The second edition of "Health Insurance Resources: A Guide for
People with Chronic Disease and Disability" continues to be a
uniquely helpful reference for those who need and use health
insurance most often but have the least access to it. The book was
developed to assist individuals living with disability and chronic
health conditions, as well as health care professionals, in
understanding the health care system and maximizing their rights
and entitlements within that system.
The manual is completely updated throughout, and reflects the
changes in the system since the first edition's publication in
2003. Crucially, the book includes new information about the new
Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage plan, which took effect in
January 2006. It also covers:
Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security
Income COBRA HIPAA State High Risk, Pools Insurance glossary State
pharmacy assistance programs And much, much more This essential
guide contains information about a wide variety of options that
will be of assistance to individuals who are uninsured,
underinsured, or who have questions about insurance and don't know
where to begin. It will also serve those who work with chronically
ill individuals and their families, such as health care
professionals and para-professionals, consumer and patient
advocates, and the educators and institutions that serve them.
