Retroactive Medicaid
Medicaid coverage that begins prior to the date of application, covering medical expenses incurred up to three months before the application if the individual was eligible during that time. This retroactive coverage helps ensure that people don’t have unpaid medical bills.

Spend-Down (Medicaid)
A process by which individuals who have income above their state’s Medicaid eligibility threshold can still qualify for Medicaid by spending their excess income on medical expenses. Once they spend down to the eligibility level, Medicaid covers remaining healthcare costs.
