Summit for Health Equity: Health Access Options for Non-Citizens
October 25, 2023
Foley Hoag presented our first-ever hybrid half-day Summit for Health Equity in which we – through four presentations and panel discussions – provided an overview and analysis of the latest issues surrounding health equity and social determinants of health in the U.S. The Summit convened multi-disciplinary lawyers and leaders across the healthcare vertical for engaging dialogue and education.
Health Access Options for Non-Citizens
Newcomers to America face multiple challenges, not the least of which is accessing our country’s complicated health care system. What programs are available for immigrants? What are the qualification criteria? What rights do immigrants have when their coverage has been denied and what resources are available? Does the “public charge” ground for inadmissibility still apply and does it affect health access for the immigrant community? We discussed these questions in the context of Medicare, Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act Exchanges, and commercial insurance.
Panelists:
Thomas Barker, Partner and Co-Chair - Healthcare Practice, Foley Hoag
Andrew P. Cohen, Director/Lead Attorney, Access to Care and Coverage Practice, Health Law Advocates
