ND Medicaid covers nursing facilities that are certified for Medicare participation, properly licensed, and enrolled in the state Medicaid program. HHS's provider-facing long-term-care materials report 73 licensed Medicaid-participating nursing facilities statewide, offering 4,956 beds combined, with roughly 2,400 Medicaid-eligible residents currently receiving nursing-facility services.

It's worth separating program eligibility from actual admission: HHS notes that skilled nursing facilities set their own admission policies, so a facility's willingness to take a Medicaid-pending resident is a distinct question from whether that person meets the state's eligibility requirements in the first place.
