WE OFFER DISCOUNTED AND FREE SERVICES SERVING ALL OF CALIFORNIA!

     Free Long-Term Care Financial Counseling!!—One hour free telephone consultation.  We will match YOUR care

         You will know what programs are available and what is and is not available for your specific situation.

     Free Resource and Referral Information!!

     Discounted Medi-Cal Qualification & Maintenance!!

 

Why do you need our help to qualify for Medi-Cal?

           

1.       A “Medi-Cal Worker” will interview you, provide you with forms, and provide a list of documents to submit, but will usually not help you position your assets properly to qualify.

2.       The Medi-Cal process is complicated.  Many people, especially seniors who are caring for an ill spouse, find the process too consuming and give up before completing the process.

3.       A Medi-Cal decision can take up to 45 days.  If a decision to deny is made after two months have passed, there is no way to go back and properly position assets for approval in those months, leaving you liable for medical costs. 

4.       If the Medi-Cal Worker denies a case in error, will you know enough to effectively argue your case to the worker and/or in a Fair Hearing?

5.       If your assets exceed Medi-Cal limits or your assets are not properly positioned, we will provide options for qualification that comply with current Medi-Cal rules. 

The Light for Seniors, Inc. works with agencies and professionals in the health care, tax, legal, and senior fields to enable us to fully serve the needs of our senior and disabled clients.We provide answers to your Long-Term Care financial questions, helping you find the right care for yourself and your loved ones.
