The first half of this presentation will provide information on how Medicare works and what is covered with a managed care plan. The second half will go over what Managed Long-Term Care (MLTC) is and what does it cover, who qualifies for it and how to know if a client would qualify, as well as why a client would choose Managed Long-Term Care as an insurance option.

As Empire BCBS representatives, the presenters will give information about their company, provide an overview on what is covered based on their policies and current coverage that can be provided for a client, as well as important information for Empire BCBS members and information on referring providers.

With this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Identify the different parts of Medicare
• Explain Medicare advantage plans (Empire BCBS-specific) and what they cover
• Understand the basics of Managed Long-Term Care
• How to identify someone who can benefit from the MLTC program and how to refer those that have been identified as a good fit
• Identify what Empire BCBS covers with their Medicare and Managed Long-Term Care programs
