Livingston County Medicaid Planning Attorney
Michigan Medicaid Qualification — Know Your Rights
Qualifying for Medicaid can mean the difference between having necessary medical care and having no medical care. Many elderly and disabled citizens could not afford essential nursing home care, in-home care or other essential medical care without the help of Medicaid. Other individuals are misinformed that they must pay out-of-pocket for these expenses until estate assets are depleted.
Our Livingston County Medicaid planning attorneys can help you understand how Medicaid laws apply to your situation, dispel common misconceptions and provide the sound legal guidance necessary to assist an elderly or disabled relative to qualify for Medicaid benefits.
Planning for the Future … Dealing with the Present
(866) 737-5007
Contact a Medicaid planning lawyer at the Nawrocki Center for Elder and Family Law. We have extensive experience helping clients qualify for Medicaid and preserve hard-earned assets.
Medicaid is a health care program that covers nursing home care, assisted living care, home health care and other essential medical care for eligible elderly individuals, disabled individuals and other individuals. While funded by both state and federal governments, Medicaid is operated by state governments. Therefore, it is important to understand the laws specific to your state.
Medicaid Planning ∙ Medicaid Applications ∙ Medicaid Appeals
Our Medicaid planning attorneys have comprehensive knowledge of Michigan Medicaid laws and use this knowledge to benefit clients — whether they are planning for future long-term care needs or are dealing with the financial constraints of a loved one's current health condition. Our services include:
- Medicaid Applications: Constantly evolving Medicaid laws, time-constraints posed by a loved one's urgent need for nursing home care or in-home care and notorious delays in processing Medicaid applications can make applying for Medicaid benefits overwhelming. At the Nawrocki Center, we help compile thorough Medicaid applications that comply with the current laws. This enables us to maximize your chances for success in qualifying for Medicaid benefits.
- Medicaid Asset Protection : Some assets can be exempted from the qualification requirements. Our Medicaid planning law firm has helped clients with asset protection by establishing personal care contracts, ladybird deeds, sole benefits trusts and irrevocable trusts. Special needs trusts can be established to fund certain expenses that cannot be met by Medicaid.
- Medicaid Appeals: If you have been denied Medicaid benefits, or if your Medicaid benefits have suddenly been terminated, you have a right to appeal the decision. However, you must act quickly to request a hearing or you will lose this right. Our attorneys at the Nawrocki Center have extensive experience representing Michigan clients who have received notification of Medicaid benefit denial or termination of benefits.
