Here you will find articles from Elder Law in Pittsburgh, the our quarterly print newsletter, from the past two years, along with other articles of interest.
Note: Because Medicaid laws have changed so rapidly in the past two years, some information and figures in Medicaid articles may be dated. However, the articles are useful to many readers to show how the law has developed recently, and for explanations of basic Medicaid principles. Current Medicaid figures are available on our site by clicking here.
