Dutton & Casey, P.C. has over 50 years of combined experience in filing Medicaid applications for its clients. We tailor our asset protection strategies to your specific situation, keeping in mind the preservation of your family’s assets, the prevention of spousal impoverishment, and how to best approach each of these circumstances in order to complete a Medicaid application that has the best chance of success. Our Medicaid application services include:
We will prepare and file the application materials and forms, monitor the application's progress through the system, and will work with the assigned caseworkers in any capacity necessary - such as responding to questions, faxing materials and regularly checking on the application status, as well as advocating the most advantageous position and policy interpretations for our clients.
Dutton & Casey, P.C. has handled many appeals and has extensive experience in this process . We are often retained by client’s whose applications have been denied to file an appeal and follow through until the application is approved. Often, there is misunderstanding between the caseworker and the applicant as to issues, deadlines, and what information is required, which can result in application denials. Caseworkers often make mistakes and misinterpret policy, which can also result in denials of applications.
When interpretation of policy is at issue, we work directly with the Springfield Policy Office of IDHS to obtain policy clarifications for caseworkers.
