MEDICAID PLANNING

Why you Need Help Navigating through Medicaid Regulations 

​

While Medicaid is a federal program, the state you live in heavily drives the program rules and regulations and those affecting Medicaid are particularly complex. For example, you can retain assets and income and still qualify for Medicaid, though this process is stringently regulated. Since 2020 in particular, New York State and its Medicaid Redesign Team have proposed and in some cases implemented major changes. 

​

Deepankar will help you consider these and other aspects of Medicaid Planning. 

​

  • Funding Medicaid, through the transfer of assets into an Asset Protection Trust, enrollment in a Pooled Income trust, execution of a promissory note, or use of spousal planning. 

​

  • Types of Medicaid - Deepankar will explain the differences between Home Care Medicaid and Nursing Home Care

​

  • Personal Services Agreements - These allow another family member to get paid for care, while assets are transferred for Medicaid eligibility. 

​

  • Medicaid Applications - Deepankar can assist you with the sometimes complex process of submitting a Medicaid application, including ensuring that ALL required financial documents are in hand.
