Beneficiary
recipient, receiver, payee, heir, inheritor
The likely word is the noun beneficiary (recipient, or heir).
Medicaid is a State-run program for indigent persons who meet certain other factors of eligibility; it is not based on employment. You might be thinking of Medicare, which does require an employment history (by either the beneficiary or the beneficiary's spouse).
Medicaid will act as the primary payer when a beneficiary has no other health insurance coverage or when other insurance policies do not cover specific services provided. Additionally, Medicaid may serve as the primary payer for individuals eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare, depending on the services rendered and the specific circumstances of their coverage. In cases where the beneficiary has private insurance that does not cover certain costs, Medicaid can step in to cover those expenses.
Medicaid may file a claim against the estate of the deceased recipient, including any real property.
Certainly altho I see no benefit for a Medicaid recipient. The HMO would be the primary insurer and Medicare secondary. Medicaid is always the payor of last resort. However, there shouldn't be any expenses for Medicare or Medicaid to pay.
Inheritor(beneficiary, heir, legatee, recipient, successor)
You can find your Recipient ID number for medical assistance on your Medicaid or health insurance card, which typically lists your personal information and the unique ID number. Additionally, you may access it through your state's Medicaid website or by contacting your local Medicaid office directly. If you have received any correspondence regarding your medical assistance, such as approval letters, your Recipient ID may also be included there.
Medicaid can file a property lien and/or estate claim to recover expenses from the assets of the deceased recipient.
Yes.
No, a donee beneficiary is not always an incidental beneficiary. A donee beneficiary is specifically intended by the parties to receive a benefit from a contract, while an incidental beneficiary may receive a benefit as a byproduct of the contract but is not the intended recipient. Therefore, while all donee beneficiaries are intended beneficiaries, incidental beneficiaries do not have enforceable rights under the contract.
