Best Answer

Medicare and Medicaid coverage is virtually identical. The two principal things to remember are: Medicaid is always the payor of last resort (i.e., bill Medicare and/or private insurance first); and, Medicare does not pay for long term custodial care, such as a nursing home (Medicaid does).
