2 Understanding If you were facingplease a serious problem, would your visitmedical government health benefits be enough to see you through the long haul? Unfortunately, a great many older adults never bother to look closely at their government entitlements and other benefits before a health emergency occurs. As a result, they may be ill-prepared to meet the financial demands that extended care often places on individuals and families. If you re uncertain about the scope and limitations of your health care benefits, this document will provide some of the basic information you ll need to better evaluate your current and future coverage needs and alternatives. Services Group Understand that most government entitlements are NOT SENIOR SERVICESautomatic. GROUP Reserved 2
3 Understanding Medicare Part please A & B visit s for Your Retirement Years Medicare is a two part program underwritten by the U.S. Department of and Human Services that provides basic hospitalization and medical coverage for people age 65 and over. It also serves people under the age of 65 with certain disabilities. Medicare Part A provides automatic hospital coverage, as long as you have worked at least 10 years in Medicare covered employment. Part B helps cover medical and doctors bills, and helps pay for rental or purchase of necessary medical equipment such as prostheses, wheelchairs and post-surgical supplies. If you qualify for Medicare and have a non working spouse, he or she can also get Medicare Parts A and B at age 65. While Part A is yours free of charge, Part B is considered elective coverage and requires monthly contributions from you. There are also several health care options available to Medicare beneficiaries, which come under the label of Medicare Advantage. Most people receive a Medicare Enrollment Package just prior to reaching their 65th birthday. At that point, they may choose whether or not to opt for Medicare Part B benefits and pay the required premiums for that coverage. If you have reached the age of 65 and have NOT received a Medicare Enrollment Package, you must call your local Social Security Office in order to determine your eligibility. While Part A is yours free of charge, Part B is considered elective coverage PROUD and MEMBERS requires OF THE monthly contributions from you. Services Group Understanding 2015 Rights Programs Reserved 3
4 Understanding Medicare Part please D visit Cost-Effective Prescription Drug s First offered in 2006, Medicare Part D is a prescription drug coverage program available to all Medicare beneficiaries. Under the program, most people who qualify pay reduced or no premiums and deductibles, and lower co-payments for their medications, depending on their incomes and circumstances. Since private health insurance companies administer the program, monthly costs and coverage will also vary according to the company and plan you choose, as well as your state of residence. Premiums are in addition to the Part A and/or Part B premiums you may already be paying. Medicare Advantage Plans Versatile Managed Care Options Approved by Medicare and run by private insurance companies, Medicare Advantage Plans are sometimes called Part C. Managed care plans, like HMOs and PPOs, require that you use the doctors, hospitals and other health care providers who participate in the plans networks in return for more comprehensive coverage. In addition to all Part A and Part B benefits, Advantage plans typically offer extra benefits such as vision, hearing, dental and/or wellness programs. Most also offer Medicare prescription drug coverage options. Plans can charge different co-payments, co-insurance and deductibles, so it s important to check with any plan you re considering before joining. Services Group Reserved 4
5 Understanding Medicaid please visit s for Low Income Households Medicaid is a combined federal-state program usually operated by state welfare or health departments, and designed to furnish several basic services to low-income individuals of all ages. These include inpatient and outpatient hospital care, physicians services, nursing home and laboratory and X-ray services. Under financial hardship, Medicaid may also be used to pay your Medicare premiums, deductibles and co-insurance. Medicaid qualifications vary from state to state and asset limitations are based on whether the individual is single or married. In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a resident of Florida, a U.S. national, citizen or permanent resident in need of healthcare/ insurance assistance, whose financial situation would be characterized as low income. For questions or to apply for Medicaid, please visit Under financial comprehensive rehabilitation, physicians, advanced registered nurse hardship, Medicaid may also be used to pay your Medicare PROUD MEMBERS OF THE premiums, deductibles and co-insurance. Services Group Reserved 5
6 Understanding Choosing Post-Hospital Care please visit If you are covered by Medicare and require a period of rehabilitation or sub-acute care following a hospital stay, you may be surprised to learn that you have many options regarding where you can receive such care. Although many patients believe they are obligated to follow the suggestion of their discharge planner or risk losing coverage, this is not the case. Medicare is accepted by many providers, giving you a broad range of options to select from, without jeopardizing your coverage. As a result, you can generally choose to have post-hospital care in a variety of settings, including: A post-acute, nursing and rehab center An outpatient rehab facility A specialty or sub-acute care center Home care by a visiting therapist Of course, individual needs, capabilities and limitations vary greatly and will largely determine the environment that is safest, most appropriate and will be most effective in producing the best possible rehab results. This is particularly important for the elderly, or those with complex medical conditions, who require a range of integrated clinical, therapeutic and support services, with careful monitoring by experienced staff. If, or when, the time comes, discuss all available options with your hospital discharge planner as well as your personal physician before deciding. Founded in 2003, today Opis ranks the state s leading providers If among you are currently taking prescription medication or think you may in the future, you practitioners and other community-based programs serve seniors and should explore your Part D options.

7 Understanding Long-Term Care Insurance please visit Planning Ahead for Sudden Continuing Care Expenses Many people mistakenly believe that Medicare covers long-term care expenses such as nursing home and home health services. The program only pays short-term benefits for rehab and care in a skilled nursing facility and for part-time skilled nursing visits at home. As for Medicaid, it does not generally pay for long-term care at home or assisted living. If a person needs extended care outside of a nursing home, the only solution may rest with his or her ability to pay privately. That s where long-term care insurance becomes a consideration. Long-term care insurance is designed to pay for sudden, large, continuing healthcare expenses, whether care is provided in a nursing home, hospice, at home or elsewhere. Policies are sold through licensed insurance agents and brokers, and paid for from the policy holder s private funds. It s important to note that coverage is not limited to care for the elderly. As you would expect, premiums are considerably higher for older applicants who are at greater risk. Be an Educated Care Consumer What You Don t Know Can Hurt You Understand that most government entitlements are NOT automatic. You have to apply for them and meet all government requirements for coverage.
