State Medicaid offices target dead people’s homes to recoup their health care costs

New York and Ohio led the country in Medicaid estate recovery collections, bringing in over $100 million in a single year, according to a Dayton Daily News investigation.
The Kansas Medicaid program was found to be cost-effective, generating $37 million while only spending $5 million to recover the money, but the state failed to collect from eligible estates.
The Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation of Massachusetts has called for a law change that would prohibit additional collections, citing the potential for perpetuating wealth disparities and intergenerational poverty.
