What happens to debt when a person is in a nursing home on medicaid?

The person in charge of the affairs of the patient should contact the creditors and inform them of the situation. Most nursing.care facilities have social service people who can assist with this action. There is nothing a creditor can do in this situation, unless the accounts are joint. In that case the other party is responsible for the debt. If would appear that this person is judgment proof, but I don't know what sort of assets, they might have, so I cannot address that issue. Feel free to email me if I can be of further help.

Medicaid does not eliminate debts, but the debtor will likely be "uncollectable" - meaning it wont be worth a creditor's time to pursue the debt if there is no money available to collect.
