IFFGD’s 2022 Virtual Education and Advocacy Event is a free event to educate the community about access to healthcare and treatment and how to best advocate for yourself in the medical field.
The virtual education program is designed to help you learn more about how to receive the health care you need and deserve. Learn about topics like the following.
Session 1: Advocating for yourself in the doctor’s office
During this session, we will discuss the many obstacles that patients face while working with their healthcare provider and/or support staff to receive proper care and how to overcome those challenges.
Sessions 2: Advocating for yourself to get medications or diagnostics you need
During this session, you will hear from family members and a patient about how changes in insurance coverage, insurance denials, and medication costs have personally impacted their lives or loved ones. We will also discuss how to find an insurance plan tailored to your needs.
Session 3: How to Afford your Healthcare
During this session, we will educate patients on navigating the complex coverage system for medical tests and medication. Afterward, we will hold a discussion to help answer questions from the patient community on the best ways to move forward to gain access to affordable medications and procedures.IFFGD 2022 Virtual Education and Advocacy Event
