What Is Medi-Cal Planning?
Protecting Assets While Qualifying for Long-Term Care Benefits
Medi-Cal Planning is a legal process used to help seniors qualify for Medi-Cal benefits that can pay for long-term care services, including nursing home care.
With the right legal strategy, it may be possible to:
• Protect your family home
• Preserve savings and investments
• Qualify for Medi-Cal benefits sooner
• Avoid unnecessary financial loss
Many families mistakenly believe they must spend all of their savings before qualifying for Medi-Cal. In many cases, this is not true when proper planning is in place.
