Please complete our online client Intake Questionnaire as soon as possible. It will provide your Specialist with the necessary details to start planning for your loved one’s case.
Please plan approximately 20-45 minutes to complete the questionnaire. You may need additional time to gather documents.

The look back period is Medicaid?s way of deciding if the applicant gave away assets to become eligible
PRE-APPLICATION
After eligibility is finalized, we will complete the Medicaid application and send it to the appropriate agency. The date of submission depends on various considerations:
During the pre-application stage your Specialist will carefully review the case and give you an estimated submission date.
Throughout all stages, we will continually give you status reports. You will always know exactly what is happening and when.
In general, the application will only be submitted when the individual applying is financially and functionally eligible for the benefit.
There are some exceptions and your Specialist will inform you of all options.
DURING APPLICATION
In general, you will not need to communicate with Medicaid. Your Specialist will be authorized to communicate with the state or county agency.
There are situations that require a family member to work with a 3rd party organization ? this is common with Medicaid waiver programs for home care. If this is needed, we?ll guide you through the process.
We also ask that you please check with your Eldercare Resource Planning Specialist before taking any direct action with your state or county Medicaid agency during the application process.
POST-APPLICATION
After the application is submitted, we will contact the agency to ensure that the application was received and is being processed in a timely manner. Your Specialist will work with the caseworker and submit any additional verification materials that may be requested.
For assisted living or homecare cases, we will facilitate the enrollment process, which usually requires a level of care assessment and may require referrals to 3rd party agencies.
Please note that your second payment will be due at the time of submission.
The date of an approval depends on several factors:
After your case is thoroughly reviewed, your Specialist will give you an estimate of approval time.
If you are approved ? Your Specialist will review the decision letter ensure that the benefit has been calculated correctly. If we find a discrepancy, we will follow up with the caseworker for a recalculation of the benefit.
If you are denied ? It is not uncommon to receive an initial denial. Reasons for a denial include: denial notice that is not related to the long-term care benefit, such as a denial for a health savings program; an expected denial due to a spend down strategy, penalty period; or the Medicaid agency has made an error. We will carefully review any denials and take steps to reopen the case.
Annual Redetermination ? Once approved, benefits do not automatically renew each year, therefore redetermination paperwork must be submitted annually to Medicaid. Your Specialist will discuss this with you upon approval and will confirm the annual renewal date.
Eldercare Resource Planning offers an additional service to assist with the annual renewal process. If interested please reach out to your Specialist when you receive the annual renewal / redetermination paperwork from Medicaid
