Can Medicare or Medicaid pierce an irrevocable trust?
It depends on how the trust is drafted. A properly drafted irrevocable trust, in Florida, will be invisible to Medicaid (Medicare doesn't factor assets into whether or not one is qualified the way Medicaid does). However, transfers of assets into the trust must be done 5 years before applying to medicaid or medicaid will assess a transfer penalty (this is referred to as the "five year lookback"). The transfer penalty is a period of ineligibility for certain medicaid benefits depending on the size of the transfer. As a result, irrevocable trust planning would not be appropriate for all Medicaid planning scenarios.

Where do you get dental work done in Florida with Medically Needy insurance?
You can't. I went through medically needy share of cost and I have called every medicaid dentist on the list for Florida, no one takes it. So after an ER visit for an abscessed tooth, I was switched to Medicaid for the rest of the month. After another week of calling dentists I find that 99% of them only see children. Good luck, if you find any answers please let us know.
