A family paid $43,000 in private nursing home fees over five months while waiting for Medicaid approval for their father. When Medicaid approval finally arrives, it is backdated to cover those months, meaning Medicaid should have paid for that care. The nursing home must reconcile payments, refunding the family for the private fees that Medicaid now covers, minus the father's patient liability and any agreed private charges. Families should request written confirmation of refunds and be prepared for delays due to billing cycles, but they have recourse through state agencies if refunds stall.
