Using Medicaid Planning to Effectively Protect Your Future
Although many people need assistance as they get older, paying for a long term care stay can be very expensive, and many people worry about where the funding will come from. Will insurance cover it? Will you be able to afford to pay for it out of pocket? Will Medicaid cover the expense?

Applying for Medicaid Benefits
Applying for Medicaid benefits is a daunting process. When clients contact us, our attorney gathers the information and submits the application for approval at the county level. Without an intricate familiarity of Medicaid benefits and pitfalls, it can be difficult to make it through all the steps. Working with an experienced lawyer means someone will be looking out for your best interests in every stage of the planning, including:
- Preplanning and benefit planning: We take the time to understand your family and the dynamics that will affect your Medicaid benefits. Where does your family live? What are their thoughts about care? Is there a possibility you will be living with them? Will you be in an assisted living facility?
- Crisis planning: If you or a loved one is already in a nursing home, we can help you plan to prevent you from spending all your money on this care. We work with clients to find income to supplement Medicaid benefits and look for ways to maximize the benefits.
- Estate planning: We check to make sure all estate planning documents are consistent with your wishes. Looking at the complete estate plan, we create a plan to address the possibility of long term health care.
We know many clients who contact us feel overwhelmed by the Medicaid application process and are worried about running out of money. When clients contact us, we take the time to understand all their fears and create a plan to address them. Contact us online or call 303-872-5229 to schedule your appointment.
