Medicaid Planning South Florida

Medicaid Planning means taking advantage of legal options to help qualify for Medicaid sooner than otherwise possible.

Medicaid is generally only available to patients in nursing homes, however, there are a few assisted living facility and home care exceptions. Unfortunately, many long term care recipients go to nursing homes on Medicaid when they run out of money, regardless of whether or not they need nursing home care.

Medicaid is a federal program administered by the states. It was signed into law in 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson the same time Medicare started. Initially, it was designed to take care of the very poor's nursing home bills. Today it is funded by a combination of federal and state funds as an entitlement program, which means, if you qualify, you are entitled to the benefits.

 We define a Medicaid crisis as a situation where an individual has either been admitted to a nursing home or is about to be placed in a nursing home (in some cases care is being received at home or in an assisted living facility).

 The family is dealing with long-term health care costs that may range between $3,000 and $10,000+ per month and the only resource seems to be the family's life savings. They have been told they must "spend down” their loved ones’ assets or perhaps that they must be "impoverished" before they are eligible for Medicaid benefits.

This is simply not the case. Opportunities exist whereby financial situations can be legally restructured to allow qualification for benefits while preserving a large portion of, if not all, family assets.
