“Before we get started, let’s review some important terms used by the Fiduciary Branch when a state guardianship appointment ends.

Terms to Know

Resigned and resignation are terms used by Fiduciary to describe situations in which an individual has their rights restored. This can also be when a successor guardian or conservator has been appointed by a District Court.

Expired is a term used by Fiduciary when an individual under guardianship passes away.

A pre-need burial is a term used to describe funeral arrangements that are established and paid for in advance of an individual’s death.

Course Summary

Hanna

“In this course, you have learned the critical components of establishing facility payments based upon the level of care, as well as payments to service providers. 

The Fiduciary Branch ensures prompt review, accuracy, and payment to maintain the health, safety, and well-being of individuals under guardianship.”

Lesson 8: Bed Holds

Bed Holds

Hanna

“A bed hold may occur when an individual under guardianship must be away from their facility residence for a temporary absence due to a hospital stay, offsite rehabilitation, incarceration, etc. 

It is important for Fiduciary staff to understand how bed holds work to properly maintain an individual’s living arrangement when a temporary leave of absence occurs, and when financial resources are available to accommodate a bed hold.

In these situations, Fiduciary staff work collaboratively with Guardianship field staff to determine what is in the best interest of the individuals under guardianship.

In this lesson, we’ll review the regulatory procedure for bed holds.”

Lesson 7: Medical and Pharmacy Payments

Medical and Pharmacy Payments

Hanna

“The Fiduciary Branch ensures all medical and pharmacy payments for individuals under guardianship are processed and paid timely to prevent any hardships on individuals or service providers.”

Fiduciary staff will review the statement of charges within 30 business days of receipt for accuracy.

All urgent requests shall be reviewed and processed, with a response within 24 business hours.

If the statement of charges is not accurate, the bill is rejected and returned to the provider with an explanation.

Fiduciary staff will enter an event in KYGFIS and attach the letter of explanation for the rejected bill.

If any charges are due, staff will ensure the individual under guardianship has the funds to pay the bills. If the individual’s income is not sufficient to cover the monthly expenses, Fiduciary staff will follow-up with the Benefits Branch to verify income in Benefind.
