The nonprofit National Senior Citizens Law Center will host a free 90-minute webinar that promises to "examine how the new health care reform law will impact low-income older adults."
From the release: The webinar will present an overview of how the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) will affect older individuals, with a focus on the Medicaid long-term services and support provisions relating to long-term care facilities. NSCLC experts will also explain changes in the Act that will particularly affect "dual eligibles," those who received both Medicare and Medicaid. Certain changes affect the Medicare Part D prescription drug program and Medicare Advantage managed care packages, for which overall funding was reduced.
The presenters will be Eric Carlson, Gene Coffey, and Georgia Burke, all of whom are attorneys with the National Senior Citizens Law Center.
Sponsorship for this Webinar is provided by the National Consumer Law Center and the National Senior Citizens Law Center and a grant from the Administration on Aging. This webinar is in a series of National Elder Rights Training Project webinars for the National Legal Resource Center.
