If you have medicare as your primary insurance how do you get your Medicaid to be the secondary?
Medicaid is always the payor of last resort. Before a Medicaid agency pays a bill for a Medicare beneficiary, they require documentation that Medicare has "adjudicated" the bill (i.e., decided whether to make payment and, if so, how much).
Can Medicare or Medicaid pierce an irrevocable trust?
It depends on how the trust is drafted. A properly drafted irrevocable trust, in Florida, will be invisible to Medicaid (Medicare doesn't factor assets into whether or not one is qualified the way Medicaid does). However, transfers of assets into the trust must be done 5 years before applying to medicaid or medicaid will assess a transfer penalty (this is referred to as the "five year lookback"). The transfer penalty is a period of ineligibility for certain medicaid benefits depending on the size of the transfer. As a result, irrevocable trust planning would not be appropriate for all Medicaid planning scenarios.

Does medicaid covers lapband procedure in ny?
Medicaid does not cover obesity, and under Medicare, hospital and physician services for obesity are clearly excluded. Medicaid is a government program that provides health insurance to qualified individuals whose income level is below a certain point. Recipients of Medicaid are primarily women and children who are poor and members of minority groups. Given the high prevalence of obesity among those populations, it could be presumed that many Medicaid recipients are likely to have obesity. Medicare provides health insurance coverage to elderly citizens and disabled Americans who qualify by meeting criteria of the Social Security Administration (SSA) and completing a two-year waiting period. i do not know if medicaid covers the lap band surgery however it does cover gastric bypass surgery ive had gastric bypass surgery over 4years ago and medicaid did cover alought i did have breathing problems due to weight call you local office and ask for the info directly for ny 18005055678 that answer before made no sense!!!!!love yourself do research and ask othersMedicare Part A does cover Obesity Bariatric Surgery but for specifics you need to contact your states medicare office because coverage can vary from state to state.

Is an irrevocable trust a safe way to protect funds from being gobbled up by medicare?
I think you mean medicaid. Medicare is the program for which seniors (and some others) are eligible. Medicaid is the program for those of limited means. The iirevocable trust works if the patient is not a beneficiary of the trust and conveyed his / her assets to the trust at least five years ago. If the conveyance was within five years, then the trust assets will be counted as the patient's assets for purposes of qualifying for medicaid.
Will medicaid allow me to buy a used mobility scooter?
Medicaid may pick up part of the cost of the scooter, but it's unlikely they'll pay for the whole thing. Note that attorneys general have sued some companies for billing Medicare or Medicaid for wheelchairs and never delivering, so check up on companies before doing business with them. It will depend on your circumstances and the medicaid coverage that you have. You can request authorization to obtain one and wait to see if it will be approved.
