Dual Eligibility

Presented by:
Bev Roberts, Director of Mainstream Medical Care
Arc of New Jersey

After individuals with IDD receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for 24 months, Medicare starts automatically. To be eligible for DDD services, individuals with IDD must also have Medicaid. Whenever an individual has both Medicare and Medicaid, they are referred to as “dual eligible.” This virtual presentation will provide information on what families need to know when their loved one becomes dual eligible.

Topics of this presentation will include the following:

• Health coverage for dual eligible individuals
• Prescription drug coverage for dual eligible individuals
• Cost-sharing and balance-billing issues
• The Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP)
• Question and answer.
