What is Medicaid Planning?

Medicaid planning is the development and implementation of a comprehensive strategy utilizing all applicable laws to reallocate, distribute and preserve assets in such a way that Medicaid will not take them into consideration when determining eligibility for coverage and benefits.  Should you or your spouse require long term nursing home care, you will then be financially able to qualify to have Medicaid pay for the cost of care.
