The government offers additional Social Security assistance to people with certain disabilities and people over age 65 to aid in covering medical expenses. These assistance programs are both popular and very helpful. With millions of Americans currently enrolled, the Social Security Administration provides Medicare and Medicaid coverage requiring minimal reimbursement by the patient. Our Pennsylvania firm can help you establish Medicare and Medicaid eligibility and expedite the process of applying for aid.
Medicare is the Social Security Administration’s health insurance program designed for people over age 65, people with disabilities, and people of all ages who suffer from kidney problems that require dialysis or kidney transplants. Because Medicare benefits are paid for by Social Security taxes, only people who have worked under the Social Security system, or whose spouses have worked under Social Security, qualify for coverage. Additionally, people who have been receiving Social Security disability benefits for two years and government employees who meet disability requirements automatically establish Medicare eligibility.
People can choose what type of Medicare health insurance they receive based on the type of coverage they would like, the out-of-pocket expenses they can afford, and the services they use. Depending on which options you choose, Medicare can cover hospital visits and doctors’ services and defray the costs of prescription drugs. After your visit, your healthcare provider will obtain payment for its services by filing a claim for Medicare reimbursement. Our Pennsylvania firm can provide more information about Medicare eligibility and help you apply for services. Contact O'Malley & Langan, P.C. today.

Medicaid is a need-based health insurance plan that is funded by the federal government in conjunction with state governments. Therefore, each state has its own eligibility requirements in addition to national guidelines. Generally, people with little or no income who are over age 65 and people who are blind or disabled can qualify to receive Medicaid. People who receive Supplemental Security Income, Medicare, or other assistance also can qualify for Medicaid.
The Social Security lawyers at O'Malley & Langan can help determine if you meet Pennsylvania Medicaid eligibility requirements. Your amount of income, household size, age, and degree of disability are taken into account when determining Medicaid eligibility. If these factors suggest that you cannot afford to pay for healthcare, you may be entitled to receive assistance from the government. The state and federal governments offset the medical expenses of Medicaid recipients through doctor reimbursement plans. Our Pennsylvania lawyers can provide advice about establishing Medicaid eligibility and protecting your assets in the wake of large medical bills. Contact our offices today to schedule a case review.

Our Pennsylvania firm can help you establish Medicare and Medicaid eligibility and advise you on how to best protect your assets from being seized to cover costly medical expenses. Call or email O'Malley & Langan for expert advice. Our experienced attorneys can protect your rights and help you get the medical coverage you need.
