Estonian immigrants Sample Clauses

Estonian immigrants. Estonians who have migrated to Finland are ethnically and linguistically a diverse group of Estonians, Russians and Ingrian Finns who are people with a Finnish ancestry.78 This diversity came up in this research as well, as the informants represent all the above mentioned groups. Because of the historical developments in Estonia, even in the group of eight informants, there are many different kinds of backgrounds. Even though most of my informants speak Estonian as their native language, many of them have an ancestry in the other former Soviet Union countries or in the Nordic Countries. In addition, they all speak Russian too. As I need, however, a kind of concept to categorize my informants, I will refer to them as Estonians. Besides the different ethnic backgrounds, the informants have also had different reasons to move. Some of them moved to Finland as returned migrants or as a family member of a person with the Finnish ancestry. Another main reason for move was a work in Finland, so they could be called as migrant workers. The concept of migrant worker includes an idea of a temporary move, a person moves to another country to earn his or her living there, but is not planning to settle there permanently79. However, some of the informants have stayed in Finland longer time and some might stay in Finland even permanently, and could be thus called as migrant which refers to a person who has moved to another country permanently in order to earn his or her living there80. For the sake of simplicity, I refer to my informants as immigrants or migrants in the situations when the motivation for the move is not that relevant. 77 Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx 1998, 5-6. 78 Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxxxx, Keski-Hirvelä, Pitkänen, Xxxxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxxxx 2010, 4. 79 Liebkind 1994, 9-10. 80 Ibid, 9-10 4 METHODS AND SOURCES The primary sources of the research consist of the eight interviews that I have done. By comparing previous research and official reports with the findings of my own data, I will construct a picture of Estonians in Finland and try to answer my research questions. Probably the most challenging, but also the most interesting, part of my work are the interviews. The data collected by interviews are based on the personal experiences of the informants. It is also bound to the time of the interviews and the skills of the researcher. In the interviews, the interviewer is inevitably leading the discussion but he or she should avoid influencing the informants‟ answers too much. The info...

  • Medicare If the Resident meets the eligibility requirements for skilled nursing facility benefits under the Medicare Part A Hospital Insurance Program, the Facility will bill Medicare directly for Part A services provided to the Resident. Medicare will reimburse the Facility a fixed per diem or daily fee based on the Resident’s classification within the Medicare RUG IV guidelines or successor guidelines thereto. If the Resident continues to be eligible, Medicare may provide coverage of up to 100 days of care. The first 20 days of covered services are fully paid by Medicare and the next 80 days (days 21 through 100) of the covered services are paid in part by Medicare and subject to a daily coinsurance amount for which the Resident is responsible. A Resident with Medicare Part B and/or Part D coverage, who subsequently exhausts his/her Part A coverage or no longer needs a skilled level of care under Part A, may still be eligible to receive coverage for certain Part B services (previously included in the Part A payment to the Facility) and/or Part D services when Part A coverage ends. Medicare will terminate coverage for Medicare beneficiaries receiving physical, occupational and/or speech therapy (“therapy services”) if the Resident does not receive therapy for three (3) consecutive days, whether planned or unplanned, for any reason, including illness or refusals, doctor appointments or religious holidays. If such therapy was the basis for Medicare Part A coverage, the Resident would be responsible for the cost of his/her stay, unless another payor source is available. If Medicare denies coverage and denies further payment and/or recoups any payment made to the Facility, the Resident, Resident Representative, and/or Sponsor hereby agree to pay to the Facility any outstanding amounts for unpaid services not covered by other third party payers, subject to applicable federal and state laws and regulations. Such amounts shall be calculated in accordance with the Facility’s applicable prevailing private rates and charges for all basic and additional services provided to the Resident. Except for specifically excluded services, most nursing home services are covered under the consolidated billing requirements for Medicare Part A beneficiaries or under an all-inclusive rate for other third party insurers and managed care organizations (MCOs). Under these requirements, the Facility is responsible for furnishing directly, or arranging for, the services for its residents covered by Medicare Part A and MCOs. When not directly providing services, the Facility is required to enter into arrangements with outside providers and must exercise professional responsibility and control over the arranged-for services. All services that the Resident requires must be provided by the Facility or an outside provider approved by the Facility. Before obtaining any services outside of the Facility, the Resident must consult the Facility. While the Resident has the right to choose a health care provider, the Resident understands that by selecting the Facility, the Resident has effectively exercised his/her right of free choice with respect to the entire package of services for which the Facility is responsible under the consolidated billing and third party billing requirements. The Resident agrees that he/she will not arrange for the provision of ancillary services unless the Resident has obtained prior approval from the Facility.

  • Medicaid If and when the Resident’s assets/funds have fallen below the Medicaid eligibility levels, and the Resident otherwise satisfies the Medicaid eligibility requirements and is not entitled to any other third party coverage, the Resident may be eligible for Medicaid (often referred to as the “payor of last resort”). THE RESIDENT, RESIDENT REPRESENTATIVE AND SPONSOR AGREE TO NOTIFY THE FACILITY AT LEAST THREE (3) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EXHAUSTION OF THE RESIDENT’S FUNDS (APPROXIMATELY $50,000) AND/OR INSURANCE COVERAGE TO CONFIRM THAT A MEDICAID APPLICATION HAS OR WILL BE SUBMITTED TIMELY AND ENSURE THAT ALL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MET. THE RESIDENT, RESIDENT REPRESENTATIVE AND/OR SPONSOR AGREE TO PREPARE AND FILE AN APPLICATION FOR MEDICAID BENEFITS PRIOR TO THE EXHAUSTION OF THE RESIDENT’S RESOURCES. Services reimbursed under Medicaid are outlined in Attachment “A” to this Agreement. Once a Medicaid application has been submitted on the Resident’s behalf, the Resident, Sponsor, and Resident Representative agree to pay, to the extent they have access to the Resident’s funds, to the Facility the Resident’s monthly income, which will be owed to the Facility under the Resident’s Medicaid budget. Medicaid recipients are required to pay their Net Available Monthly Income (“NAMI”) to the Facility on a monthly basis as a co-payment obligation as part of the Medicaid rate. A Resident’s NAMI equals his or her income (e.g., Social Security, pension, etc.), less allowed deductions. The Facility has no control over the determination of NAMI amounts, and it is the obligation of the Resident, Resident Representative and/or Sponsor to appeal any disputed NAMI calculation with the appropriate government agency. Once Medicaid eligibility is established, the Resident, Resident Representative and/or Sponsor agree to pay NAMI to the Facility or to arrange to have the income redirected by direct deposit to the Facility and to ensure timely Medicaid recertification. The Resident, Sponsor and Resident Representative agree to provide to the Facility copies of any notices (such as requests for information, budget letters, recertification, denials, etc.) they receive from the Department of Social Services related to the Resident’s Medicaid coverage. Until Medicaid is approved, the Facility may bill the Resident’s account as private pay and the Resident will be responsible for the Facility’s private pay rate. If Medicaid denies coverage, the Resident or the Resident’s authorized representative can appeal such denial; however, payment for any uncovered services will be owed to the Facility at the private pay rate pending the appeal determination. If Medicaid eligibility is established and retroactively covers any period for which private payment has been made, the Facility agrees to refund or credit any amount in excess of the NAMI owed during the covered period.
