Cleveland, Ohio, Planning Qualification Lawyer

Medicaid offers medical care assistance to those who cannot otherwise afford it; whether you are entitled to Medicaid is based solely on need. Need is determined based on any available income, assets and property. Some people run into problems with Medicaid eligibility because they share ownership in highly valued property, such as the home they currently share with their spouse. It is important to work with an experienced Medicaid planning attorney before you apply for Medicaid or transfer assets — you may be able to preserve the majority of your assets and still qualify.

After reviewing your assets and determining which resources will be considered a "countable" resource, in addition to any exemptions for which you may qualify, we will advise on whether you should gift or transfer assets to protect Medicaid eligibility. Beyond planning for eligibility, it is also our goal to preserve as many assets as possible for the non-institutionalized spouse.

The rules applicable to applying for Medicaid benefits and appealing denial of benefits are constantly changing. It is crucial to have the assistance of an attorney who is experienced in navigating these changes, to ensure that your application is complete and takes account of the most recent relevant federal guidelines and standards. Michael Cretella is knowledgeable and experienced in handling all aspects of Medicaid planning, including assisting with the application, representing you at the initial hearing and filing appeals, if necessary.
