Medicaid Planning

Medicaid planning is an important aspect of the estate planning process. As you age, the way you approach your finances and medical care will change. For example, you may come to find that you qualify for government benefits, such as Medicaid.

Not only can these assistance programs save you money, but they’ll also ensure that you receive high-quality healthcare. 

As a Maryland resident, it is critical to understand the Medicaid program. As you learn more, you’ll find that planning in advance is of utmost importance. Medicaid planning can be crucial to protecting your future and planning for unforeseen events.

What is Medicaid and Medicaid Planning?

The official government website for Medicaid defines the program as follows:

Medicaid provides health coverage to millions of Americans, including eligible low-income adults, children, pregnant women, elderly adults and people with disabilities. Medicaid is administered by states, according to federal requirements. The program is funded jointly by states and the federal government.

Here’s the one thing you should always remember: you need to plan for Medicaid before you seek benefits through this program. If you don’t, you may find that you’re not eligible. 

Medicaid planning strategies are available, such as “spending down” as a way to improve your chances of qualifying. 

There is no shortage of challenges when applying for Medicaid. From the application itself to the impact of your finances on your eligibility, it’s imperative to plan in advance. We want to make sure that you and your family members are best prepared to secure everything you have worked hard for so that it doesn’t negatively impact your estate planning.

If you’re interested in Medicaid planning, contact us for guidance. We’ll help you implement a strategy that saves you time and money, all while positioning you to receive benefits in the future.  Our team can help you navigate the tough aspects so you can make decisions now before it becomes an emergency situation.
