Our Purpose

 Our course, Pathway to Medicaid Approval, is meant to educate professionals with a better understanding of long-term care Medicaid eligibility. Proper Medicaid planning can help mitigate the problem of unpaid accounts and smooth the transition from private pay to Medicaid.

Topics Include: 

• Tools to communicate and explain LTC Medicaid eligibility
• What Medicaid planning is and why it makes sense
• Qualification requirements and early detection of eligibility problems
• How to solve common eligibility problems before an application is denied
• Preparing residents for the transition from private pay to Medicaid
• Special protections and exemptions for those who are married

For those who would like support during the application process, we can provide representation and advocacy throughout both preparation and engagement phases:  

• File construction and supporting documents 
• Application and ancillary form completion and submission 
• Communication on your behalf with the assigned state caseworker 
• Audit of approval / certification and filling of appeal if necessary 
• Final consultation for approval / certification review, eligibility maintenance, and annual redetermination requirements 

Although most long-term care providers who accept Medicaid have a good working knowledge of Medicaid eligibility requirements, many are not aware of some options that are available to preserve assets. We bring a unique perspective that allow clients to have financial peace of mind while also getting long-term benefits.
