Application for Medicaid Sample Clauses

Application for Medicaid. Prior to Medicaid eligibility, Resident and Responsible Party are required to satisfy the financial obligations of the Resident under this Agreement from monies, assets, or other similar types of financial resources of the Resident for service provided under this Agreement. Resident and Responsible Party are obligated to notify Facility when only Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000), or the value thereof, exists to satisfy the Resident’s financial obligations under this Agreement. Resident and Responsible Party are obligated to apply for Medicaid benefits at such time as Resident’s resources will no longer be sufficient to pay all Facility charges for Resident’s care and stay or when directed to do so by Facility. It is the responsibility of the Resident and Responsible Party (and not the Facility) to use diligence in applying for benefits under the Medicaid program.

Application for Medicaid. As soon as the Resident is eligible or entitled, Resident and/or Resident Representative shall apply for and seek to establish eligibility and entitlement to receive benefits under the New Jersey Medical Assistance (“Medicaid”) program. Resident and the Resident Representative agree to diligently take all steps necessary to apply for and obtain any available benefits. Resident and the Resident Representative further agree that this promise is separate from any promise to pay for care. This means that if, as a result of any failure or delay on the part of the Resident and/or Resident Representative to promptly apply for benefits and fully complete the application process when Resident is eligible for benefits, Resident and/or Resident Representative will be liable for any loss suffered by the Facility as a result of the failure or delay.
