When a person receives Medicaid benefits, Medicaid and the state of Colorado through the Department of Health Care Policy & Financing can try to recover the funds paid by the government on a person’s behalf from that person’s estate. Often a person who received Medicaid’s largest asset is his or her home. Medicaid will often put a lien on that individual’s home after they pass away to try to recover the costs of the person’s Medicaid care.
