Livingston County Attorney: Medicaid Eligibility

You May Qualify for Michigan Medicaid Benefits

There is an abundance of information available to families who are exploring long-term care options or health care options for an elderly or disabled loved one. A neighbor explains the reasons why he didn't qualify for Medicaid benefits, assuming the same will apply to your situation. The skilled nursing facility admissions personnel assert that your loved one will not be eligible for Medicaid and that your family will have to pay out-of-pocket for expenses. Even your own personal convictions may keep you from applying for benefits.

Livingston County attorney Nancy C. Nawrocki, at the Nawrocki Center for Elder & Family Law, can help you better understand Medicaid and assist you in the process of becoming eligible and applying for benefits.

Many people feel that Medicaid is only for people who have very little. Their pride keeps them from pursuing any financial option that includes "accepting" government assistance, including accepting Medicaid coverage. However, Medicaid is your entitlement. You have unconsciously paid into the Medicare and Medicaid systems for years.

Now, when your family is in need, it is important to understand the benefits that can provide necessary assistance and keep you from losing your home or other hard-earned assets in order to pay for health care. It is also important to forget everything you "know" or have been told about Medicaid and Medicaid eligibility.

Michigan Medicaid laws are unique from Medicaid laws in other states and the laws are constantly changing. You need to hire a lawyer with sophisticated knowledge and experience in the area of elder law and who stays abreast of the changes in Michigan Medicaid laws.
