Written by long term care attorney

Robert C. Gerhard, III really did write the book on Pennsylvania Medicaid. He is author of Pennsylvania's law treatise on the topic of Medical Assistance (Medicaid) long-term care benefits, now in its fifteenth edition. There is a lot of conflicting information out there, and sometimes it is difficult to know what is true and not true about Medicaid long-term care benefits. The nursing home staff may say one thing, and friends who have gone through this may say something else. Consider hiring Attorney Gerhard to let you know what is true for your particular situation. Medicaid rules are complex, but Attorney Gerhard will provide clear, actionable advice for your case.
