Justice in Aging: Webinar on New Person-Centered Care Rules

Justice in Aging (formerly National Senior Citizens Law Center) is offering a free webinar on Wednesday. April 29, from 2 to 3 p.m. (eastern time) on “How New CMS Person-Centered Care Planning Rules Apply to Medicaid Delivered Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS).”

They report their webinar will focus on the rules as they apply to long-term services and supports delivered through Medicaid home and community-based waivers, and will:

• Provide background context for the new person-centered planning and service plan      rule
• Analyze the requirements of the new rule
• Give examples of how selected states (Minnesota, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Wisconsin) are implementing provisions of the rule
• Identify gaps where more detailed state rules or better managed care plan contractual terms are needed to ensure that compliance with the intent of the rule

Who should participate?  The program is suggested for health care professionals and their staffs, attorneys for consumers of LTSS services, and public employees —  and consumers, too.
