Long-Term Care Facilities
More than 40% of those over the age of 65 will need nursing home care, according to
the US Department of Health & Human Services. This rising need presents an
opportunity for your facility to experience a significant boost to your bottom line.
Offering our specialized services to potential new residents sets you apart from other
institutions and benefits existing residents, as well. You, the resident, and the family can
avoid the pitfalls of bureaucratic red tape common to the Medicaid eligibility and
Medicare appeals processes.
Our purpose in serving our clients is to work with the facility not against it. We make it
our mission to avoid care and debt disputes, not assist in the litigation them.
We help single or married residents and limit our provided services to handling of
Medicaid eligibility and Medicare appeals cases. As you know, these are complex
cases and require special expertise to avoid common adverse actions. The referral you
give to new admissions or current residents will build trust and reduce the reluctance
residents and family members often have in disclosing crucial financial information to
nursing home staff. MEDICURITY gives you the assurance of in-house specialists
having the most up-to-date knowledge of Medicaid eligibility and Medicare appeal laws.
Recent changes in laws regarding transfers of assets make it difficult for
unwitting elderly and disabled applicants to obtain eligibility without long
delays. As a result, nursing homes will be left holding the bag of uncollectible debt. By
referring new your admissions to our Medicaid Specialist, your facility can prevent this.
Upon interview, we can determine if any transfers of assets within the last FIVE YEARS
will adversely affect a Medicaid application in the near future. Then, we can consult
with the resident and family on a strategy to prevent a denial as a result of the transfer.
We are available to conduct monthly round-table discussions for your staff, residents,
and families at no cost.
