Should I call Medicaid? I do have Power of Attorney for him. Or should I cal CICOA (Central IN Council on Aging)? My sister is also helping and I believe CICOA was instrumental in assisting her getting him on Medicaid, placing him in an Assisted Living Facility, etc. I know he gets $52.00 per month...from Medicaid? I am confused as to whether he is still "on" Medicare as well. Thank you.
Medicaid helps indigent citizens to pay for certain medical costs or in your case, a facility that he would be unable to pay for on his own.
If you have POA, you should have access to all of his financial paperwork . Also, the assisted living facility should have copies of his medical insurance cards, and this would include his medicare card --indicating he has coverage.
Does this help??
