Advocacy Center Hosts Medicaid Waiver Training Seminar
The Advocacy Center will be sponsoring a Seminar on Representing Persons
with Disabilities in Medicaid Waiver Determination Hearings. The
seminar will be held from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., on Wednesday, March
11, 2009, at 1000 N. Ashley Drive, Suite 640, Tampa, Florida 33602.
The seminar will include an overview of how to represent persons with
disabilities who have challenged a denial or change in services by APD.
Many of these individuals will need lawyers to assist them through the
proceedings before the Division of Administrative Hearings. Since
September of 2008 thousands of individuals have had their level of
service changed and many are still without counsel to represent them.
The Advocacy Center is willing to provide technical assistance and
consultation to any attorney choosing to handle a case pro bono.
There is no fee to attend this seminar, and those wishing to attend, are
requested to contact Rhonda Orlosky, at rhondao@advocacycenter.org or by
calling 813-233-2920, ext. 209.
