Spend down is the amount one must incur in medical expenses (paid or unpaid) before Medicaid eligibility begins. It is the difference between one's non-exempt income and assets and the income and asset standards in one's State - e.g., non-exempt income = $800/month/non-exempt assets = 0; State income standard = $700/month; spend down = $100.

How does the Medicaid spend down work?
Persons who meet the "non-financial" factors of eligibility (e.g., citizenship) but whose countable income and assets exceed the State's limits can be enrolled in Medicaid with a spend-down. Homestead property and personal property including a motor vehicle do not count. The monthly spend-down amount is the difference between the person's countable income and assets and the State's limit. When the person's medical expenses (paid or unpaid) meet or exceed the spend-down amount for a given month, the person may receive Medicaid for that month. Expenses can be carried over to meet spend-down for a different month.
