Let's hear your votes. New speech pathology clinic in a middle income tract which takes 60% of their income from Medicare.

CD or no?

Medicare or Medicaid? If Medicaid, I would make the argument for yes. I recently had this come up with a service for special needs individuals with NYS and when they pushed back I was able to prove via their annual financial statement they receive more than 50% of income from Medicaid disbursements. It was then accepted.

Medicare is not related to income so it is of no value regarding determining a beneficiaries income class although many people on Medicare may be low- or moderate-income persons. So it would not be definitive enough to satisfy examiners about the income class of people getting services at the clinic.

Both of these comments have been helpful. I'll go back to the file and review it again. Thank you.
