Webinar

This webinar will feature a representative from the White House Office of Public Engagement on healthcare coverage outreach and enrollment for people with disabilities. The presentation will serve as a re-introduction to the National Disability Navigator Resource Collaborative (NDNRC) and will engage participants to think about what questions a person with a disability needs to consider when examining their health care options in the ACA Marketplace.

The webinar will feature Secretary of the Deleware Department of Health and Social Services Rita Landgraf. As Secretary, Landgradf oversees one of the largest departments in the Delaware government, with an annual budget of over $1 billion. Her work is on the cutting edge of best practices, offering proven models that other states can follow in their own implementation in order to achieve win-win-win solutions for people with disabilities, employers, and taxpayers alike.

In this webinar, the National Training Program team will provide an overview of Medicare’s compare websites, including Hospital Compare, Home Health and Dialysis Compare, and Nursing Home Compare.
