The Pros and Cons of Long-Term Care Insurance

March 16, 2023 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

long-term care insurance

Long-term care insurance is a type of insurance that helps cover the costs, such as nursing home care, home health care, and assisted living. It is relevant because Medicare does not cover long-term custodial care. This type of insurance can seem like an appealing option for people who are concerned about the financial impact of a prolonged illness or disability.  The flexibility to receive care at home or in a facility of their choosing is appealing on the surface as well. However, there are … [Read more...] about The Pros and Cons of Long-Term Care Insurance

January 31, 2023 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

Don’t Expect Too Much From Medicare

December 22, 2022 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

Medicaid planning Medicare limitations

When you pay FICA or self-employment taxes, you get something in return. You earn retirement credits when you pay these taxes, and this year, you get one credit for every $1510 in taxable income. This figure is adjusted to account for inflation, but it has always been relatively low. The maximum annual accrual is four credits, and you become eligible for Social Security and Medicare when you have at least 40 credits. Even if you have never worked, you can become eligible for these programs on … [Read more...] about Don’t Expect Too Much From Medicare

Is Long-Term Care Insurance Recommended?

December 1, 2022 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

long-term care insurance

We are going to look at long-term care insurance in this post. If you are not concerned because you will have Medicare, you should take a moment to absorb some background information. Custodial Care Medicare provides a strong health insurance underpinning, but it does not cover everything in full. It will pay for 80 percent of treatments that are provided by physicians and other health care professionals, and there are deductibles, premiums, and other types of coinsurance. In addition to … [Read more...] about Is Long-Term Care Insurance Recommended?

Medicaid spousal allowances elder law

You are probably aware of the fact that Medicaid is a need-based government health insurance program that is potentially available to people of all ages. Medicare is a separate program that provides health insurance for senior citizens. If you are going to qualify for Medicare and you retired with resources, you would logically assume that you will never be interested in Medicaid coverage. This makes sense on the surface, but many elders do rely on Medicaid to pay for long-term … [Read more...] about Is My Spouse Left With Nothing If I Use Medicaid for Nursing Home Expenses?

June 30, 2022 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law
