Michigan Medicaid Attorney Advocates for Your Eligibility

Committed lawyer helps Bloomfield Hills clients get medical care

Unlike Medicare, which is an insurance program, Medicaid is an assistance program. Administered by state and local governments under federal guidelines, Medicaid provides tax dollars to assist low income people of every age with their medical bills. While Medicaid has stringent requirements for eligibility, those rules have a plethora of exceptions. Individuals facing long-term nursing home stays may use exceptions in the law to receive government assistance without forfeiting their homes, their community property or other estate assets. At Borkowski Law, I help clients in the Bloomfield Hills area and throughout Michigan utilize legal exceptions to qualify for Medicaid benefits.

Determined attorney advocates for your eligibility while protecting your assets

I can help ensure that you or a family member can receive crucial extended care without bankrupting a spouse or the rest of the family. I thoroughly review your finances, then develop an asset protection plan that won’t threaten your financial independence. The protections our plans offer ensure that you can:

  • Retain ownership of your home
  • Legally transfer property without incurring transfer penalties
  • Protect your spouse’s financial security
  • Get your nursing home to accept Medicaid rates
