MaineCare Planning and Applications

Medicaid provides health care coverage to those who meet the financial criteria. For some Medicaid programs, there are also medical criteria. Medicaid is called MaineCare in the State of Maine.

MaineCare Planning

At Maine Elder Law Firm, we use legitimate long-term care planning / asset protection strategies to help qualify hundreds of individuals for MaineCare long-term care benefits which pay for nursing home care, care in assisted living / residential care settings, and nursing services in the home.

MaineCare Applications and Appeals

The rules regarding eligibility for medical assistance are complex, as are the rules regarding the five-year lookback, the transfer penalty, and Medicaid estate recovery. In addition, the process of filing a MaineCare application can be tedious, intimidating and overwhelming.

Maine Elder Law Firm represents individuals before the Department of Health and Human Services. The firm prepares and files applications on behalf of applicants. In the event that an application is denied, Maine Elder Law Firm represents clients on appeals of those denials.
