 I have just experienced the
 Medicaid buy in for
 disabled workers, which is what I believe you are referring
 too.   I
 operate an 8 bed ICF, one of the guys who lives here has it
 and he also earns a
 very good paycheck from the workshop.
  
 The problem I see is that
 he is accumulating a lot
 of dollars but it is very difficult to find ways to spend
 it.   Even
 with  a modest SS amount of say $500.00 a month, that
 is an extra $6000.00
 a year that we are responsible for and have to find a way to
 spend it or lose
 it.   I believe the maximum he can have is
 $10,000.00, you could
 easliy reach that in less than a year with some
 folks.
  
 There is just not enough
 areas that you could spend
 it on consistantly.   After you get a burial
 contract, customize a
 bedroom, maybe get an I-pad, or bicycle, or vacation
 package, you will still be
 getting dollars to spend.
  
 I think it may be more of a
 hassle than it is
 worth.   One option may be to do that for a year
 to boost a persons
 personal assets, then get off the program.

 Buy-In for Workers with
   Disabilities (MBIWD) Who Live in ICFs

   Taking a poll.  If
 you operate an ICF, how many of the
   individuals you serve are enrolled in the Buy In
 program? 

     
   If you like the program,
 would you be willing to tell me
   why? 
     
   If you do not like the
 program, would you be willing to
   tell me why not? 
     
   I’m trying to figure
 out the “best deal” for the
   individuals we serve.
     
   Thanks,
