Let Your Voice Be Heard at two MassHealth Public Hearings

December 16, 2011, 1 pm - 4 pm, at the Worcester Public Library, Saxe Room, 3 Salem Square, Worcester, MA. January 4, 2012, 9 am - 12 noon, at the State Transportation Building, Conference Rooms 2 & 3, 10 Park Plaza, Boston, MA
Speak Out for Your Rights - Make sure proposed changes in MassHealth and Medicare support people with disabilities, not insurance companies. Protect PCA services! Increase peer support! Improve durable medical equipment services! Bring back dental coverage!
Massachusetts is proposing to combine services for people with disabilities who are on both Medicaid (MassHealth) and Medicare. This can improve how you get services, and even increase your access to PCAs, peer support, and DME. The state will even ask providers to comply with the ADA! But the plan may allow insurance companies to take away support services YOU depend on, which is a huge concern.
