FAQs Trust Accounts

I have Medicaid and a settlement in a Special Needs Trust. There are certain things Medicaid will not cover such as specialty wheelchairs and transportation. How can I get help purchasing these items?

If you have a settlement in a Special Needs Trust and Medicaid doesn't cover certain essential items, you can still seek help to purchase them. Specialized wheelchairs, transportation, and other medical necessities can be acquired by utilizing your Special Needs Trust funds.   The injured party must have funds in the SNT to cover these expenses.  Not all settlements include indemnity or non-Medicare funds, so I think we need to clarify that “if” their trust has additional settlement funds, Ametros can coordinate with the Trustee to assist in obtaining these non-Medicare covered items.  If the trust does not have any additional funds, they would have to pay out of pocket for those items or the IW could send Ametros funds to pay for the items with our contracted rates.

For assistance in using Special Needs Trust funds to purchase medical equipment and services not covered by Medicaid, contact Ametros. We offer expertise in navigating these scenarios and can help you obtain necessary items such as home modifications, specialized wheelchair-accessible vehicles, and daily medical supplies.  I would recommend clarifying the verbiage here to indicate non-MSA funds.
