Summary by Valerie Bogart, Selfhelp Community Services, Inc. based on information posted at http://www.health.state.ny.us/health_care/medicaid/redesign/

The purpose of this Medicaid Alert is to inform community based organizations and other providers of the standards used to evaluate how a Medicaid or Family Health Plus recipient meets his financial maintenance requirements. Financial maintenance questions occur when a person has higher monthly living expenses than monthly income. A form is included in the alert that should be filled out and sent to Medicaid to evaluate a person's monthly expense ratio to their income.
