Estate Recovery is mandated by federal and state law to seek repayment from probated estates of certain deceased members for Medi-Cal benefits received on or after their 55th birthday. Repayment includes Fee-for-Service and managed care premiums or capitation payments for nursing facility services, certain home and community-based services, and related hospital and prescription drug services received when the member was an inpatient in a nursing facility or was receiving home and community-based services. Repayment cannot exceed the value of a member’s probated estate. The Estate Recovery program also educates the public on the laws and regulations governing Estate Recovery.
