Is There a Difference Between Medicare & Medicaid?

While both Medicaid and Medicare provide healthcare assistance to eligible individuals, the two programs are operated and funded by separate parts of the government and serve different groups of people:

  • Medicare: Provides health coverage to people 65 and older or under 65 with a disability, regardless of income
  • Medicaid: Provides long-term medical coverage for low-income individuals

If you qualify for Medicare and Medicaid, then you can take advantage of both programs to increase your level of health coverage and lower your costs.

What Does Medicaid Cover?

The Massachusetts Medicaid program covers various services. Children and adults alike can receive annual well-check exams and other services.

Medicaid generally covers the following:

  • Medical, support, and prescription costs of long-term nursing home care
  • Community-based alternatives to nursing home care
  • Nursing services
  • Personal assistance services
  • Adaptive aids
  • Medical supplies
  • Assisted living
  • Minor home modifications
  • Respite care

Why Do I Need a Medicaid Lawyer?

Although you can try to complete the Medicaid application on your own, the entire process can be very complicated and requires specific documentation to support your claims. If you fail to correctly fill out the application, you can end up losing out on valuable benefits and will have wasted a significant amount of time. Our legal team at Marsden Law P.C. is here to devise a compressive plan so you can quickly apply for Medicaid and avoid any penalties.

    “I highly recommend Marsden Law for anyone dealing with the financial (and emotional) needs of caring for an elder parent.”

    My family and I are just starting the Medicaid application process for our Mom, who is now on Long Term Care. Marsden Law is handling all of this for us. After our first meeting with Jay, we went away with a much clearer understanding of how we need to proceed to take care of all of our Mom’s future financial needs. Jay took the time to explain everything in great detail and made it easy for us to understand what we need to do going forward. Applying for Medicaid is an overwhelming process, to say the least, and we have the utmost confidence in Jay and his team, that they will be there for us, through the entire process. I highly recommend Marsden Law for anyone dealing with the financial (and emotional) needs of caring for an elder parent.
