We work with individuals and couples to determine how their assets and projected income will affect their eligibility for federal health care programs.

Medicaid and Medicare are both federal health care programs, but there are major differences between the two programs.

Medicare Basics: Applies to everyone who has paid into the system and reached the point of eligibility Purpose is to help elderly individuals with increasing medical bills but whose income is decreasing Recipients pay into Medicare through payroll or self-employment taxes Different “parts” pay for clinic, hospital and prescription drugs

Medicaid Basics: A federal program that is administered separately by each state Provides health care insurance for low-income people, who do not have the financial means to afford health care

While it is possible to qualify for both programs at the same time, each program has its own set of requirements. This means that just because you are enrolled in one program, you are not automatically enrolled in the other program.
