Description: Daniel Fortuño is the Founder and Executive Director of Options: A Benefits Training Foundation.

• How individuals living with disabilities may be able to enroll in and access private health coverage through employment, unions, and associations?
• What pre-existing condition exclusionary periods are for private health coverage?
• How individuals may be able to use previous coverage to reduce pre-existing condition exclusionary periods for private health coverage?
