So, Where Does Medicaid Come In?

For most people, Medicaid only becomes an option after Medicare benefits are exhausted. But what many people don’t realize is that Medicaid benefits are not automatic. In fact, to receive Medicaid, a patient and the patient’s spouse (if married) must first “spend down” their “countable” assets. That limit is down to $2,000 or $999.99 for a single patient in most states but gets more complex for married couples. In Ohio, the asset limit for a single person is $2,000. There also are categories of assets that will be automatically exempt for purposes of qualification.

It Sounds Pretty Easy, Right? Wrong!

Actually, things can get complicated quite quickly. What do I do to protect assets? What do I do to convert assets without getting in trouble? Do I apply before or after we start getting care (and bills)?

These are all valid questions, and rather than attempting to answer them on your own with everything else that is swirling around you, you should seek professional advice from a qualified attorney who practices in Medicaid planning, understands the Medicaid system, and can help you get organized for the future. If you qualify, Medicaid benefits can help pay for certain medical expenses such as:

  • Doctor and Hospital Bills
  • Prescriptions
  • Vision and Dental Care
  • Medicare Premiums
  • Nursing Home Care
  • Personal Care Services (PCS), Medical Equipment, and other Home Health Services
  • In-Home Care under the Community Alternatives Program (CAP)
  • Mental Health Care
  • The majority of medically necessary services for children under age 21
