Medi-Cal Planning

Medi-Cal, in California, or Medicaid in other states, is a benefit that pays for Long-term Nursing Medical Care in nursing homes. If a loved one is placed in a nursing home for more than 20 to 100 days, it may be absolutely necessary to qualify for Medi-Cal benefits. In some cases people will spend nearly every penny in their estate. There are important protections available to prevent a well spouse from becoming impoverished. In many cases, life savings can be preserved and protected from aggressive estate recovery. Careful planning can preserve hard-earned assets and protect spouses and children.

Costs for long-term care in a nursing home can exceed $8,000 per month. You can plan ahead to receive Medi-Cal benefits. Since there are particular eligibility requirements and a lengthy application process required to qualify for this program, we can help determine your eligibility and assist with the entire application process.
