NEW FACT SHEET TO ASSIST CONSUMERS WITH HEALTH CARE VISITS

Also, be sure to check out our fact sheet on moving from coverage to care for persons with disabilities, available here.

The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) is hosting a webinar on Monday entitled “Prohibiting Discrimination under the Affordable Care Act – Federal and State Roles and Responsibilities.” It’s scheduled for this Monday, April 18, 2016 at 1:00 PM ET.

Recently, CMS issued guidance on the circumstances when a Special Enrollment Period can become retroactive and what the requirements were for meaningful access for individuals with limited English proficiency. The Health Affairs blog has posted an explanation of these two pieces of guidance. To read this blog post, click here.

Are you looking for local partners to help with outreach to the disability community? The NDNRC is funding eighteen Community Outreach Collaboratives (COCs) for the third year of our project. This includes the eleven that were funded last year, plus seven new locations in six new states. The COCs increase collaborations in the community, dissemination and outreach efforts and enrollment of people with disabilities in the ACA. To find a COC, click here.
