You are invited to our NEW Health Coverage
Central workshop. Join other staff and volunteers
who serve people looking for information
on their health coverage options, rights,
and responsibilities.
You will
learn:
- How
to describe and screen for potential eligibility for MaineCare coverage
and how to assist with the application and appeal processes
- How
to describe and screen for potential eligibility for non-insurance health
care options, including hospital free and
sliding-scale care, free and sliding-scale health and dental
clinics, prescription assistance programs and the Medicare
Savings Program
- How
to describe and screen for potential eligibility for DHA programs including
DirigoChoice, the Pre-existing Condition
Insurance Plan (PCIP), HCTC and the Part-Time and Seasonal
Worker Voucher program
- How
to assist someone with the complex task of comparing different
insurance policies and explain basic
insurance
protections, including how to appeal a
claim or authorization denial in Maine
This is a
full-day, $40 workshop, and there will be a one-hour lunch on
your own. There are several eateries within walking distance
of City Hall.
Parking is available in the Abbott Square parking garage across from
the library. Parking costs 50 cents per hour with a maximum charge of
$4.50/day.
