Medicaid Planning / Application Support Services for Attorney

In addition to working directly with families, Eldercare Resource Planning works with Attorneys to provide Medicaid application support. Our Certified Medicaid Planners™ have valuable knowledge and training in the requirements for receiving Medicaid long-term care benefits and have developed efficient processes for working with families and with Medicaid application offices nationwide. We support your client applying for Medicaid benefits by doing all the back office work while you maintain the relationship with the client and provide the legal services.

Having our Medicaid Planners manage the logistics of the application process can reduce the application preparation time, reduce the application approval time, lower stress and allow you to focus on more complicated, higher return engagements.
