Medicaid

Can a DME company submit diagnosis to medicare for payment for orthotic splints by using diagnosis codes that medicare will pay for instead of the diagnosis submitted by therapists?

My father-in-law lives in Mississippi. He is wanting to deed all of his assets and property into a family trust. His main two goals are:1. To protect his estate for his three adult children (with his oldest daughter as trustee) 2. Have all of his assets out of his name in the event he becomes ill (he is 87 years old) so he may qualify for Medicaid benefits later in his life. We are told there is a three or five year look-back period for purposes of qualifying for nursing home Medicaid benefits. What forms do you recommend?

I would like to make out a form for the 5 year period so that they cannot take my property in case I become ill. However, I want the right to get the income from the property until I become disabled. I need to put my property in my kids name, so, how do I do this? Also, I had a tenant that left me with a large bill and need to get my money from her; so, how can I get a garnishment or something to get my money?

Which trust is required for asset protection, specifically protection from long-term care costs? Can a married individual be the sole trust maker of this trust? Is there any condition under which this trust may become revocable?
