OP - On your mother's behalf, you may want to talk to an elder care lawyer well versed in setting up trusts to help one qualify for Medicaid to see if there is a legal option to make her eligible.  The goal would be to protect her financial assets now so she can have a life and qualify for the medications that she needs to be able to do so.  [/quote]

Don't other with a lawyer, its jut a money grab.  The threshold is very low and it doesn't sound like she's low income.[/quote]

Again, attempting to shift assets to qualify for Medicaid is not for amateurs and if done incorrectly can leave the person with neither the assets nor the Medicaid. Get your legal advice from a competent elder law attorney, not some poseur on a discussion board who doesn’t have a clue. [/quote]

OP here - I am 100% certain my mom won't transfer her assets in order to accomplish getting this medication.  It's too complex and too many things can go wrong.  It is not a life-saving medication rather one that improves the quality of her daily life.  The other issue is that because she doesn't have a diagnosis getting any kind of assistance with this just won't happen.  I appreciate all of the feedback I've received with my question.  Such a great knowledge base! [/quote]
