Workshop Offered to Explain
MaineCare Enrollment
 
All-Day Seminar to Help Businesses, Health Providers and Others

(Augusta)  Consumers for Affordable Health Care (CAHC) and Maine Equal Justice Partners (MEJP) are holding a MaineCare eligibility workshop in Ellsworth, April 27th from 9:00 am-4:00 pm.  If you're a social worker, health care provider, business, school or other group that deals with the public it can often be tough not knowing what direction to point people in when they have a health care issue.  Sometimes it can feel downright helpless. But, we can help! 

 

While our half-day sessions are usually free, this all-day training is $35 per person.

 

The session will give you the tools you need to offer information and application assistance to individuals and families applying for MaineCare, DirigoChoice, Maine's prescription drug discount plans, as well as other free or low-cost health care coverage programs. 

 

Where: Maine Coast Memorial Hospital, 50 Union Street Ellsworth, ME

When: April 27, 2010

Time: 9:00 AM- 4:00 PM

 

Please register by April 23, 2010.  Call Belinda at 622-7083 or email bthurlow@mainecahc.org 

 

If you miss this workshop there will be others around the state through out the year.

 

There are thousands of Maine children and adults who are eligible for MaineCare full-benefit coverage plans and just don't know it.  By getting just a little bit of knowledge, you can make a difference by helping these people get the health coverage they need.

 

* THIS WORKSHOP IS NOT FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR OWN HEALTH CARE OR PRIVATE INSURANCE COVERAGE.  BUT, WE HAVE HELP FOR YOU TOO. CALL OUR HEALTH CARE HELPLINE AT 1-800-965-7476.
