Medicare v. Medicaid Planning: Know the Difference

It will be hard to avoid seeing a deluge of new advertisements for Medicare Advantage: insurers began marketing their plan offerings on October 1, 2019. Consumers now have a few weeks to evaluate what coverage they need and upcoming changes that may affect them. October 15 marks the start of the annual “open enrollment period,” which runs through December 7.

The options can be confusing, not to mention the differences between Medicare and Medicaid: federal programs with complex rules. On this LHR podcast attorneys Lou Pierro and Frank Hemming boil it down to the basics so you know both the benefits and limitations of these programs.

Lou and Frank describe real-life client stories to show how people can get the maximum coverage with the important understanding that Medicaid is the only program that addresses long-term care.
