Caregivers as Partners and Patients: Advancing Access with the ASAP Act
Family caregivers are at the center of nearly every healthcare journey, yet their voices are too often missing from the policies that shape healthcare access, affordability, and innovation. Join the National Alliance for Caregiving as we launch our new Healthcare Access, Affordability & Innovation Policy Agenda and learn how policy can better support family caregivers as essential care partners and as current and future patients.
This webinar will feature a focused discussion of the Accelerating Access to Support for Alzheimer's Patients (ASAP) Act, bipartisan legislation that seeks to expand Medicare coverage for FDA-authorized early detection screening tests for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, including blood-based biomarker tests. Learn why earlier detection matters, not only for individuals living with dementia, but also for family caregivers, who benefit from more time to understand a diagnosis, participate in care decisions, plan for future needs, and connect with resources and supports.
