Tex. HHSC Medicaid Hospice Provider Manual § 3500
Medicaid Eligibility and Other Programs
Revision 06-2; Effective December 12, 2006
The applicant must meet the requirement for 30 consecutive days (in a Medicaid bed) in one or more Medicaid NFs and ICF/MR-RC's, and must meet all other Medicaid eligibility criteria before that applicant can be Medicaid certified. After the 30 days, the applicant may be Medicaid eligible from the first day of application. Death, hospital stays after admission, and therapeutic home visits not exceeding three days do not break the 30-consecutive-day period. If the individual dies in the NF, ICF/MR-RC or hospital before the 30 consecutive days have passed, the requirement is considered to be met.
ME staff also determine eligibility for certain federally mandated, community-based Medicaid programs that use the SSI limits with certain special income disregards. These are Type Programs 03, 18 and 22 (Social Security cost-of-living exclusion programs).
