Is the Medicaid application process difficult?
The Medicaid application process can be time consuming and complex. You may be required to produce from three to five years (known as the look-back period) of financial records for the applicant and his spouse, as well as numerous personal papers. The applicant or his representative is also obligated to verify and explain all financial transactions during the look-back period, including gifts and transfers. Failure to do so can result in a denial of the application or a loss of resources. It is important that you have proper advice at every step of the process.
