Placing a loved one in a nursing home or assisted living center can be emotionally draining. Financial limitations often add to the complexity of ensuring loved ones obtain proper care.

Differentiating Medicaid From Medicare
Medicaid and Medicare are designed to provide health care services for low-income individuals, senior citizens and individuals who are disabled. Qualifying for the government-funded benefits can be overwhelming. The sheer size of a Medicaid application could sometimes range between eight- to 12-inches thick of paperwork. A miscalculation or lack of paperwork could result in a denied claim.
At the Law Office of Roy A. List, we apply our years of experience and legal skills to help clients navigate through the legal process. Our firm's Nassau County Medicaid planning attorneys are committed to addressing our clients' concerns, while identifying how Medicaid differentiates from Medicare. Through Medicare, individuals have access to public health insurance which covers basic health care needs, such as doctor's visits. Generally, long-term custodial care needs are not covered through Medicare. The cost of living at a nursing home can add up to many thousands of dollars a month, generally beyond what Medicare will cover.
At the Law Office of Roy A. List, we are committed to helping clients plan ahead and cover their long-term health care needs through Medicaid. We work with clients to become eligible for Medicaid without unnecessarily spending down their assets to qualify. When you enlist our law firm, we are available to help you set up an asset transfer or a special needs trust to set aside the right amount of assets, so you can qualify for Medicaid.
