Course Description:
If you are working in nursing home admissions, hospital discharge planning or with elders in the community, it is imperative that you have current, accurate information about Medi-Cal eligibility and Recovery. Medi-Cal coverage is the payer for nearly two-thirds of the nursing facility population. In addition, as the population ages, issues regarding treatment decisions are becoming prevalent.
This seminar will enable you to:
- Understand the eligibility requirements for single and married people, so that you can better help your clients get the benefits they are entitled to;
- Ensure that your clients are accurately informed about Medi-Cal Recovery issues; and
- Understand the laws and issues related to treatment decisions.
