Medicare, Medicaid and Other Public Benefits
We work hard to help you reduce the financial burden of the high cost of care by locating community agencies that offer assistance in a variety of areas and determining what government benefits may be available to your loved one and working with you to obtain those benefits – from application to qualification.
Medicare provides very limited coverage for skilled nursing facility care. Often services are denied initially by the facility or by Medicare but through vigorous advocacy we can often obtain up to the maximum 100 days of coverage.
Medicaid is the primary payor for long-term care, especially in a facility setting. There are strict income and resource limits for Medicaid coverage, as well as penalties for transferring wealth. However, there are ways that assets can be preserved for a community spouse, disabled child, or in other limited situations. We assist families with Medicaid planning, applications and appeals.
