Notification of Account Balance

(A) The facility must notify each member for whom it has established a PNA account, and their authorized or legal representatives, when the balance reaches a total of $1800, which is $200 less than the maximum countable assets allowed per member. The notification must state that, if the member’s countable assets exceed the maximum allowable amount of $2000, the member may lose MassHealth eligibility. (B) If the member’s balance exceeds the maximum allowable amount, the member may apply the excess to the cost of care in the facility.
