Показать описание
Questions about medicaid vs medicare might be swirling in your head if you're a caregiver for your elderly parent. If you're under 65 years old, then you may have never been exposed to health insurance for the elderly. It's no fault of your own, but here you are, searching the internet, try to find out what's the difference between medicare and medicaid. You're not alone! After working in the health care field for over 25 years, it's painfully clear that family caregivers very often have no clue about medi-caid, medi-care; what the difference is between them, who qualifies, what they cover, and how they work together. It is confusing!

In this video I'm going to discuss everything you need to know about medi-caid vs medicare (or medi-care vs medi-cal where I live). By the end of this crash course episode, you're going to have a firm understanding of the difference between medicaid and medicare. Should you get medicaid for seniors in your life? Will they qualify? And how does medicaid mesh with medicare benefits? All these questions will be answered. What are medicaid and medicare? You'll never have to ask again!

Oh my goodness! Thank you sooo much for this video. You explained things so well. I shared to my mother, she will be 65 next month. I am also disabled and dual eligible and you've just made our lives less stressful!

Sofia Amirpoor, thank you for making this video! Medicare part A: are you only paying the hospital deductible of $1408 + daily charges for longer hospitalization if you have NOT worked over the 10 year requirement?

@Sofia Amirpoor Thanks for the video - I do have a question in regards to Medicaid - I was told that people over the age of 55 have to repay the government for many of the medical expenses. My question is, let's say someone got on Medicaid at the age of 48 and later got off it at age 57. Would the state try and be comped for those extra 2 years prior to age 55 or no? Thanks for your reply.

I believe my mother has been mentally ill her whole life but never diagnosed. 3 years ago it was determined that she had mild dementia -likely Alzheimers type and I am trying to have her assessed again next week since she is clearly much worse. My Mother has been mentally and verbally abusive to my sister and I our entire lives. After we became adults and moved out, My Father has been being abused in the same cruel way for many years since they live in the same house alone. My brother ( who has never helped in anyway) is her favorite and the only person who she seems to love. She wants to go live with or near him in California. My parents live in Florida and I manage their finances and all their needs, (not an easy task at al)l. I recently had to take my Dad's car away ( 4 accidents, etc) which has caused a lot more stress and problems. I've hired an assistant to drive them to Doctor apps and groceries. My Mother wants to live in CA and my Dad would love to finally be free of her abuse. How is this done? Does she have to establish residency to be eligible for Medical? She refuses to go to an ALF here but might do it if she can be near my Brother in CA. It all is very confusing.

Thank you. Is there a discussion on Medicaid and the pay back topic? Is payback from an estate required only when enrolled in long term Medicaid (for nursing home care) or is payback required from regular Medicaid for as long as someone is enrolled? I’m unable to find this answer directly anywhere.. I hope I’m asking this clearly enough! Again thank you.

Thank you for some good information. SUGGESTION: Please stop addressing the audience as parent caregivers. It is condescending. Your audience includes us seniors… yes we are out there with intelligence and ability to act for ourselves. 😉
