The placing of a loved one in a Nursing Home is one of the most traumatic events in our lives. A nursing home decision is just one of the many challenges faced when loved ones health deteriorates. While they are still able to conduct their affairs a plan needs to be in place to transfer the handling of financial and healthcare matters to another person, usually a spouse or child.

Asset Protection

Early planning for Medicaid can save substantial family assets. Our office uses the latest and many little known legal means to protect the family’s assets. If your loved ones consult with us and follow our recommendations many times substantial assets can be saved. It cost very little to find out if your situation is one in which we may be able to help.  

Medicaid Applications

When applying for Medicaid, the application for benefits with the Division of Medicaid in the County of residence of the applicant. For example, a residence of Rankin County makes application with the Division of Medicaid in Rankin County. Our office will insure the application is made in the correct office.

The Elder Law Firm will meet with the family, assess the situation and if Medicaid benefits are available will advise of the documents needed, make the application for you and follow the process through until a decision is made. Sometimes supplemental documents may be needed. We know and anticipate the documents needed for approval and provide them with the initial application. 

Medicaid Appeals

After an application is submitted, Division of Medicaid will make a decision to Approve or Deny the application. If an application is denied, the applicant has a right to appeal first within the local Medicaid office and then to the State office in Jackson. This is called a Fair Hearing and our office will help through this process.
