About This Toolkit
Medicare Interactive toolkits provide a variety of resources to help you navigate complex Medicare topics. This toolkit is comprised of a series of stand-alone Medicare Advocacy Toolkits developed for any New York advocate who is helping older adults and people with disabilities navigate health insurance benefits.
With 35 years of counseling and advocacy experience, the Medicare Rights Center possesses specialized knowledge about the barriers people with Medicare face in accessing affordable health care, as well as strategies for overcoming these barriers. While intended for a New York audience, the Medicare Advocacy Toolkits may offer lessons to other states and be useful resources as advocates and policymakers think about ways to improve the federal Medicare program.
