At Medicaid Eligibility, we work with you to meet Florida’s Medicaid income eligibility requirements. We provide our clients with a legally viable, customized strategy designed to help you preserve your assets, rather than spend them down on costly Nursing Home expenses. Once the information is gathered, we make a formal recommendation and clear plans for restructuring assets to preserve them. Then, we complete the Medicaid application for you and submit for guaranteed approval.

Our initial meeting is usually a telephone conversation and at that time, we'll learn about you, your family and the family member applying for Medicaid. If needed however, we can meet with you face to face to review your family’s situation in greater detail at one of our offices located throughout the state.

By the conclusion of this call, you'll learn valuable information/facts about applying for Medicaid, and why your decision to consult Medicaid Eligibility was a sound one.

We'll also gather information regarding the applicant's finances to accurately assess the situation. Some of the information we will need to get and go over with you:

As part of Florida’s Medicaid income eligibility requirements, you must pass BOTH, an Income Test and an Asset Test, in order to become eligible for nursing home benefits.

While each state has different guidelines for Medicaid eligibility, Florida is known as an "Income Cap" state. The applicant's must calculate gross monthly income, not the net amount the applicant receives after taxes and/or Medicare Part B premiums are deducted. Only the applicant's income is counted; a well-spouse's income is not.

While each state implements Medicaid guidelines differently, Florida is known as an "Income Cap" state. This means that if an applicant's gross income exceeds $1,869 per month, they would not pass the income test, nor qualify for Medicaid. However, since 1993, there is now a way to qualify even if the gross income exceeds the cap.
