Medicare Advantage and Community-Based Organizations: Opportunities and Challenges in Caring for People with Complex Needs
This Roundtable is funded by the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a) through a grant from the Administration for Community Living (ACL).
When: Tuesday, September 10, 2019 from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM
Where: Community Room
Samuel J. Simmons NCBA Estates
2801 14th Street, NW, Washington DC 20009
Program Description: The Balanced Budget Act of 2018, which included the Creating High-Quality Results and Outcomes Necessary to Improve Chronic (CHRONIC) Care Act, offers new flexibility for Medicare Advantage (MA) plans to provide additional supplemental benefits to people with Medicare who have chronic illnesses, and functional and health-related social needs. This offers new opportunities for MA plans and community-based aging and disability organizations to partner in order to provide these services. Our September 10 roundtable will explore these opportunities and challenges, and present real-life examples of CBO-MA plan partnerships in action.
