The cost of nursing
home care can be financially devastating and
rapidly deplete your lifetime savings. Medicare only
covers a limited amount of nursing home care.
The Medicaid program can pay for nursing home
care and other medical expenses but, in order to
qualify for Medicaid benefits, your assets must
be below a specific amount. In most cases there are
options to protect assets and at the same time bring
your assets below the Medicaid asset limits.
The Medicaid
eligibility rules are complex and change
frequently. It is important to consult with an
Medicaid attorney knowledgeable about this program to
get accurate, thorough and reliable advice on your
options.
The attorneys at Isenhour Bleck have over 60 years of
combined experience in dealing with the Medicaid
program’s rules. In fact, we have been actively
involved in the rule-making process when the
Department of Social and Health Services has proposed
rules that affect our clients and we regularly make
presentations to other attorneys to explain these
rules.
We have in-depth
meetings with our clients to explore the options and
strategies available to them. After this meeting, we
develop a comprehensive written plan that explains the
available options and provides a detailed guide to
implement the plan. Then, we provide ongoing,
step-by-step assistance to guide our clients through
the process of accessing Medicaid benefits.
