The program is a joint effort by Medicare and United Healthcare to provide extra benefits for people who have low in- comes (Medicaid Level) and are also on Medicare. The people who will qualify for this program are either over 65 and low income or under 65 with a disability for at least 2 years and have both Medicare and Medicaid.

There is no charges or cost to the consumer for this program. It can be a life changer for the recipients. Some of the benefits included in this program are:

Transportations services - 48 one-way trips up to 50 miles for medical or pharmacy visits

Dental - $1,500 benefit to use for cleanings, crowns, fillings, root canals, etc.

Vision Benefit – provides $225 in addition to what Medicaid provides for glasses or con- tacts.

Hearing Benefit - $2,500 every two years to use for hearing aids.

Health Products Catalog - $800 a year/$200 per quarter to spend in this catalog. In- cludes Items you would find in a drug store or medical supply company.

Silver Sneakers – Free gym Membership or if a gym is not close by they will send you some small equipment and provide a work-out regimen for you to do at home. (YMCA)

Nurses line – a Nurse is available for members to call 24 hours a day 7 Days. Members can call concerning their health or the health of any one in their household.

Podiatrist Visits – Not covered by Medicare or Medicaid but this plan allows 4 visits per year.

Continue to next page Personal Emergency Response system – “Help I’ve Fallen and I can’t get up” type pendant can even tell if person wearing it has fallen. The pendant is free and there is no cost for the monitoring. A doctor will need to notate that the patient would benefit from such a device before one will be issued to a member.

House calls – A nurse or a nurse practitioner will visit the member and spend about 45 minutes in their home to assess what type of care would best benefit the member. The nurse makes recommendations to both the member and to their primary care doctor. There will also be follow up calls to encourage the member to follow the recommendations.

This is a Medicare advantage plan offered by United Healthcare. The plan has no premium or co pays. If someone has Medicare and Medicaid this plan provides several extra benefits all at no charge in addition to what they already receive from Medicare and Medicaid. The Plan is an RPPO which means the beneficiary is not limited to a network of doctors but can go where needed for services. So why doesn’t everyone with Medicare and Medicaid have this type of plan? The answer is because they are not aware of it. The plan is unique and it is brand new to your area. My job is make people aware of it and help people enroll into the plan.

The first question I usually get when I present this program to people is it seems too good to be true. This is one of those rare instances where everyone involved benefits. The Recipient gets exactly what they receive already with Medicare and Medicaid plus 10 other additional benefits. The insurance company, United Healthcare in this case, gets paid by Medicare to administer the Medicare benefits. Medicaid simply provides the benefits it already does but these benefits are supplemented by the plan. I get paid for everyone who enrolls into the plan. Doctors and Dentist can do more services for the client and receive payment for those services which they would not receive with just Medicare and Medicaid. It is truly a win-win for everyone.

The biggest challenge is finding these qualifying individuals and educating them about the program. That is where you come in. If you know of individuals who fit these criteria, please let me know and I will be happy to assist them with enrollment into the plan.

Please look at the plan details included in this booklet and share them with your clients. If your client would like to learn more about the plan I can meet with them in your facility, at their home or meet in them the location they choose. Please see below for My contact information.

Mr. Rob Leonard will be at Pamlico Senior Services on June 12, 2018 at 10:00am To talk about this, everyone is welcome to come Dear Volunteers, A lot of time and effort goes into Pamlico Senior Services to help the seniors and community.
