Client Reviews

"We were overwhelmed and thought our loved one had been denied Medicaid. The ClearPath team took the time to explain everything in a way we could understand. They answered our questions, guided us through the process, and gave us peace of mind during a very stressful time. We truly don't know what we would have done without their help."

“When dad fell back in February, and we knew he could no longer live by himself, the decisions that needed to be made and the systems that needed to be navigated quickly were overwhelming.

I am so grateful I was referred to Shay & Chernelle at ClearPath Care & Medicaid Consulting Group. They stepped in with expert advice and counsel and helped me navigate Medicaid and get dad the best care possible over the last few months.

They’re not only friends now, we are family. And thank you for the beautiful flowers.”

“I had been denied a UAI, which meant I would not be able to receive the long-term care services I needed. Shay and Chernelle not only helped me file an appeal of the denial, but they also took the time to prepare me for the hearing. They coached me, conducted mock appeal hearings with me, and helped me understand how to clearly explain how my daily life and ability to care for myself had been affected.

On the day of my appeal hearing, Shay and Chernelle were right there with me, providing support and advocating on my behalf. They helped make sure my needs and circumstances were clearly understood throughout the hearing.

Within just two weeks of the appeal hearing, I received the news that the denial had been overturned and my UAI was approved!

I am incredibly grateful for the guidance, preparation, advocacy, and support I received from Shay and Chernelle throughout this process. They made sure I felt prepared and supported every step of the way.”
