Please join Lamson & Cutner attorney David Cutner as he talks about why’s it best to consider Medicaid in New York in two parts. Community Medicaid pays for many different services for people who are living in their communities, whether at home or in an Assisted Living residence. Institutional Medicaid (Nursing Home Medicaid) pays for care in a nursing home. The rules regarding eligibility and income are very different for the two. Many don’t realize that they don’t have to spend all their money before they can become eligible for Medicaid. They also don’t understand that planning early can save them an enormous amount of money. Learn what is counted when determining eligibility, how income is treated in the two types of Medicaid, and more. We will explain what the “look back” is, and when it applies. Find out what Community Medicaid pays for, how Nursing Home Medicaid works, and how and when to think about planning for long-term care.
