Explains the 2 types of coverage consumers can choose from for additional insurance to go with their Medicare A and B: Medigaps and Medicare Advantage Plans, what they are, how they coordinate with Medicare and what coverage they provide for those enrolled in Medicare A and B. April 15 – Session 3:  Medicare Part D This course explains the newest benefit of Medicare, Part D, for prescription drug coverage.  Details how Part D works, how to get it, what the costs are for Part D, eligibility and how to apply for financial assistance with Part D costs for those with low incomes.  Will also discuss other cost saving options available to consumers enrolled in Part D. April 22 – Session 4:  Medicare, Medicaid, and Other Health Insurance Options – What you need to know Explains the CO Medicaid programs people with Medicare may be eligible for and how those Medicaid programs coordinate with Medicare.

Attention all HCBS Home Care Providers Virtual Weekly Meeting

13 agencies on Western Slope have joined together to request the state reconsideration of the recent reduction in home care reimbursement rate. This reduction, coupled with increased regulations, increased minimum wage, makes it unaffordable to provide home care services to the HCBS recipients.  We believe there is power in numbers and therefore if this issue has impacted your agency, please join our weekly meetings each Tuesday at 9:00 AM. Below is the link to join so we can fight together. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions I’m happy to provide further details.  Microsoft Teams meeting - Join on your computer or mobile app Click here to join the meeting Learn More | Meeting options
