Medicaid-How long does it take?

[Blackcat99]

I work in hospice. My patient applied for medicaid in August and was approved for medicaid in August. My mother's lawyer applied for medicaid on June 15th for my mother who has alzheimer's and CHF and still has not received an answer. How long does it usually take to get a yes or no answer in regards to applying for medicaid? Thanks for any assistance or advice.

I worked with my local Medicaid office (I live in central, Mississippi). The Medicaid workers told me that it can take up to 30 business days from the time the application was submitted.

I work in the metro area of MN. It depends on which county you are in there. the larger the population, the longer the wait. I have known it to take up to a year, and then the facility's aging report does not look nice.
