Beginning in 2014, states have the option to expand Medicaid to nearly all individuals with incomes up to 138% of t he federal poverty level ($15,000/year for an individual), which will grea tly increase health care access to millions of low-income Americans. Given their high uninsured rate &\; limited access to care, individuals who are homeless are one group who could significantly benefit from this expan sion. The discussion will identify common Medicaid enrollment and access b arriers, successful strategies to overcome these barriers, and future cons iderations for implementing the Medicaid expansion under health reform.\r\ n \r\nPresenters:\r\n\r\nBarbara DiPietro, PhD\; Policy Director, National Health Care for the Homeless Council\; Baltimore\r\nRachel Arguello, MPH\ ; Policy Analyst, Kaiser Commission for Medicaid and the Uninsured, Kaiser Family Foundation\; Washington, D.C.\r\nKevin Lindamood, MSW\; President &\; CEO, Health Care for the Homeless, Inc., Baltimore\r\n\r\nPlease cl ick here to register for the webinar.\r\n --- This iCal file does *NOT* co nfirm registration.Event details subject to change. ---\r\n\r\n--- By Tend enci - The Open Source AMS for Associations ---\r\n UID:uid594@ncceh.org SUMMARY:NHCHC Webinar: Connecting Homeless Individuals to Medicaid and Health Care Services DTSTART:20120927T170000Z DTEND:20120927T180000Z CLASS:PUBLIC PRIORITY:5 DTSTAMP:20240329T103425Z TRANSP:OPAQUE SEQUENCE:0 X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
