FAQS

What is Medicaid Planning?

Medicaid Planning involves legally structuring your assets and income to help you qualify for Medicaid assistance, while protecting as much of your wealth as possible. It ensures that you or your loved one can afford quality long-term care without depleting your life savings.

Why should I consider Medicaid Planning?

Long-term care costs in Kansas average nearly $8,000 per month. Without proper planning, many families are forced to spend down everything before qualifying for Medicaid. Medicaid Planning helps you legally protect your home, savings, and assets while securing benefits for needed care.

When should I start Medicaid Planning?

Ideally, Medicaid Planning should begin before you need long-term care, but we can help even during a crisis. The sooner you start, the more options you’ll have to protect assets and qualify for care without penalties.

Can I just give my assets away to qualify for Medicaid?

No. Giving away assets without proper planning can trigger a Medicaid penalty period, delaying your eligibility. Medicaid has a strict five-year look-back period on gifts and asset transfers. Strategic planning with an experienced attorney is essential to avoid disqualification.

Will Medicaid take my home?

In some cases, yes—especially after the Medicaid recipient passes away. However, with the right planning, your home can often be protected from Medicaid estate recovery. Techniques like properly structured trusts or spousal protections can safeguard your property.

What does Medicaid cover that Medicare doesn’t?

Medicare provides very limited long-term care coverage, usually only short-term rehabilitation. Medicaid, on the other hand, covers:

- Long-term nursing home care

- Memory care services

- Personal assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs)

- Some in-home care and assisted living services (depending on the state)

What assets are exempt when applying for Medicaid?

Some assets are exempt, including:

- Your primary residence (up to a certain equity limit)

- One vehicle

- Personal belongings and household goods

- Certain types of prepaid funeral plans

- Limited cash reserves

Strategic planning can help protect more of your non-exempt assets legally.

Can my spouse keep any assets if I qualify for Medicaid?

Yes. Under Medicaid rules, the healthy spouse (Community Spouse) is entitled to keep a portion of the couple’s assets and income. Strategic planning can maximize the amount protected for the well spouse without jeopardizing Medicaid eligibility.

What happens if I apply for Medicaid without a plan?

Without a plan, you risk:

- Being forced to spend down your life savings

- Facing long delays or denials in coverage

- Leaving your spouse financially vulnerable

- Losing your home to estate recovery after death

Working with an experienced Medicaid Planning attorney ensures you avoid these devastating outcomes.
