NDNRC Releases New Fact Sheet & Announces Upcoming Fact Sheets

The American Association on Health and Disability (AAHD) is pleased to announce the publication of a new fact sheet for the National Disability Navigator Resource Collaborative (NDNRC). “What to Know When Assisting a Consumer with an Autism Spectrum Disorder” is intended to help Navigators identify what issues are unique to consumers with autism spectrum disorder so that they can assist them as they make decisions related to their healthcare coverage.  This fact sheet can be found here. Special thanks to Autism Speaks for their authorship of the fact sheet.

This fact sheet represents the first in a series of new fact sheets that the NDNRC will be releasing that will provide navigators and other enrollment specialists with information they need to help specific populations within the disability community. The six population specific fact sheets we will release in Year 2 will add to our previous fact sheet on Veterans and they are as follows:

  • What to Know When Assisting a Consumer with Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • What to Know When Assisting a Consumer with a Child with Special Health Care Needs
  • What to Know When Assisting a Consumer with Intellectual Disability
  • What to Know When Assisting a Consumer with Mental Illness
  • What to Know When Assisting a Consumer with Multiple Sclerosis
  • What to Know When Assisting a Consumer with Paralysis

In addition, the NDNRC will also be releasing four new topical fact sheets which will add to the series of fact sheets released in year one which addressed issues such as a health plans’ summary of benefits and coverage, rehabilitation and habilitation therapies and devices, and prescription medication benefits. The entire list of fact sheets is available here. The new topical fact sheets will be on the following topics:

  • Renewals and Redeterminations
  • Moving from Coverage-to-Care for People with Disabilities
  • Meeting the Communication Needs of Specific Disability Populations
  • Disability Etiquette
