Applying for the medically needy

Complete Medically Needy Spenddown – Appendix E if you applied for health care coverage for someone who is medically needy, but has income greater than the Medicaid limit and wants to be evaluated for a spenddown based on income, resources, and medical expenses. Spenddown works like an insurance policy deductible. The amount of the “deductible” is called the “spenddown liability.” Once medical bills are equal to or greater than the spenddown liability, the application will be re-evaluated for Medicaid eligibility.
