I called the Missouri Medicaid office and searched their websites, but can not get a straight answer. They seem to just refer to the application, which we are not ready to apply for that yet. I would love to buy Gabriel Heiser's book, but is it state specific?
You can print out the application form, study it, and then at least have specific questions and refer to parts of the application that you don't understand. If you are going to consult an Elder Law attorney, fine, but study the application first to streamline the appointment
You can print it out from here: http://dss.mo.gov/fsd/formsmanual/pdf/im1ma.pdf
