Basic Facts about Medicare and Medicaid Benefit Eligibility
Medicare is a federal program providing health insurance benefits to people disabled, over age 65, or with kidney failure or long-term kidney diseases. It does not cover long-term care, so it is important to make additional plans for these costs.
Medicaid is a federal and state program that covers the medical costs of low-income individuals, including:
- Low-income pregnant women, children and parents of children who are eligible
- Blind, disabled and elderly people, or people otherwise in need of nursing home care and who qualify financially
Medicaid covers long-term care, in addition to other services not covered by Medicare. Some costs, however, may remain uncovered. Mr. Sarner will assist you determining what is and is not covered by Medicare and Medicaid and help you plan for uncovered services.
Most people assume that they will never need Medicaid or Medicare, and many never do. Unfortunately, one serious illness can make these programs indispensable to covering your health care costs. Mr. Sarner, an experienced and skilled estate planning attorney, can assist you in using legal instruments such as special-needs trusts and revocable or irrevocable trusts to protect your assets and remain eligible for assistance from these programs.
