What Are the Disadvantages of a Medicaid Trust?

June 20, 2014 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

If you are going to be qualified for Medicare as a senior citizen, you may feel as though Medicaid is not relevant to you. These are both government health insurance programs.

Is There a Medicaid Asset Limit?

June 6, 2014 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

When you think about health insurance for senior citizens, Medicare is probably going to come to mind first. You pay into the Medicare program when you are working and paying taxes. You can accumulate as many as 4 retirement credits per year. Once you have 40 credits, you will qualify for Medicare when you reach the age of 65.

Most seniors are not going to need Medicaid coverage when they reach the age of 65, because … [Read more...] about Is There a Medicaid Asset Limit?

Do You Have to Impoverish Yourself to Qualify for Medicaid?

April 10, 2014 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

Medicaid is a joint federal/state government administered health insurance program for people with financial need. Most people who have worked for a significant period of time are going to qualify for Medicare when they are senior citizens. The majority of them have some resources. Because of this they wouldn't qualify for Medicaid.

What Are the Disadvantages of a Medicaid Trust?

March 28, 2014 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

You may wonder why Medicaid would be relevant to you if you are going to qualify for Medicare as a senior citizen. The reason why Medicaid is relevant to many elders is because of the fact that Medicare will not pay for custodial care. Custodial care is the type of care that you would receive in a nursing home or assisted living community. It is essentially living assistance rather than medical or convalescent care. For this reason, it is not covered under Medicare. … [Read more...] about What Are the Disadvantages of a Medicaid Trust?

What Assets Can I Keep When My Spouse Qualifies for Medicaid?

March 24, 2014 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

The Medicaid program is relied upon by a significant percentage of seniors who require long-term care. This is because of the fact that Medicare will not pay for living assistance. If you need help with your activities of daily living, this is considered to be custodial care. Medicare will pay for convalescent care after surgery for as long as 100 days, but it will not pay for custodial care at all. … [Read more...] about What Assets Can I Keep When My Spouse Qualifies for Medicaid?

What Is the Five Year Medicaid Look Back?

February 26, 2014 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

The Medicaid program is relied upon by most senior citizens who are receiving long-term care in the United States. This is true even though Medicaid is a program that is thought of as being a safety net for people with virtually no financial resources. Many of the people who ultimately utilize Medicaid to pay for assisted living were qualified for Medicare coverage. They worked throughout their lives, they were never financially needy, and they had some retirement savings. … [Read more...] about What Is the Five Year Medicaid Look Back?
