Long Term Care Planning & Medicaid

Medicaid is a joint state and federally funded program that was established by the Social Security Act in 1965. Although it sounds similar, it is separate from the Medicare program. Medicaid and Medicare have separate and very different criteria. The intent of the Medicaid program is to provide assistance to persons who qualify based on financial and medical needs. It is a welfare program and eligibility is determined by a means test.
