Presents:
“How to Work and Keep Medical Assistance”
A FREE Webinar
Discover this powerful work incentive that provides Medical Assistance for Marylanders with disabilities who work for pay and meet a few other conditions. Medical Assistance provides excellent coverage if you are uninsured, and can supplement other insurance, saving up to thousands of dollars a year.
Learn about changes to the program made by new regulations that took effect October 1 and make more people eligible. Click here to go right to the Webinar Dates and Registration.
What is EID?
Maryland’s EID Program lets people with disabilities work and qualify for (or keep) Medical Assistance. Medical Assistance can:
- Provide excellent health coverage for people with no other insurance
- Supplement other insurance – covering services that other insurance does not
- Save Medicare recipients over $1,000 a year on medical costs
EID gives people with disabilities an incentive to work, by ensuring health coverage even when earnings are substantial.
The monthly premiums for EID range from $0 - $55 – much lower than that of private insurance.

What Will This Webinar Do For You?
If you are a person with a disability, you will learn who is eligible for EID, how to apply, and how the program helps people who receive other benefits.
You will discover how new regulations have changed EID and enabled more people to qualify.
You will find out how much money EID can save you, and how much you can earn without losing your health coverage.
If you are a Medical Assistance service provider, you will find out how you can qualify more of your customers for Medical Assistance so you can get reimbursed for more services.
