Also contact United Healthcare for information about what to about your mother's current Medicare Advantage plan with them if she becomes Medicaid eligible. They have Medicare Advantage plans designed for those who are eligible for Medicaid, which they call Dual Complete.This SHIP office looks exactly what I was hoping for! I will contact them.
My mom has United Healthcare/Advantage AARP.
Almost certainly, your mother is still covered by Medicare (through the United Healthcare Medicare Advantage plan) but has used up the number of days of skilled nursing care that are covered. After your her assets have been sufficiently depleted, she will become eligible for Medicaid, and Medicaid will cover skilled nursing care, with Medicare still providing hospital and medical insurance.
