Medicaid Planning and Medicaid Waivers

For many seniors in Indiana, the rising costs of long-term care and nursing homes are among their greatest concerns. Without a plan in place, these costs can quickly deplete life savings, force the liquidation of real estate and personal property, and create financial hardships for loved ones.

At The Law Office of Lisa A. Blackman, LLC, we specialize in Medicaid Planning and Medicaid Waivers to help you navigate these challenges. Our team is dedicated to creating a personalized plan that protects your assets, preserves your wealth, and ensures you or your loved ones receive the long-term care needed without unnecessary financial stress.

Medicaid is a joint federal and state health insurance program designed to help individuals and families with limited income cover medical and long-term care costs. In Indiana, Medicaid is a critical resource for seniors who need assistance paying for nursing home care or in-home healthcare services.

However, qualifying for Medicaid isn’t always straightforward, and improper planning can result in disqualification or penalties. This is where The Law Office of Lisa A. Blackman, LLC can help. Our Medicaid planning team understands the complex eligibility requirements and can help you maximize your benefits while protecting your assets.

Medicaid planning allows you to create a strategy for long-term care that secures your financial future. Here’s how our services can help:

• Protect Your Assets: Long-term care costs can drain your savings and force the sale of valuable assets. Medicaid planning ensures your wealth is preserved for you and your loved ones.
• Preserve Wealth for Your Family: Protect your legacy while still qualifying for Medicaid by using asset protection strategies tailored to your situation.
• Prevent Medicaid Denial: If you’ve been denied Medicaid in the past, our team can review your case and develop a plan to help you reapply successfully.

Medicaid eligibility is based on specific criteria, including income, assets, and residency requirements. To qualify in Indiana, you must:

• Meet income and asset limits set by the state.
• Be a resident of Indiana.
• Be a U.S. citizen or meet certain immigration status requirements.
• Meet age or disability qualifications for specific programs.

Eligibility requirements can be complex and change frequently. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, our team can evaluate your situation and guide you through the process.

Medicaid Waiver programs provide additional services for individuals who might otherwise need to live in a nursing home or institutional setting. These programs can help pay for in-home care, assisted living, or other long-term care services that allow individuals to remain in their homes or communities.

Our team can help you understand and apply for Medicaid Waivers, ensuring you receive the care you need while preserving your financial resources.
