Know Your Rights: Health Care, Medicare, and Medicaid

When your family faces an illness, unexpected health care bills or mounting expenses of long-term care, how can you get straight answers about your health care rights under the law?

How do you make sure you get what you deserve from government programs including Medicare and Medicaid?

On this Life Happens Radio podcast you’ll learn about your rights to these benefits. Attorneys Lou Pierro and Frank Hemming explain the maze of rules, regs, and red tape that citizens need to navigate to access these public programs, and how sometimes you need an advocate along the way.

Lou and Frank are joined by paralegal Jennifer DeRosa, who used to work within the Department of Social Services. Jen shares insights about interacting with County agencies when applying for – and getting – benefits.
