If Medicaid has been denied, you're being told to "spend everything down," or a nursing home is demanding private pay — you may have more options than you think. But every week of delay closes doors.
Warning: Medicaid look-back rules mean waiting can permanently eliminate your options.
These are crisis situations where legal options exist — but only if you move quickly.
