Let Us Take the Stress and Overwhelm Out of Paying for Nursing Home Care
Admitting your loved one to a nursing home can be stressful and overwhelming. While you want to focus solely on getting them the care they need, you’re pulled away to focus on the paperwork and bills involved. Caring for an aging loved one can start to feel like a full time job and end up being the worry that keeps you up at night. This is especially true when paying for nursing home fees becomes a concern. Sound familiar?
How to Pay for a Nursing Home When Money Runs Out
Did you get a nursing home bill that you’re not sure how you’re going to pay? If money has run out and bills are adding up, it may be time to check your loved one’s eligibility and submit a Medicaid application.
Nursing Home Medicaid Coverage can help pay for nursing home care when you reach the eligibility requirements.
How to Apply for Medicaid
The process of applying for Medicaid coverage is much more involved than most people think. Many people try to do it themselves. But, more than 50% of Medicaid applications for eligible individuals are denied because of failure to provide ALL the necessary documentation.
After receiving a denial, many people turn to their attorney and incur unnecessary expenses. Doing it yourself and contacting an attorney wastes time and money. We offer an affordable alternative to tackling this process yourself or hiring an attorney.
