Medi-Cal Recovery?!?

June 23, 2020 by Tab Artis

Did you know that under federal law, after a Medi-Cal recipient dies, the state is required to recover whatever benefits it paid for that person’s care from the recipient’s estate?  The program that provides health care to millions of Americans isn’t free.  The government expects to be repaid and will seize houses and other assets after those recipients die in order to satisfy the debt.

Learn how to prevent such a heartbreaking outcome by viewing On-Demand my free online Seminar.

Did you know that some states (including California) put liens on the homes of people who enroll with Medi-Cal to secure the state’s interest in their property down the road?  Don’t believe it? Read the heartbreaking October 2019 article Medi-Cal’s Dark Secret in The Atlantic magazine.

You can also read the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services own website: “When home equity becomes part of the estate, it is subject to Medi-Cal estate recovery. The survivors may either sell the home and use the proceeds to satisfy the Medi-Cal claim or, if they wish to keep the home in the family, satisfy the claim with their own personal funds.” 

Click on the Button to view On-Demand my FREE online Medi-Cal Planning Seminar, where you’ll learn how you can:

(1) plan ahead so you can quickly qualify for Medi-Cal should the need arise without having to wait till you go broke, and

(2) protect your home, your assets and your estate so that it will pass to your loved ones and not get taken by Medi-Cal after you’re gone.

Tab Artis became an attorney the old-fashioned way: he read the law in the solitude of the early morning hours before work as a full-time paralegal, and late into the night after his family had gone to bed. Despite having never enrolled in law school, Mr. Artis fulfilled the requirements of the California State Bar, and did what few think or even dare to do: sit for the California Bar Exam without having attended law school. Between November 1997 and November 2007, only eight people had taken the California Bar Exam without a law degree and passed on the first try. Mr. Artis is one of those eight people.
