Determining Medicaid Eligibility

Many people turn to Medicaid to help cover the cost of healthcare services administered by healthcare providers who accept these benefits. Notably, Medicaid also covers expenses accrued by those who enter nursing homes and certain assisted living facilities, which, as you know, can be very expensive. That said, to qualify for Medicaid, you will have to meet various criteria, which are rather stringent. Generally speaking, only those with few assets are eligible for coverage, however, with a competent Medicaid planning lawyer, you may be able to restructure (and keep) your assets while also qualifying for Medicaid.

Planning for Coverage

With the help of an attorney, there are several things you can do to receive coverage for Medicaid while also keeping your hard-earned assets. Just some of the ways in which you can restructure your assets to qualify for Medicaid can include:

  • Creating an Irrevocable Trust
  • Gifting assets to family members or loved ones
  • Transferring the title of your home to beneficiaries
  • Finding ways to productively spend your assets, such as by paying off debts, prepaying for funeral expenses, and more
