The State of California’s Medicaid program is known as Medi-Cal.  This program is one of the primary sources of health care assistance for Seniors and will pay for skilled nursing and long-term nursing home care, however, there are strict Medi-Cal eligibility requirements that must first be met.  For most people it can be difficult to understand how to meet these complicated requirements.

How to Qualify for Med-Cal

Income limits are a major determining factor in the approval process for a Medi-Cal applicant.  Each year many people who apply for Medi-Cal benefits are denied as a result of their income or assets exceeding the allowable limits. The State will impose a “waiting period” upon the applicant until they “spend down” their assets to a level that will meet the eligibility requirements. If the applicant did not plan ahead, they will be forced to pay out-of-pocket until their remaining assets are low enough to qualify for Medi-Cal. The expert Medi-Cal Planning Attorneys at Elder Law Services have the experience to get anyone qualified for Medi-Cal.  Elder Law Services attorneys will advise their clients on how to protect their assets, including the family home, while quickly qualifying for the Medi-Cal benefits they need.
