The Medicaid Gap

Denied Medicaid Because of Your Savings? You're Not Alone.

Millions of seniors are caught between too much in savings to qualify for Medicaid long-term care coverage, and not enough to pay for years of professional care on their own. There is a structured path through that gap.

Why It Happens

The Medicaid Asset Limit
Catches Millions in the Middle.

Medicaid long-term care has a roughly $2,000 countable asset limit. Millions of seniors who saved responsibly are disqualified — too much for Medicaid, not enough to self-fund a lifetime of care.

The Structured Path

What a Properly Structured Plan Can Do

Here's what the compliant, well-established path looks like:
  • Reframe Your Assets
    When assets are deployed through a structured lifetime care program, many clients find their countable asset level meets Medicaid's requirements. We coordinate that process as part of the overall care plan.
  • Put Your Home to Work
    Your home — often owned free and clear — is your most powerful tool. A properly structured plan uses home equity to fund professional in-home care while you stay in your home and maintain Medicaid eligibility requirements.
  • Legal, Established, and Used by Millions
    Medicaid planning is legal, well-established, and used by millions of American families. Most people simply don't know the structured path exists — or that their home equity is the key to it.

Caught in the
Medicaid Gap?

The Medicaid asset limit catches millions of seniors who saved responsibly. If either of these situations describes you, you're in the right place.
The Medicaid Denial

Denied by Medicaid?

You applied for Medicaid and were told you have too many assets. Now you're paying out of pocket and watching your savings shrink.

That's the situation a properly structured plan was built for.

The Savings Concern

Savings Running Out?

Your parent has $200,000 in savings and a home they own. They need care, but Medicaid says no. You're doing the math and it doesn't work.

You're not out of options. You're out of options you know about.
