Magi Medicaid Look Back Period

Full Conversation

if you are a MAGI applicant **** home care medicaid, how do the 30 month look back **** home care apply to you in NEW YORK STATE
In New York State, the *-month look-back period applies to Medicaid home care applicants. However, **** MAGI (Modified Adjusted Gross Income) based Medicaid, the look-back period doesn't apply. Here are the key points:
- MAGI Medicaid doesn't have asset tests.
- The look-back period applies to non-MAGI Medicaid home care.
- Transfers within the look-back period may incur penalties.
so **** home care is a separate thing?
Yes, MAGI-based Medicaid and home care Medicaid are treated differently. MAGI-based Medicaid is primarily income-focused and doesn't include the same asset tests or look-back period as traditional Medicaid home care in New York State.
