At Woodford Medicaid, our specialization lies in assisting with the application process for Mass Health long-term care benefits. We cater to families, individuals, and married couples, ensuring that their loved ones receive the necessary coverage for nursing home care. Our approach involves a five-step process meticulously designed to secure approval for our clients.
The Process
1
Free Consultation
During our initial meeting, we will assess the applicant's financial situation, devise a spend-down plan if necessary, and thoroughly review the Mass Health application process together. We will discuss what other documents may be needed, and more.
2
Submitting the Application
After the application is completed and signed Woodford Medicaid organizes all required documents for submission to Mass Health. Our experienced team ensures accuracy and completeness before submitting the package.
3
Information Request
Once we apply for Mass Health, a caseworker will be assigned to your case and request additional information based on your submission. We'll then review the requested documents with you before responding to the caseworker.
4
Spend Down
If a spend down is needed to meet the asset limit, we'll help you navigate the process according to Mass Health regulations, including purchasing a pre-need funeral contract.
5
Approval
After meeting all Mass Health requests, approval is issued. We'll review it with the nursing home or elder services office for their satisfaction. The process usually takes 3-6 months.
