Set the date which defines when clients will meet their Medicaid spend-down eligibility.

A spend-down amount is similar to an insurance policy deductible. Service liability is distributed to guarantors that require Medicaid spend-down when the Medicaid spend-down met date for the month is reached.

Note: Guarantors are required to use Medicaid Spend-Down when Yes is selected in the 'Does Guarantor Require Spend-Down' field on the Guarantors/Payors form.

Prerequisites:

  1. Go to: Avatar PM > System Maintenance > Client Maintenance

  2. In the Client ID field, enter the client name/ID or ID and click the search button. Select the client.
    Result: The Previous Spend-Down Met Date field will display previous Medicaid spend-downs assigned to the client.

  3. In the Current Spend-Down Met field, enter the date the client met their Spend-Down eligibility amount.

  4. To remove the last spend-down met date, click the Remove Last Spend-Down Met Date button.

  5. Click the File button to record the current spend-down met date.
