CMS has ruled that the free at-home tests WILL be available to people on Medicare at no cost sometime in the spring. Do we have any idea when that might be?

CMS is shipping free at home test now and we will

ACL says "late spring" for the ones you're talking about, Margie.

Does 90-day prescription during PHE apply to narcotics?

Shoutout to Cindy & SHIPtools team for the addition of the Resource Library and continued refinement of the tools provided to help you be successful in your work. And thanks to you all for being attentive to reporting and closing referrals.

If we screen for LIS and the person makes too much money, do we also check the box that we've screened for MSP?

also, SHIP helpline people want to know if the street is Lane, Drive, Avenue - they have refused to help me if I didn't have exact street name.

Margie & Everyone: ACL/CMS has *recently* put in place a process for us to submit questions/concerns/complaints with regard to UNIQUE IDs and the Medicare 800#. Please reach out to your RL if you are having such issues.

"new to Medicare"

i saw a video on SHIPTA where they said to use retail cost for drugs if new to Medicare.

There IS a way to do that.https://portal.shiptacenter.org/Portal/Resource/Resource-Detail.aspx?ResourceGUID=10c14161-a4b4-40b7-bac8-8327115695c9

in General there's a New to Medicare box to check

Q & A is "disconnected" in my ZOOM. I can chat, but not ask a question.

SHIPtools 83 New to Medicare

@Margie, same here

You may try logging off and right back on if you lost the Q & A function.

Where is activity tab??

that's a little confusing..... Activities is Admin?

and Outreach is Events?

If we have multiple volunteers that do the same event, do we each enter it in or just one of us?

Thank you all for helping them save that much on LIS/MSP!!!!! Good Job!

The PDP/MA-PD $ Saved Comparison is an UNOFFICIAL number, as ACL has not cleared us yet to share this to the general public. (It goes through a validation/data check process before being cleared.) Good to know internally, though.

It's a remarkable effort! You rock!

We continue to get 95% or higher on open enrollment surveys -- Would you recommend our help to a friend? 95% say yes!

The training team is working to add MO Health Net/Medicaid as one of the CLAIM Time topics this year
