 An Introduction to Medicaid Planning in Brooklyn 

Planning for long-term care is an important part of life, and the costs associated with long-term care can be high. Luckily, there are many options available to help you with those costs. Medicaid planning is one such option that can provide financial assistance for medical expenses related to long-term care. Here’s what you need to know about Medicaid planning in Brooklyn. 


What is Medicaid?



Medicaid is a health insurance program funded by both the federal government and individual states. It provides healthcare coverage for individuals and families who meet certain income and resource requirements. The program also covers certain services related to long-term care, such as nursing home stays or home health aides.
