Kevin J. Malone, Senior Counsel, will co-present "Nuts and Bolts of Medicare and Medicaid 2020," a half day event hosted by the Practising Law Institute (PLI).

At some point in life, most Americans will qualify for either Medicare or Medicaid, or have friends or loved ones who do. Yet, few understand how the two government health care programs work. Whether working with clients who may benefit from Medicare or Medicaid; working with health care providers, hospitals, pharmacies, or health insurance providers who are compensated by Medicare of Medicaid; or simply want to learn the basics, this program gives a firm understanding of how these important government programs work.
