Health Access Project Intern

Description: 

Lenox Hill Neighborhood House, widely recognized as one of New York’s premier human services providers, is a 123-year-old settlement house that provides an extensive array of effective and integrated services--social, educational, legal, health, housing, mental health, nutritional and fitness--which significantly improve the lives of thousands of people in need each year, ages 3 to 103, on the East Side of Manhattan. Our clients include older adults, homeless and formerly homeless adults, children and families, recent immigrants, disabled persons and more. For more information, please visit our website at www.lenoxhill.org or our Facebook page.

Reporting to our Legal Advocate, the intern will have a unique opportunity to participate in a Medicare Pro Bono Project to improve healthcare access to low income seniors. The intern will learn about Medicare and gain a unique experience in alleviating healthcare disparities through working closely with our health care team on enrollment in Medicare Advantage Plans and Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plans. The Intern will conduct client intake interviews, schedule appointments, draft letters, follow-up with clients and help screen clients for eligibility for health insurance assistance programs.
