Medicare And Property Liens
Summary
Medicare does not place liens on properties or take proceeds from the sale of a primary residence. It is a federal health insurance program and does not recover costs through property liens. Medicaid, however, can place liens for long-term care costs, but this does not apply if the person does not receive Medicaid. Medicare covers short-term skilled nursing care after a hospital stay, limited to 100 days, with full coverage for the first 20 days and a copayment for days 21-100. Respite care is covered under hospice care for up to 5 consecutive days, with a small copayment.Full Conversation
If two people own a primary residence and one is placed in a nursing home, can Medicare take proceeds from the sale of the primary residence?
Hi ****,
To understand your situation better, could you clarify whether the person in the nursing home is receiving Medicaid benefits? This will help in providing a more accurate response.
Thank you.

Yes the person gets Medicaid
Hi ****,
In New Jersey, Medicaid can place a lien on the property of a Medicaid recipient in a nursing home to recover costs. However, certain exemptions and protections may apply, especially if there is a spouse still living in the home.
Is the other owner of the residence a spouse or a different family member?

The state is Colorado and the other person is the nursing home patient's child.
Hi ****,
In Colorado, Medicaid can place a lien on a property to recover costs for a nursing home resident, but there are protections if the home is jointly owned:
- Medicaid cannot enforce the lien while the joint owner (child) lives in the home.
- After the Medicaid recipient's death, recovery may occur when the home is sold.
I hope this helps. Do you need any further information?
