What can a lawyer do about determining whether or not a person’s health is bad enough to qualify for Medicaid - Portland, Oregon.

May 28, 2010

We’ll talk about how Medicaid evaluates impairment and give you advice about how to support your case. We ask the same questions Medicaid will ask about how much help the person applying for Medicaid needs. Based on our experience, we can tell you whether or not it sounds like he is going to qualify.

If it sounds as if it is not a clear-cut case, we will offer some suggestions on how best to make your case. Once in a while, we might have you hire someone to do an independent assessment so that you can have a clear picture of whether it’s worth it to proceed. There is no point in spending a lot of effort on the financial side of things if the medical requirements can’t be met.

Determining Medicaid eligibility is often a difficult process. Meeting with an attorney is a good place to start - Contact the Elder Law lawyers at the Law Offices of Nay & Friedenberg in Portland, Oregon at (503) 245-0894 to set an appointment.
