Amber Hinds is owner of AshBer, an independent insurance agency specializing in Medicaid-compliant annuities and long-term care (LTC) insurance solutions. Ashber partners with attorneys and financial advisors across the country, helping them get their clients eligible for Medicaid and LTC by offering strategies for asset protection whether the client is in the preplanning stage or a crisis scenario.
Amber studied finance in college, graduating magna cum laude, and realized during an internship that few companies offered Medicaid planning. The need for this service and the opportunity to help people motivated her to create a special career path. Today, Amber has more than 14 years of experience. She is licensed to practice in all 50 states and is a qualified investment advisor via her Series 65 license with FINRA.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
(3:01) Most often, Amber receives a set of information about a client (e.g., what assets they have, what they're paying for, their cost of care) and then she offers a proposal for an insurance product to help qualify that client for Medicaid immediately and get them benefits right away.
(5:23) Ashber is looking for more law firms with which to partner and relies heavily on client referrals. Amber and the team strive to provide stellar customer service and return proposals the same day because of the time sensitivity of the requests.
(15:41) If you have a loved one who is in a nursing home or will be soon, it is not too late to protect their assets. The only time it's too late is when there's no money left. As long as there's something to protect, there are ways to assist.
(17:02) You can tell when you're working with a law firm that cares about its clients. That's the type of firm that Amber wants to work with and it's why she enjoys working with everyone at Bellomo & Associates.
(19:08) The Ashber website (link below) lists helpful resources such as Medicaid guides for each state, planning tools, case studies, etc. The company also conducts free monthly webinars for all of its partner law firms and financial advisors.
