Why Aren't More People Using Consumer Direction?

from A Question of Care · host Robert Espinoza

Not enough people know about consumer direction, a policy approach allowing Medicaid recipients to pay family members to provide them with in-home care. Consumer-directed beneficiaries, or "independent providers," are growing in numbers, but not quickly enough. In this episode, host Robert Espinoza speaks with Corrine Eldridge, President and CEO of the Center for Caregiver Advancement. They discuss what consumer direction offers, why independent providers need more government attention, and how to boost this aspect of long-term care. This podcast was produced in partnership with MODRY MEDIA.
