Webinars: Tobacco Cessation, Medicaid and the ACA: What’s New in 2014?

Implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is in full swing and there are important changes happening to Medicaid. Some of these changes will affect what tobacco cessation treatments are available to Medicaid enrollees, and how they receive treatment. In this hour-long webinar, experts from the American Lung Association will explore how ACA implementation is affecting Medicaid coverage of tobacco cessation treatments, including the provision that prohibits Medicaid programs from excluding coverage of tobacco cessation medications as of January 1, 2014. Join us to learn more about these provisions and what they mean for Medicaid enrollees and healthcare providers.

This webinar will be offered twice. Below is information regarding the date and time and the link to sign up. Information about the webinar, including call-in information will be sent out to registered participants prior to the call.
