Loved ones of a Kansas woman who passed away in June from cancer are warning others about the hidden disadvantage of Medicaid as they prepare to lose their longtime family home.
Treva Bollman, 65, was primarily insured with Medicare and secondarily under Medicaid when she fell ill, according to KCTV 5, who spoke with the woman's distressed daughter, Janie Lucas, and husband, Walter W. Bill Bollman Jr., outside the Elwood property.
They were unaware Bollman checked 'I understand' on page 15 of a 16-page document, meaning she agreed to allow the state to make a claim against her estate in order to recover medical expenditures.
Her daughter said: 'People shouldn't have to think about those things when they are sick... they should just think about getting better.'

The family recently learned the state of Kansas placed a 'post death Medicaid Lien' under the property.
The family received a letter in the mail after Bollman - who spent her final days under care in a nursing home - fell ill.
Her husband of 26 years said: 'We get this letter after she gets sick. Saying they want it now. It’s no longer mine... and that’s not right.
'[I] busted my butt... worked hard, and she worked hard just to make the ends meet.'
Her online obituary said she formerly worked as an accountant.

Lucas and Bollman Jr. said they now have to pay more than $400,000 or give up the beloved family home where they built years of memories.
The family said the home is worth an estimated $50,000 to $60,000.
'People need to know they are going to do this. People need to know they can take away your homes if they help your parents,' Lucas warned others.
Elder car attorney Tim Winkler also added in a statement to the local station: 'When someone goes on Medicaid, they are notified that at some point estate recovery is going to be a part of this process.
'Unfortunately, they are inundated with so much paperwork it probably doesn’t even get noticed.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
