[WSBAPT] Medicaid

[Amy Goertz]

Good advice regarding their options is exactly what I am looking for; what
kind of ballpark figure should one expect for such advice?  Is $3000 a
reasonable fee for this?  They aren’t looking for free, just fair.

I have always considered assistance with the application the practice of
law, and have held feet to the fire where “do gooders” get involved.
Although this seems a simple application process

They are entitled to good advice re options.

I would recommend they go to the local DSHS office for assistance.  They
appear to be under the CSRA limit, which should make qualifying easy.

Close friends in Spokane need to apply for Medicaid.  They have a house
with a reverse mortgage, $20k in savings, and are living on the husband’s
pension.  Husband’s death is imminent.  The attorney they spoke to in
Spokane wanted $3000 to assist with filling out the Medicaid paperwork.
Client says she filled out Medicaid paperwork for her husband’s parents
without issue.  Is there any reason they need an attorney to help with
this?  If so, what is a reasonable fee for this type of assistance?

Thanks in advance.
