Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps pay for qualified long-term care services for eligible individuals. Eligibility depends on income and assets, as well as the care setting, and planning can help align finances with care goals.

Documents commonly needed include proof of income, asset statements, health care directives, powers of attorney, and information about current care arrangements. We help prepare and organize these for your Wisconsin Medicaid application.
