Patient Responsibility

In Florida, a nursing home patient who is receiving Medicaid benefits has a share of cost to pay the nursing home each month. This patient responsibility is determined by adding the Medicaid recipient's gross income from all sources and then subtracting $35 for a personal needs allowance.
