Discrimination Against Medicaid Patients
Medicaid is a state administered medical assistance program which gets funding from the federal government. It is also recognized as Title 19 and it is accessible to people who belong to low-income levels, have no form of health insurance and have no means to pay for their medical expenses.
For people who need the services of a nursing home care and are qualified for Medicaid benefits, most of the services can be covered under the program. Medicaid will provide compensation for general accommodation and food, nurses, therapists and other staff at the home, doctor’s visits, dental care, several prescription medicines, and essential equipment such as eyeglasses, wheel chairs and hearing aids. Medicaid does not cover what is considered as non-essential services and treatment. Examples of these are fees for chiropractors, naturopaths, special psychologists, audiologists, speech therapists and physical therapists. Also often not included under Medicaid benefits are coverage for single rooms and telephones or televisions.
