CMA Symposium: Jimmo v. Sebelius at 10 Years - A Call for Sustainable Implementation
The Center for Medicare Advocacy (CMA) is holding a symposium on September 27, "Jimmo v. Sebelius at 10 Years: A Call for Sustainable Implementation."
In 2013, the Center for Medicare Advocacy and Vermont Legal Aid, along with additional counsel, settled a lawsuit with the Medicare program challenging the so-called “improvement standard.” The lead plaintiff in this historic case was Glenda Jimmo who was denied Medicare coverage for home health care because she wasn’t improving.
Ten years later, many people have benefited from being able to get skilled nursing and therapy services in certain care settings when such services are to maintain one’s condition or slow decline. Too often, however, people are still denied Medicare-covered care because they aren’t improving or aren’t improving fast enough. The Jimmo Symposium is a virtual meeting to hear from advocates, providers, beneficiaries, and others who will discuss practical tips and strategies for obtaining medically necessary services pursuant to the Jimmo settlement. Ongoing challenges to getting and providing such care, and what we can do about it, will be discussed.
