For those of you in the path of Hurricane Dorian (or in areas affected by other natural disasters), we wanted to remind you of some of the support available to you & your clients during times of disaster.

 

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services provides updated information about waivers and flexibilities in enrollment in declared disaster areas on this page: https://www.cms.gov/About-CMS/Agency-Information/Emergency/EPRO/Current-Emergencies/Current-Emergencies-page.html. Note, too this fact sheet regarding guidance for getting durable medical equipment during emergencies: https://www.cms.gov/About-CMS/Agency-Information/Emergency/Downloads/Emergency-DME-Beneficiaries-Hurricanes.pdf

 

NCOA’s BenefitsCheckUp also provides guidance and links to the types of benefits available during a disaster at https://www.benefitscheckup.org/disaster-assistance/#!/.

 

We at the Center hope you, your clients, and your loved ones remain safe and well during this time.
