What Is Medi-Cal Planning?


Medi-Cal is California’s Medicaid program that helps low-income individuals, including seniors, pay for long-term care such, as nursing home costs. Without proper planning, many families are forced to spend down assets unnecessarily to qualify. We assist clients in structuring their finances and estates to become eligible for Medi-Cal benefits while preserving their hard-earned assets legally and ethically.

We work with clients to customize solutions that meet both eligibility requirements and personal goals. Our legal strategies help reduce or delay the burden of long-term care costs while maintaining control over important healthcare and financial decisions.
