Medi-Cal Planning
Medi-Cal Planning - a specialty of San Diego Elder Law Center
Medi-Cal is the name of California's Medicaid program. Medicaid is a combined federal and state health insurance program for low income families or individuals, the elderly, the disabled or families enrolled in AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children).
For the elderly and disabled, Medi-Cal can pay for hospital and doctor's bills, prescription drugs, medical equipment and supplies, home health assistance, nursing home care, adult day care, medically related transportation and many other services or items. It usually pays 100% of these costs but may require a co-payment.
We at San Diego Elder Law Center help Senior Citizens in matters of Medi-Cal planning, conservatorship, estate planning, disabilities, special needs trusts, power of attorney, probate, and more.

Elder Law is the area of the law which impacts the lives of older Americans and their families. Elder law addresses elder care planning issues, including access to appropriate medical and personal care, coordinating private and public resources to finance the cost of care, income assistance benefits, taxation, conservatorship, general estate planning, estate and trust administration issues (e.g. wills, trusts, and probate), counseling and planning for incapacity with medical directives and other alternative decision making documents, as well as for possible long-term care planning concerns, such as home health care, nursing home care, and hospice care.
