Beat the Clock: Medicaid Rules are Changing!

The window of opportunity is closing soon for New York residents to take advantage of generous Medicaid home care benefits.

On October 1, sweeping changes take effect that will severely limit access and eligibility to home care, due to a new 30-month lookback period for asset transfers plus altered standards for medical qualification.

 In this Life Happens podcast, elder law attorneys Louis Pierro and Frank Hemming III bring you up-to-date information on the scheduled phase-in of the rules from the NYS Legislature and Department of Health, and the ramifications for both patients, their families and service providers.

 If you or someone you love needs long-term care in the home now or in the future, you’ll want to get the facts — and learn about proactive steps you can take to beat the clock.
