Our Medicaid Application Process

- Our Process
During our initial consultation, we guide Pennsylvania families through the Medicaid application process from the very first question. Many ask common questions, such as: “Does Medicaid pay for long-term care?” or “How long does the application process take?” Others might ask about the Medicaid five-year lookback, Medicaid estate recovery, or the Medicaid appeal process. We are here to answer all your questions and provide peace of mind.
As we move through the process, we determine whether you are Medicaid eligible. Oftentimes, we provide a spenddown strategy to achieve eligibility. We personalize our strategy with your objectives in mind. For example, keeping a property that has been in the family for generations might be a primary objective. Every family is different, and we take that into account.
We prepare the Medicaid application and oversee the review process on your behalf. The Medicaid application process is rarely simple. Families often face unexpected obstacles. These include a nursing home employee providing incomplete information, a financial institution delaying paperwork, or a caseworker raising unnecessary challenges. These delays can cost valuable time and create added stress during an already overwhelming period.
At Fieldstone Medicaid Planning, we are your advocate every step of the way. Our team communicates directly with nursing homes, financial institutions, and Medicaid offices to resolve issues quickly and effectively. We protect your interests, cut through the red tape, and ensure your application moves forward without unnecessary setbacks.
