Webinar Replay: The Age Wave in Social Programs

On November 11, 2015, HMA Information Services hosted the webinar, “Are You Ready for the Age Wave in Social Programs?”

America is aging. By 2030, approximately one in five Americans will be 65 or older. This age wave will have dramatic implications for the financing and delivery of government-sponsored social programs, including Medicaid and Medicare-Medicaid dual eligibles.

During this webinar, HMA Vice President Joan Henneberry and Senior Consultant Lisa Shugarman outline the challenges that an aging population poses for Medicaid health plans, state Medicaid programs, and dual eligibles initiatives. They also provide a roadmap to the type of innovative partnerships required among payers, providers and policy makers to better serve this population. Listen to the replay and:

• Understand the importance of building relationships at the community level to best meet the needs of an aging population.
• Obtain case studies of the types of partnerships and reimbursement models that have successfully incentivized payers and providers to serve members with complex needs.
• Learn what health plans can expect as states begin to move Long-Term Services and Supports into a managed care environment.
• Find out how to leverage home and community-based services to broaden the reach of preventive care and proactively assess an individual’s health needs.
