Alisa,

 

Hope all is well with you.

 

I have a question about insurance.  I have a patient that has BC/BS and is in a nursing home.  He is also pending Medicaid.  BC/BS is not paying anything towards the nursing home – would BC/BS pay for an AAC (assuming it is a covered item)?

 

Thanks in advance,
