Will Medicaid pay for my bed if I am temporarily absent from the nursing home?
Yes, each Medicaid nursing home patient has 30 calendar days per year for which Medicaid will pay to hold the bed while in the hospital or for physician pre approved therapeutic visits with family or friends. Additional days can be authorized for residents in an ICF/MF facility.
