Medicaid eligibility is not easy to understand whatsoever. For this reason, Medicaid planning is vital, and the attorneys here at Millman Law Group can help you plan for the future. The rules of Medicaid change often, and there are strict income and asset limitations. If you’re a senior who needs long-term care, Medicaid can help you alleviate your expenses or a loved one’s expenses. The Statement Medicaid Managed Care Long Term Care program (SMM LTC) deployed in Florida in 2013 to help seniors who need long-term care receive assistance in their home, their communities, and assisted living.

Is Medicaid Planning Necessary, and How Do I Know When I Need It?
You may be wondering if hiring a planner is necessary. Free assistance programs do exist, but not everyone qualifies for receiving free assistance. Opting for a Medicaid planner is strongly advised because the consequences of being denied Medicaid can negatively impact the individual, especially in terms of their comfort and health.
Consider hiring a Medicaid planner if both you or your spouse require care or if one of you is healthy but decides to move out of the home. The reason being is that one spouse does need to stay in the family home to ensure protection from Medicaid asset repossession.
