Free Training Opportunity

NC Innovations Waiver: Advocating for Appropriate Services Under the Managed Care System

As our state transitions to a managed care system, Disability Rights NC is here to help you understand what this means for you and your loved ones. We are holding a series of free trainings in collaboration with Family Support Network of NC local programs. We have lots of locations and dates coming up. Tell us which one you will be attending by clicking here to register or contact your local Family Support Network coordinator at http://www.fsnnc.org/findlocal.

In this training, staff from Disability Rights NC will discuss:

• The transition to managed care
• “How-to” advocacy skills to help families protect a person’s rights during and after the transition
• How care coordination differs from case management
• Strategies on navigating Medicaid appeals and how the process changes under managed care
• General self-advocacy tips

BRING YOUR QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS!
