What is Medicaid planning?

Medicaid planning is a type of elder law designed to help individuals and families access Medicaid benefits in Washington and other states. Medicaid is a government-funded program that provides health insurance and other vital services to individuals who meet certain qualifications. With Medicaid planning, an attorney can help you understand how your current financial situation, assets, and other factors will impact your ability to qualify for benefits. They can also work with you to create a plan to maximize your eligibility for Medicaid and access the benefits you need. Medicaid planning can also help you structure your estate to protect your assets and create a distribution plan for them after you pass away. It’s important to note that Medicaid planning does not involve any type of illegal activity or circumvent any governmental requirements. Ultimately, Medicaid planning exists to help people and their families access the benefits they need to remain healthy and live with dignity.
