💨 Abstract

Medicaid is crucial for millions of older adults in the U.S., covering over 60% of nursing home residents. It helps pay for long-term care, including daily activities, meals, and medical supplies. However, coverage can stop due to eligibility changes, administrative issues, or financial improvements. If Medicaid stops paying, seniors must act quickly to appeal, seek legal help, and explore alternative payment options.
