Long-Term Care Options

Many families are concerned about the prohibitive cost of nursing homes for long-term care, especially since traditional health insurance does not cover these expenses. An MPL Law elder law attorney in York, PA, can provide reliable planning assistance to safeguard your assets and obtain Medicaid benefits sooner, giving you peace of mind.

How to Avoid Medicaid Provider Recovery Claims

Medicaid is a primarily federally funded program that provides health insurance coverage for individuals and families with limited financial resources. The Department of Human Services administers Medicaid benefits in Pennsylvania. When a Medicaid recipient (and the spouse, if married) passes away, the Department can file a claim against the decedent’s estate to recover the value of the paid benefits.

An attorney with elderly law experience can help you organize your assets to avoid recovery claims that can significantly reduce your estate and leave less for your heirs.
