Medicaid Planning & Eligibility
The federal and state laws governing South Carolina Medicaid eligibility and Medicaid benefits continue to change and are far more complicated than what most people anticipate. We help our clients design, develop and implement integrated legal and financial strategies that utilize Medicaid benefits to pay for long-term nursing home care while protecting assets and preserving their wealth.
Medicaid Planning, Eligibility & Benefits
Medicaid planning is the development and implementation of a comprehensive strategy utilizing all applicable laws to reallocate, distribute and preserve assets in such a way that Medicaid will not take them into consideration when determining eligibility for coverage and benefits.
Medicaid Asset Protection & Transfers
A lifetime of prudent financial planning and decisions can be quickly devastated by the unanticipated event of you or your loved one entering a nursing home or long-term care facility. Early Medicaid planning can assist families legally and financially protect their assets and transfer property.
Medicaid Asset & Income Rules
The South Carolina Medicaid program, Healthy Connections, along with the federal laws, provides individuals and their families with specific legal and financial requirements and regulations for Medicaid eligibility, assets and income treatment, transfers of assets and community spousal income.
