I've been a resident of an assisted living facility since October 2021. For the first three months the administrator at the time didn't bill Medicaid for my room and board nor did he set an amount for me to pay each month as my deductible. For those three months I was basically living at the ALF free. In January of 2022 I began paying a deductible per month of some $750 and I continued paying that amount each month. Every month I'm invoiced a very large sum of money in addition to my monthly deductible. I do not know why I am billed this very large amount unless it is the Medicaid charges that Medicaid was not charged for. The administrator refuses to discuss or document it. She has said I must either pay it or leave.
Can an ALF bill me for an amount Medicaid should have paid if they had billed Medicaid but neglected to do so?
I have only Social Security and cannot pay this large amount.
