Every ALS patient, home health agency, caretaker and advocate is urged to register for the last remaining live Medicare for ALS Patients webinar. It will be held next Monday, May 16th, 3-5pm PST or 6-8pm EST. Knowledge is power. Arm yourself with what you need to know to get benefits for yourself, a patient or a loved one. Here’s the link to register: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8535254053521234948 I personally participated in the first webinar, and it was ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT. Judith Stein and Kathy Holt, both attorneys for the Center for Medicare Advocacy, provide clear and detailed information on how to qualify for and keep Medicare home care benefits, as well as the federal laws in place which apply. The information is presented from a patient advocate perspective and addresses some of the challenges in navigating the system and how to deal with them. Plain English. Easy to follow. Excellent delivery. The ALS Association has contracted with the Center for Medicare Advocacy to create and disseminate webinars, printed materials and other information to educate the ALS community on the home care, also known as home health services, benefits a patient is entitled to through Medicare. The project has been named the Medicare Access Project, or MAP. The link to access the MAP project page is provided below. Over the coming weeks and months, additional information and resources will be added to this page, including the recording of the Medicare for ALS Patients webinar, a Frequently Asked Questions section derived from questions asked by participants during the webinars, links to register for planned in-depth home care webinars as well as other helpful information and resources. Be sure to save the link for future reference. http://www.medicareadvocacy.org/ALS-MAP/ #MedicareAccessProject #MAP
