The Aplastic Anemia & MDS International Foundation (AA&MDSIF) will hold two webinars on health insurance in October 2009:

For MDS patients: MDS and Your Health Insurance

Thursday, October 15th, 3pm to 4:15pm Eastern time (noon to 1:15pm Pacific time)

Description:

Medicare and other health insurance coverage can be confusing and worrisome, especially when Medicare or the private insurance company refuses to pay for the treatment you need. In this session, we will help you understand coverage rules and how to take steps to get your treatment covered by Medicare or your insurer. We will also highlight various prescription assistance programs that can be a resource for you as an MDS patient or the caregiver of an MDS paient. Plenty of time will be left at the end of the session for questions.

For PNH patients: PNH and Your Health Insurance

Thursday, October 29, 2009, 3pm to 4:15pm Eastern time (noon to 1:15pm Pacific time)

Description:

Going uninsured after reaching a lifetime benefit maximum can spell medical and financial disaster for patients with PNH. However, there are consumer protections that may help you avoid a coverage loss in these situations. In this session, through case study and group discussion, learn about your rights and protections under state and federal law. Learn about transitioning to new coverage following the reaching of a lifetime benefit maximum.
