Subject: Free webinars - Employed Individuals with Disabilities (EID) Program: Medical Assistance for Workers

The Maryland Department of Disabilities
Presents:

“The Employed Individuals with Disabilities (EID) Program:

Medical Assistance for Workers”

A FREE Webinar 

Discover this powerful work incentive that provides Medical Assistance for Marylanders with disabilities who work for pay and meet a few other conditions.  Medical Assistance provides excellent coverage if you are uninsured, and can supplement other insurance, saving up to thousands of dollars a year.

EID has the highest income limit of any Medical Assistance program in Maryland, and a much higher resource (asset) limit than most other programs.  This helps people keep Medical Assistance even with substantial earnings or savings.

Learn how people getting Medicaid Waiver services can use EID to keep Waiver services when their incomes or assets increase.

What is EID? 

Maryland’s EID Program lets people with disabilities work and qualify for (or keep) Medical Assistance.  Medical Assistance can: 

·         Provide excellent health coverage for people with no other insurance 

·         Supplement other insurance – covering services that other insurance does not 

·         Save Medicare recipients $1,000 - $12,000 a year on medical costs 

EID gives people with disabilities an incentive to work, by ensuring health coverage even when earnings are substantial. 

The monthly premiums for EID range from $0 - $55 – much lower than for private insurance.

What Will This Webinar Do For You?

If you are a person with a disability, you will learn who is eligible for EID, how to apply, and how the program helps people who receive other benefits. 

You will find out how much money EID can save you, and how much you can earn without losing your health coverage.

If you get Medicaid Waiver services, you’ll learn how you can use EID to keep these services when your income or assets grow.

If you are a Medical Assistance service provider, you will find out how you can qualify more of your customers for Medical Assistance so you can get reimbursed for more services.
