Some examples of cases we handle are denials of eligibility for Medicaid (Medical Assistance), denials of services under Medical Assistance (e.g., home health aides, prescription drugs, durable medical equipment), individuals struggling with their health care costs and individuals struggling with their prescription co-pays under Medicare Part D.
