Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit
Presenter:
Karen Tritz - Policy
Consultant
Karen Tritz offers an excellent understanding of the Medicaid programs, with extensive experience on
both the state and federal levels.
Medicare and Medicaid are the two types of health insurance authorized by the Social Security Act. Medicare
is a program for individuals who are receiving Social Security benefits who are also over age 65 or disabled.
Medicaid is a health insurance available to Americans who are members of specific groups, such as children, the
elderly or individuals with disabilities, who also have very low income and few resources. In this lecture Ms. Tritz discusses:
- complex and sweeping legislative change in both the Medicare and Medicaid systems.
- the implementation of the Medicare Modernization Act, the Medicare reform and perscription drug program enacted in 2003
- how the legislation will impact individuals who currently have Medicare as well as perscription drug coverage under state administered Medicaid program.
