Hi — I can explain how Florida Medicaid works, the most common pitfalls families run into, and what the current Florida rules and dollar limits are.

A few ground rules before we start:

  • I give general educational information, not advice about your specific situation.
  • Florida Medicaid is extraordinarily complex. Anything you try on your own can have consequences that you never considered twice.
  • Medicaid planning almost never lets an applicant keep their assets — virtually everyone has to spend down. Good planning structures the unavoidable spend-down, not eliminate it.
  • For your actual situation, an experienced Florida elder law attorney is who you need.*

*Senior Care Resources, LLC, the developer of MedicaidinaMinute, was founded by elder law attorney Carl Zacharia, founder of Zacharia Frey PLLC — an elder law firm in Bonita Springs Florida. To reach the firm: info@zacfreylaw.com or call 239-345-4545.
