When you were diagnosed with cancer, you were thrust into the fight of your life. But you may have quickly learned that the greater battle was surviving the hit that your cancer care delivered to your bank account.
You’re not alone. Bankruptcy rates are almost twice as high among cancer patients as the general population.
"Patients diagnosed with cancer may face significant financial stress, owing to income loss and out-of-pocket costs associated with their treatment," says Scott Ramsey, MD, PhD, a healthcare economist and internist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington. "On average, bankruptcy rates increased 4-fold within 5 years of diagnosis."
Join Fight Colorectal Cancer for a webinar that will detail what resources exist to help patients navigate the very expensive waters of cancer treatment. You will hear from a person who is on the front lines of the battle: Elaine Martinez, a case manager with the Colorectal CareLine at the Patient Advocate Foundation.
Elaine serves as an active liaison between patients and their insurers, employers and/or creditors to resolve insurance, job retention, and/or debt crisis matters relative to their diagnosis of colorectal cancer. Her responsibilities include: exploring reimbursement levels for prescribed colorectal cancer treatments, researching available clinical trials for this patient population and facilitating enrollment into appropriate patient resource programs for both the uninsured and underinsured colorectal patients.
Prince William Today Monthly Insert for June - In partnership with the Prince William Area Agency on Aging, the Prince William Chamber of Commerce will host Transitions: An Informational Expo on Aging Gracefully
Many of our low-income community members have healthcare coverage through the State’s Medi-Cal program, but how can we help them use these benefits to get the care they need? Often times our families tell us they need help getting dental care or seeing a mental health professional. Other times our families tell us they have had a horrible experience and don’t want to return to the doctor. How do we respond to these experiences?
Healthcare coverage can be difficult to manage for anyone. Among our low-income California residents it’s even more difficult to manage as Medi-Cal coverage can be different for each household member. In this workshop we will be discussing healthcare coverage eligibility for all members of the family that may include immigrant household members. We will be reviewing the benefits available to adults, children, and undocumented family members and the rights people have to request timely, accessible, and quality care. Our session will provide guidance to SBHC staff who work with community members with multiple healthcare needs. The goal is to help attendees identify what types of concerns families are having and how to appropriately guide and refer them to the healthcare resources they need.
In addition, during this session participants will explore existing laws, such as The California Values Act (SB 54) and Safe Schools for Immigrant Students (AB 699) that have the potential to safeguard children and their parents from immigration enforcement. Participants will also get to hear about and engage in a conversation about public charge and the potential changes that can affect immigrant families and access to key services such as health care. Lastly, through the findings of a recent report called Healthy Mind, Healthy Future the group will discuss how immigration related policy changes impact the mental health of children in immigrant families and highlight the important role that schools have on ensuring children can overcome barriers and secure the support they need to thrive.

Week 5 DB:Medicaid Eligibility
Imagine a close friend asked for your help. You are to research information about health insurance for this close friend. She is 62 years old and her husband is 72 years old. He is in a rehab hospital following what she calls a "mild stroke". Your friend is employed on a part-time basis as a waitress at a local coffee shop. Determine if they qualify for Medicaid in your state.
Locate an official government on-line source of information for the state you consider “home” (you might live there or it might be home to your family members). Find an additional source of insurance information from an advocacy or resource group for your state. To help determine eligibility, take a look at the current Federal Poverty (FPL) Guidelines. (Remember to identify your home state and include a link to your resource sites.)
A. 1. a.What are the eligibility requirements for Medicaid in your state? Are they both eligible for Medicaid in your state?
b. How much income (Social Security, wages, pension, interest, etc.) is allowed each month (as a Medicaid beneficiary)?
c. How much assets are they allowed? Which possessions count as assets?
2. Assuming eligibility, what benefits are available? Provide an overview of the assistance programs specific to their needs. She is considering home care services, an adult day health program, or the possibility of nursing home care.
B. Share your thoughts:
1. Are the sites user-friendly? Consider health care literacy standards. Also contemplate getting the information if you had an age-related limitation such as poor vision, limited hand function due to arthritis, or short term memory loss.
Medi-Cal
According to the California Department of Health Care Services (DHHS) Medi-Cal qualification website, a family of two can qualify for Medi-Cal if their annual income is below 138% of the federal poverty level which is $22,108 (California Department of Health Care Services, 2016). An individual can also qualify for Medi-Cal if they are: 65 or older; blind; disabled; under 21; pregnant; in a skilled nursing or intermediate care home; on refugee status for a limited time, depending on how long they have been in the United States; breast cancer cervical cancer patients who qualify under the Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program (California Department of Health Care Services, 2016); and/or a parent or caretaker relative of a child under 21 if the child's parent is deceased or doesn't live with the child, or the child's parent is incapacitated, or the child's parent is under employed or unemployed. Medi-Cal is also available to individuals who are enrolled in CalFresh, SSI/SSP, CalWorks (AFDC), Refugee Assistance, and/or the Foster Care or Adoption Assistance Program.

The beginning of this is what I actually do. The rest are examples.
I intern in a 24 Hour HealthCare Group Home with six clients; the youngest clients are in their twenty’s.
I have two supervisors and there are at least 12 Staff Members on the payroll at all times. There is a constant turnover of staff.
I intern in a 24 Hour HealthCare group homes for people with Intellectual Disability, known as Individualized Residential Alternatives IRAs provide individuals with a developmental disability the opportunity to live in a family-size group in residential communities. Once in care, these consumers have found a home for life. The facility Services provides residential care for more than six individuals.
Every day I am able to help each of the five males that live there to reach their fullest potential in life. Each of them suffers from a developmental disability that they were born with. I have learned that when you are born with a disability there are many people who say that “he or she will never be able to ….” because of that disability. Being an employee for Ability Beyond Disability has allowed me to help bring out their ability, regardless of their disability.
Working with these individuals has inspired me to continue my education and go to college to obtain my degree in social and behavioral science so that I can continue to help people with disabilities. Working with these guys has changed my perspective on life quite a bit. I have learned the difference between sympathy and empathy; I have learned that I should never take the simple things in life for granted because there are many people who do not have them or cannot do them. I am lucky enough to be able to help teach the people who cannot easily perform simple, everyday tasks to learn the skills they need to be able to master them. I have the privilege of taking the guys into the community and educating others who may not be aware of the disabilities that they possess.

6. About Ibrahim “Bebo” K. Saab
The Office of Clients’ Rights Advocacy (OCRA) is funded through a contract with the California
Department of Developmental Services. OCRA provides legal services to consumers of all 21 regional

regional center catchment area. The CRA can help with legal problems, conduct trainings, and investigate
denials of rights. Find your local CRA here: http://www.disabilityrightsca.org/about/OCRA.htm

9. What is I.H.S.S.?
I.H.S.S. is the largest publicly funded, non-medical service to help
people with disabilities remain in their homes.
I.H.S.S. is administered by each county at the direction of the
California Department of Social Services.
• Serves as an alternative for individuals who might otherwise be
placed in a facility when they are unable to care for themselves in
their own home.
• Allows recipient to “hire” and “fire” his/her own staff.
• The recipient is the employer.
• Maximum hours is 283 per month.

11. Who is Eligible?
Any California resident is eligible for I.H.S.S. if they:
• are S.S.I./S.S.P. or Medi-Cal eligible.
• are blind, disabled or 65 years of age or older.
• are living in a home, apartment, or abode of their choosing
(not including a hospital, nursing home, assisted living or
licensed care facility).
• are unable to live safely at home without care.
• Note: Residents of long-term care facilities may not receive
I.H.S.S. in the facility, but may apply if they are expected to be
discharged, so that I.H.S.S. is in place when they return to
their homes.
11
12. Medi-Cal and I.H.S.S.
• I.H.S.S. is a program funded through Medi-Cal.
• If someone is found eligible for Medi-Cal, this does not mean
that the person is automatically eligible for I.H.S.S. It just
means that they are eligible to apply for I.H.S.S.
• To be eligible to apply for I.H.S.S., Medi-Cal eligibility/aid code
must be linked to a disability (e.g. S.S.I. eligibility).
12
13. Medi-Cal and I.H.S.S.
• Regional Center eligibility does not
mean someone automatically
qualifies for I.H.S.S.
• Individuals who have Medi-Cal based
on adoption assistance and food
stamps are not eligible to apply for
I.H.S.S. since the aid code is not
linked to a disability. A separate
disability determination can be
requested to get the aid code
changed.
13
15. I.H.S.S. and Regional Center Services
I.H.S.S. is considered a generic resource for Regional Center
services. As the payer of last resort, all available generic
resources must be exhausted before any service are funded by
Regional Center. For example, this means that if you have both
supported living services and I.H.S.S., the I.H.S.S. hours must be
counted before the SLS hours.

21. Who Provides Training and Supervision
for I.H.S.S. Workers?
Typically, the recipient of I.H.S.S. services provides training and
supervision of the workers, but if the individual is unable to do
so, then it becomes the responsibility of the parent, guardian,
or other I.H.S.S. workers.
21
22. When Can a Parent Be Paid
as an I.H.S.S. Provider?
• If the parent quit his or her job, or can’t work full-time
because he or she must care for the disabled child, AND
• If no other suitable care provider is available (willing and
able), AND
• If the child is at risk of out-of-home placement or inadequate
care.
• If both the parents live in the home, one parent may get paid
when the other parent is working, in school, sleeping, or
disabled.
