Advanced Medicaid Planning Available to Southwest Kansas Residents

Attorney Megan L. McCann, partner at the Law Office of Davis & McCann, P. A., Dodge City, Kansas, recently completed a specialized Medicaid planning course focused on solutions for individuals and families. 

The course, offered by Mike Anthony, JD, CMP of Edgentus, covered an extensive review of government benefits provided by Medicaid, the rules and regulations governing those benefits, and specific techniques available to attorneys to assist clients in maximizing the protection of personal assets during the Medicaid application process. Anthony is one of the foremost experts on the subject of long-term care planning in the U. S. He also is the author of the “Medicaid Planning Guidebook,” the largest textbook on the subject of long-term care Medicaid planning.

“As baby boomers enter their advanced senior years, we’ve seen a spike in the need for assistance with long-term care planning and Medicaid applications. It’s our goal to provide affordable, high-level legal care to our clients, without them having to drive halfway across the State to receive the advice they need. We’ve offered more basic long-term care planning services for the past 2-3 years, but we believe advanced training such as this, although a sizable investment for our boutique law firm, ensures we can fulfill that commitment to our clients,” McCann says.
