If the client dies during the deductible period, and is not already certified, look at all countable costs (4.9.8.1) prior to death. If those countable costs meet the deductible, certify the dead person. The time period for the deductible remains six months (no prorating). All months that remain of the six-month deductible period from the point the client dies, are considered to have $0 income Income is anything you receive in cash or in kind that you can use to meet your needs for food, clothing, and shelter.. The deductible amount should be recalculated. If the deductible was met, eligibility will be the point from which eligibility was determined to have been met through the date of death.
If the client prepays the deductible and dies after the deductible period starts, the deductible is non-refundable. If the client prepays and dies before the deductible period starts, the deductible is refundable.
