Description

Presenter: Heather R. Chubb, J.D., The Chubb Law Firm

California Medicaid rules are truly one of a kind—but we have asked an experienced California practitioner to teach them to you. The California program (called Medi-Cal) can help your clients pay for the high costs of long-term care. We have created a course that will give you an introduction to the strategies specific to California as a first step in adding these services to your law practice.

In this video you’ll receive Medi-Cal planning strategies that can start your journey in helping Californians get the care they need while also ensuring their estates pass to their family.
