The Biggest Mistake Families Make
Filing for Medicaid without understanding the rules—then facing denials, penalties, or losing assets that could have been legally protected.
Denials Are Common
Most Medicaid applications get denied on the first attempt. Mistakes in your financial history—even innocent ones—can trigger a rejection.
Transfer Penalties
Florida reviews 5 years of financial history. Transfers made without fair consideration can result in penalty periods that leave families paying out-of-pocket.
Assets at Risk
Families often don't realize that Medicaid provides special protections—especially for married couples—that can preserve significant assets, including your home.
The Process Is Grueling
Medicaid has been called the most complicated benefit program in the country. Applications can take months and require extensive documentation.
What Most People Get Wrong
You may have heard that the five‑year Medicaid "lookback" means any transfer you made is automatically a problem. That's not true.
Myth: "Any money I gave away in 5 years disqualifies me."
Reality: Not all transfers create penalties. Many have legitimate explanations, and an experienced review can identify which ones are—and aren't—a problem.
Myth: "I have to spend everything before I can qualify."
Reality: Medicaid has special protections, especially for married couples. A spouse can often keep significant assets—including the home—through proper planning.
Myth: "The nursing home will handle my application for free."
Reality: Facilities often just collect documents and submit them. They typically don't identify opportunities to protect assets or flag issues before they become denials.
