Medical Assistance Planning

Medical Assistance Planning: Planning ahead for the medical care you deserve.

Providing for your own health care as you age has become a complex process. Nursing home laws, Medical Assistance/Medicaid qualifications, legalities around asset requirements and exceptions all seem to multiply each year. It can be daunting to try to get a realistic idea of what to expect, and how to start positioning yourself now to get the aid you may need in the future. We’re here to help you develop a clear, actionable plan to ensure the care that you deserve.

Unlike Medicare, people are not entitled to receive Medical Assistance/Medicaid later in life. It is a means-based program that has asset qualifications and other limits that must be anticipated. Medical Assistance/Medicaid is governed both by the State and Federal government, making the number of regulations affecting the program substantial. Medical assistance planning with an experienced guide to help navigate the eligibility requirements and options that will affect you is one of the best decisions you can make for yourself. As always, the sooner you start, the better chance you have of making the most of both your assets and Medical Assistance/Medicaid benefits.

At Elder Legal Services (Mr. Will), our attorneys work together with you to come up with the most advantageous Medical Assistance plan for you, preserving assets that might otherwise need to be spent down, and charting a course for a secure future with the excellent care you deserve.

Medical Assistance planning may include:

Medical Assistance/Medicaid eligibility analysis, nursing home planning and disability planning, personal services agreements, asset analysis and retention.
