How Our Medicaid Readiness Service Works

Step-by-Step guidance for peace of mind.

Our Medicaid readiness process starts with a complimentary review of your current assets, including IRAs, annuities, and non-qualified accounts. We identify opportunities to reposition savings into protected vehicles, such as proprietary annuity certificates—engineered to avoid stock, bond, or commodity risk.


Next, we conduct a thorough analysis of Florida’s Medicaid eligibility rules, focusing on asset thresholds and allowable transfers. Our team helps implement preservation strategies that may include irrevocable trusts, compliant gifting, and resource restructuring—always within the boundaries of state regulations.


We coordinate with trusted legal counsel when advanced planning is required and provide ongoing support so your plan remains up to date as regulations change. Throughout, our faith-driven approach ensures decisions are made with your values and legacy in mind.
