Long-Term Services and Supports (LTTS)
in a
Managed Care Environment: Advocacy Strategies for Increasing Independence
May 23, 2012
2 p.m. EST

This year has brought a flood of state proposals to move long-term services and supports (LTSS) into managed care systems.  As is generally true when managed care is involved, these proposals present both opportunities and hazards.  Ideally, service planning will lead to greater options for community-based services, but the risk is that service planning will be dominated by the managed care organization, and focused on short-sighted efforts to limit services.  This session, jointly presented by the National Senior Citizens Law Center (NSCLC) and the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF), will discuss public policy advocacy strategies to protect consumer interests in managed care, introducing and utilizing an LTSS consumer protection checklist developed by NSCLC and DREDF.
