Long-Term Care from Medicaid

If you are in need of in-home care, Medicaid may cover the costs of your long-term care. At Ultra Care Family Wellness, we understand that the process to sign up for a long-term care plan from Medicaid can be confusing. All the information and requirements can be a bit overwhelming and we want to make sure that you are able to take advantage of all of the benefits you are entitled to. 

If you are having difficulty enrolling in Medicaid or choosing a plan that will cover your long-term care, we can help. At Ultra Care Family Wellness, we are here to guide you through the whole process so that you can receive the care you deserve while remaining in your own home. We’ll answer a few common questions below but please feel free to reach out for any additional information or assistance. 

Does Medicare Cover Long-Term Care?

In most cases, Medicare does not cover long-term care. While there are some exceptions, Medicare typically covers doctor visits, prescription medications, and hospital stays. If you are over the age of 65 or are receiving social security benefits, you are eligible for Medicare.  

Am I Eligible for Long-Term Care from Medicaid?

In order to be eligible for Medicaid, you must live in a household that is considered low income. You must also reside in the state of New York, be in need of health care assistance, and be a U.S. national, citizen, or have satisfactory immigration status. If you meet these requirements, you may be eligible for a Medicaid plan that will cover the cost of your in-home care. At Ultra Care Family Wellness, we can help you determine your eligibility and assist you in enrollment. 

How Do I Choose a Long-Term Care Plan?

New York State Medicare offers three plan choices for Managed long-term Care. Their options included the MLTC Medicaid Plan, the Medicaid Advantage Plus Plan, and the Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). You can find more information about these plans, how to apply, and how they work from the NY Department of Health. Our professional, experienced staff at Ultra Care Family Wellness would also be happy to help.
