Message from the CEO
Bringing peace of mind to you and your family.
In my office, I have a stack of letters over a foot high.
It tells me the stories of people like you. Struggling through crucial medical decisions. Dealing with exorbitant expenses. Coming to terms with a new, painful reality.
Their Mom, Dad, the person they loved was aging.
On top of that, they faced an overwhelming, complex and tedious Medicaid application.
But there was no-one helping them.
That’s why I founded SPS.
We take the full Medicaid application process off your shoulders, so you’re free to care for the person you love.
In the process, we become more than just your Medicaid experts; we become family.
