Rule:26P006
Summary
Vermont has adopted a new Medicaid Estate Recovery rule, codifying the federally required procedure for recovering Medicaid benefits paid on behalf of deceased enrollees from their estates. The rule, which moves estate recovery provisions from Medicaid Covered Services Rule 7108 into the Health Care Administrative Rules, adds a definitions section and increases the undue hardship estate value threshold.
What this may mean
Vermont Medicaid's estate recovery process now operates under a standalone codified rule with a revised undue hardship threshold, which may reduce recovery activity against smaller estates that previously fell within the prior threshold. The change affects estate administrators, Medicaid enrollees' heirs, and providers involved in Medicaid planning.
