Due to out-of-pocket costs, Medicare beneficiaries with lower incomes and resources may delay or go without needed health care or prescription medication. I&R professionals can help connect clients to programs that help lower-income Medicare beneficiaries with their health and prescription drug costs. Join this webinar to learn about the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA), the federal legislation that authorizes federal grants to states and tribes to provide outreach and assistance to eligible Medicare beneficiaries for benefit programs that help to lower their Medicare costs. Gain insight into the benefit programs that provide financial assistance to eligible beneficiaries: the Medicare Savings Programs (MSP) and the Low-Income Subsidy (LIS, also known as Extra Help with Medicare Prescription Drug Costs). Additionally, representatives from the National Council on Aging (NCOA) and ADvancing States will share highlights from recent research and discuss information and tools from their respective organizations that I&R professionals can use to strengthen their knowledge of MIPPA and these programs as well as provide outreach to their communities.
