      Where the applicant has been found to be otherwise eligible for nursing home benefits under medicaid, but is serving a penalty, must the nursing home charge the medicaid rate during the penalty or can they charge the private pay rate?
      Thanks for any info

        Hi Jesse,

        Our understanding is that the nursing home will charge a client the private pay rate during a penalty period. Do you currently have a case where that is proving to be otherwise?

          The nursing home charges the private pay rate during the penalty period.
