The Medicaid Eligibility Specialists we work with have the unique ability to help people get on to Medicaid guidelines. They work with those over 65, or have been deemed disabled by the Social Security Administration. The Medicaid Eligibility Specialists we work with charge no fees, and work with Medicaid until you are approved.

Aaron G.
Aaron has M.S. and is 41, is in a wheelchair and has to go to the hospital monthly where his medical bills are $6,000 a month. His Medicare only cover 80% of each bill. Leaving him with a bill of $1,200 a month. His disability check is only $1,076, not enough to cover the bills, but at the same time, how is he supposed to pay for rent, food, utilities, medications. etc.? He is too young to get Medigap, and has only 2 options 1.) not go to the hospital and get the necessary medical help he needs, or 2.) purchase private insurance to make his income low enough for Medicaid and cover the 20% that Medicare doesn't cover. Aaron now has Medicaid, and Medicaid Waiver. |
Tom and Charles
When I first meet Charles, he told me about his best friend Tom who he lived with and had not only Alzheimer's but a hernia that needed emergency surgery. On top of that Charles going to work was a trigger that caused him to tear the house up. So going to work was needed to pay the bills, but a worrisome time. He is 62, and has been considered disabled by the Social Security Administration, and his 24 month waiting period for Medicare hasn't passed yet. Even if he had his Medicare and Medigap policy that you need to be 65 to have, it wouldn't cover the constant supervision that he needs. Charles tried for 2 years to be Tom's caregiver but couldn't get it nor the Medicaid. I was able to get it set up in 2 months. |
V.L. (allowed to do story but not whole name)
She was a 78 year old woman that had advanced arthritis that kept her confined to a wheel chair. She could not perform more than 3 A.D.L's (adult daily living activities). She already had Medicare and Medigap and was paying $480 a month for private in home care, but only for 4 hours a week. She had built up savings in her working years through a 401(k), that had become annuitized, and with her Social Security Check was originally denied Medicaid. As an added service, she only hired me for the spend down, I got her on Medicaid waiver got her 31 hours a week of care, saving her $250 a month, and I also got her a free Life Alert system. Sadly she passed away a year later, but I did what I could to make her final days better than those prior to me meeting her. |
