Do You Need NJ Medicaid Legal Assistance?
Some people can file a Medicaid application on their own. Others cannot or should not because of complications, whether legal or otherwise, of which they are not even aware, and would benefit from the help of a NJ Medicaid lawyer. I have prepared a test to determine whether professional assistance is needed to prepare and file a Medicaid Application in New Jersey. Read each question carefully and be as honest in your answers as possible.
- Have I identified the county and its location where the application must be filed?
- Am I familiar with all the documentation required to file a Medicaid Application?
- Do I know and understand the key Medicaid laws regarding financial eligibility and spend-down?
- Do I have sufficient documentation to prove that the spend-down in my case is proper?
- Am I familiar with NJ Medicaid law regarding gifting and asset transfers?
- Do I have sufficient documentation to demonstrate that the transfer of assets was properly and lawfully executed, without penalty?
- Do I have the 30-50+ hours estimated to be required for the preparation and filing of a Medicaid Application?
- If the New Jersey Medicaid eligibility worker asks questions, do I understand the process sufficiently to provide the answers without hurting the Medicaid Applicant or me?
- Do I know what a pre-admission Medicaid screening is and how it applies to my Medicaid application?
- If the Medicaid Application is rejected, am I familiar with the rules for filing a Fair Hearing appeal?
- If the Medicaid Application is neither rejected nor approved, am I familiar with my rights and the procedures to follow to obtain prompt action?
- Do I know how to deal with the nursing home or other facility while they are not being paid during the pendency of the Medicaid Application, and how much I must pay them each month until Medicaid is approved?
