Individuals applying for nursing facility coverage must have a Medicaid coverable group. This can be any coverable group including Family - Related. The individual need not be in a elderly or disability coverage group.
If the individual only qualifies for a coverage group that does not pay for nursing care services the individual is not given a cost of care since nursing care services are not being paid. This includes Non-Categorical, HIV Waiver and Breast and Cervical Cancer groups (See Part 9).
