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 with structuring financial and estate planning approaches to address Medi-Cal eligibility requirements in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
