Will Medicaid take everything you own? Does giving away money automatically disqualify you from benefits? And is it too late to protect your assets if you or a loved one is already in a nursing home? When it comes to Medicaid and paying for long-term care, misinformation can lead to costly mistakes. In this episode of Aging Starts Now, Johnson McGinnis Outreach Coordinator Dana Hentschel sits down with Associate Attorney Ryan Hicks to separate fact from fiction about Medicaid planning and Tennessee's TennCare CHOICES program. Together, they tackle some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding the five-year look-back rule, including: - What Medicaid actually looks for during the five-year look-back period. - Why giving away money or property can create unexpected penalties. - Whether certain gifts or transfers are allowed without penalties. - How Medicaid protects a spouse who remains at home. - Why having a trust doesn't automatically protect your assets. - What options may still be available when someone is already receiving nursing home care. The biggest takeaway? It's never too early to plan, and it may not be too late to explore your options. Before making major financial decisions based on something you've heard about Medicaid, get the facts. Understanding the rules and working with an experienced elder law attorney can help families avoid expensive mistakes and make informed decisions about long-term care. Aging Starts Now is brought to you by Johnson McGinnis Elder Care Law & Estate Planning, helping families navigate the legal, financial, and personal challenges of aging.
