Medicare and Medicaid
Medicare is a health insurance program that covers most people over age 65 and the disabled. Almost all of the elderly population in the United States receives Medicare benefits. Medicaid is a federal and state program that pays medical expenses for people who cannot pay on their own. Many people never need Medicaid; however, a catastrophic or long-term illness can make Medicaid essential.
Why Plan?
You are in a position to do your family a great service by learning about your care options before you need them. In many instances, you will be able to preserve your assets for future generations. In others, you will be able to receive the full care that you will need without bankrupting yourself or your loved ones.
Medicare covers short-term skilled nursing needs in the home or in a skilled nursing facility. It does not cover long-term care, whether in the home or in a facility. Mr. Reig can explain what is included in Medicare and help you plan for those services that are not covered.
To be eligible for Medicaid, a person needs to meet specific financial criteria. Attorney Reig can explain the requirements and help you learn how you may be able to protect your assets, especially your home, and your retirement plans, and still be eligible for Medicaid benefits that can cover some forms of long-term care.
Preserve Your Assets, Protect Your Family
A consultation with attorney Reig about Medicare and Medicaid will include an evaluation of your financial situation. He will explain estate planning tools, such as special needs trusts, that can help protect assets for the next generation. He will discuss the limits and restrictions that apply in both programs.
