It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.

Just a question, why do u feel u can't do this? Once you get familiar with the forms, it not all that much work. I did for my Mom and am still doing it for my nephew.
My nephew is on Medicaid for health and has never gotten a statement. I have never had any problems with Medicare. The provider yes Medicare no. And provider...very few times.
Balancing a check book is not hard either.
How many bills can ur Mom have in an AL unless there still is a house, which I had to deal with. Medicaid, is just a once a year renewal. Just attach info required. Medicare, you get a statement showing what the provider charged, what Medicare deems reasonable, the 80% they paid and a balance. If medicaid for health is her secondary, then the balance is usually paid in full unless she has copays or deductibles. If she any other secondary, there may be a balance. Once the provider bills me the balance and it agrees to the secondary I pay the bill and discard the statements. I only keep the statements if a problem with the provider. I found the more involved I was the easier things were. The information I required while helping Mom and nephew has helped me in my own dealings with Medicare and secondary insurances. What you are looking for will cost money. Is Moms estate that big? To tell you the truth, I rather be overseeing my Moms accts then a stranger.
I feel that if I can do it, anyone can.
Your Office of Aging maybe able to help you find someone.
You want a licensed financial fiduciary for this work. You will be expecting to pay about 90.00 and hour, though once they get it organized they will be spending likely no more than one hour a month for the billing. More for medicaid and medicare work. You should call an elder law attorney in your area, tell them your elder lives in the area and cannot handle their own finances and you would like a referral list of licensed fiduciaries in the area. You may also get a list from your elder's bank, tho they are often more hesitant to give such advice due to liability concerns. You should be VERY CERTAIN you are not dealing with a financial advisor who "calls" him/herself a Fiduciary. These folks sell investments and make money off what they recommend. That is decidedly what you DO NOT want. So be very very careful. My brother's ex has been using a Fiduciary for many years. He is incompetent at this time, so the fiduciary is responsible for EVERYTHING medical and financial and placement, and so on. This is in the Palm Springs area where there are some four or five people who do this work as a living. I wish you good luck. Be very careful. Just do a careful interview. Wishing you good luck. Be certain you don't want to do this yourself. You can do it long distance. I did it living in the bay area while my brother lived in Palm Springs. It isn't easy and it's a lot of time just WAITING on the phone. Plus I cannot vouch for the competency of folks out there anymore, whether financial institutions, IRS or SS after what all we went through! It's an education in and of itself. I wouldn't do it again. But it does insure your elder isn't getting ripped off. I hope others have more recommends for you.
