Selected Statutes, Regulations, Guidance and Cases

This brand new source book edited by certified elder law specialist Robert C. Gerhard III, Esq., is a "must have" for anyone advising seniors and their families, and helping nursing home residents. This essential resource provides access to the statutes, regulations, cases, statements of policy, and operations memorandum that are a challenge to find, but are necessary to understand how Medicaid is used to finance long-term care in Pennsylvania. This year, estate planners and elder law attorneys have witnessed major changes in the Medicaid laws that impact eligibility for long-term care benefits. The recently implemented Deficit Reduction Act (DRA), enacted February 8, 2006, and effective March 3, 2007, made major changes to the rules which apply to Medicaid-funded long-term care. The Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare has issued guidance in how it will interpret the DRA, but the prior statutes and existing regulations have not yet been updated. Effort has been taken in this source book to highlight law that appears to be still on the books, but which has been recently repealed or impacted by the DRA.

This new lawsource is a companion to Mr. Gerhard's best-selling treatise Pennsylvania Medicaid — Long-Term Care.
