The Center has some webinars coming up that you may be interested in attending and sharing with your colleagues:

 

• On Friday, Oct. 13 at 2 p.m. ET, we’ll have a guest from the Medicare Rights Center talking about research they’ve done to examine promising practices and challenges from states to transition persons with expansion Medicaid onto Medicare—including helping them to apply for Aged/blind/disabled Medicaid and the Medicare Savings Programs. Register at: https://www.ncoa.org/event/medicaid-medicare-transitions/

 

• On Wednesday, Nov. 8 at 2 p.m. ET, we will have our annual roundup of all things Medicare in 2018—including changes to costs and coverage. We like to host this during Open Enrollment so we can also help troubleshoot any issues that counselors may be seeing as they help clients walk through their plan choices for the coming year. Register at: https://www.ncoa.org/event/whats-new-with-medicare-in-2018/

 

Both of these webinars will be recorded and the slides made available on our website at www.ncoa.org/ncboewebinars

 

In addition, we’re also co-sponsoring a webinar next week (Oct. 2 at 2 p.m. ET) with Justice in Aging on Breakthrough Changes in Improper QMB Billing—register at http://www.justiceinaging.org/free-webinar-breakthrough-changes-improper-billing-qmbs-advocates-need-know/

 

And for those of you who may be interested in applying for the new Benefits Enrollment Center grants, we’ll have an information session Tuesday, Oct. 10 at 3 p.m. ET to answer questions. Call in to 1-866-740-1260, passcode 4796976# --this will also be recorded and posted on our website.
