How to Apply for Medicaid

Are you feeling crushed under the weight of nursing home payments and hoping that Medicaid can help? But you donŐt know where to begin?

We help seniors and their families protect their hard-earned money and cut nursing home costs by applying for Medicaid.

But before you apply for Medicaid, there are two things that you should do. We will take those steps together at your free consultation.

First, Make Sure You Are Eligible

Medicaid is only for people with limited income and resources. To keep everyone else out, the government built a really big wall around Medicaid. You can only get inside and receive benefits if you meet the requirements in the Department of Human Services Policy Manual.

Those requirements are pretty strict. But we can help you qualify for Medicaid while protecting your assets legally and honestly. You will get our personalized recommendation at your free Medicaid consultation.

Second, Choose the Right Time to Apply

You will get the most out of your Medicaid benefits if you apply at the right time. Getting it wrong can be costly:

  • Apply too soon and you may have to spend almost all of your life savings on nursing home costs before you become eligible for Medicaid benefits (called a "spend down")
  • Apply too late and you will have spent thousands of dollars on nursing home expenses which could have been covered by Medicaid

We can help you identify the exact date that you should apply for Medicaid benefits.

But planning for Medicaid is not just about sitting around and waiting for the right date to apply. Our strategies can help you qualify for Medicaid benefits months or even years sooner. You have the greatest number of options and the most flexibility before you apply. So call us first, before you complete your Medicaid application.

What To Do Next

Becoming eligible for Medicaid could save you thousands of dollars each month on your nursing home bills. Call us at (888) 909-1414 or contact us online to schedule a free confidential consultation to find out if we can help you.
