NSCLC Webinar: Health care reform and low-income older adults

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.

Certain changes affect the Medicare Part D prescription drug program and Medicare Advantage managed care packages, for which overall funding was reduced.
