The National Information & Referral (I&R) Support Center is hosting an upcoming webinar to educate participants 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.
Presenters:
- Kristin Helfer Koester, Medicare Program Associate, ADvancing States
- Jennifer Teague, Associate Director - Health Coverage and Benefits, NCOA
