Legal Basics: Medicaid Long-Term Services and Supports

When: Wednesday, October 23, 2024
11:00am–12:00pm P.T./2:00-3:00pm E.T.

Medicaid is often the only type of long-term care coverage available for older adults. Medicaid Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) covers more than six out of every ten nursing home residents, and covers millions of others through Medicaid Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS). Additionally, Medicaid LTSS often has different income and asset rules from other Medicaid programs, expanding the number of individuals who may be covered. Despite its magnitude, Medicaid LTSS can be very complicated with various rules that differ across states and populations.

This webinar will cover the basics of Medicaid LTSS eligibility for nursing home residents and HCBS enrollees. Attendees will better understand the different ways in which states cover HCBS and protections available to all LTSS beneficiaries. This webinar will also cover: 

  • Protections under Medicaid for individuals receiving care in nursing facilities;
  • The various ways states administer Medicaid HCBS including waivers, state plan amendments, state options, and through managed care delivery systems; and
  • Recent updates regarding the HCBS Settings Rule eviction protections.

Presenters:

  • Eric Carlson, Director Long-Term Services and Supports Advocacy, Justice in Aging
  • Gelila Selassie, Senior Attorney, Justice in Aging
