The bureaucracy of Medicare and Medicaid often creates an unnecessary roadblock to good medical care. The Elder Firm, LLC, takes charge of the frustrating red tape to ensure you receive the medical coverage you deserve. Through Medicare and Medicaid programs, you have a right to these medical essentials:

• Hospital services
• Diagnostic testing
• Treatments
• Nursing homes and in-home care
• Physical therapy
• Rehabilitation
• Hospice care

Attorneys helping you with Medicare coverage
You qualify for Medicare if you are over the age of 65 or suffer from certain types of disabilities. We can help you understand your rights and fight unjust denials of reasonable care. Armed with extensive experience with the Medicare system and appeals process, we assertively pursue all legal remedies if you are denied appropriate medical care under the program.

Attorneys protecting your rights under Medicaid
Paying for expensive medical care on a fixed income can financially drain families. If you qualify, Medicaid can defray the costs of obtaining quality healthcare. It can also make otherwise inaccessible healthcare available to you. Misinformation perpetuates unfortunate myths about the Medicaid program. Commonly, seniors incorrectly assume their financial means make them ineligible or that they have to spend-down their assets. At The Elder Firm, LLC, we give you the straight scoop about Medicaid: You do not have to be destitute to receive coverage. Our attorneys can help you:

• Develop a legal asset protection plan that does not jeopardize your financial independence
• Keep your home and many of your possessions
• Transfer property legally to family members without triggering an extensive waiting period
• Protect your spouse’s financial security
• Prevent nursing homes from illegally demanding private pay instead of Medicaid rates
