Coverage gaps

Many Medicare beneficiaries need glasses, hearing aids and dental work, but Medi-care typically won’t pay for any of these services. And if your health deteriorates to the point where you need ex-tensive long-term care, Medicare will pick up the tab for only a very limited amount of time and under specific circumstances. Here’s a look at some com-monly needed medical ser-vices that Medicare doesn’t pay for. Dental care

Medicare doesn’t pay for rou-tine dental cleanings and fill-ings. Dentures and other types of dental devices aren’t covered either. Medicare Part A might pay for certain den-tal services received while hospitalized during an emer-gency. Hearing aids

Medicare won’t pay for a hearing aid or the exam re-quired to select and fit an ap-propriate device. However,

Medicare could cover a hear-ing and balance exam if your doctor determines it’s neces-sary. Routine eye examinations

Vision checks for the pur-pose of prescribing glasses and contact lenses are not covered by Medicare. How-ever, eye exams and tests may be covered by Medicare Part B for people with specif-ic conditions, such as an an-nual glaucoma test for high-risk retirees, a yearly eye ex-am for diabetic retinopathy and tests and treatments for age-related macular degen-eration.

The Topic for this month is Pensions. We have had several calls on this recently. Currently the V.A. offers two types of pen-sion, A Veterans Pension and a Survivors Pension.

For a veteran to be eligible for a pension there are some con-ditions that must be met. General-ly the veteran must have served 90 days of active duty service, with at least one day during a wartime period. If you entered service after September 7, 1980 generally you must have served 24 months, or the full period for witch you were called or ordered to active duty ( with some excep-tions), with at least one day dur-ing a wartime period. Further you must meet one or more of the fol-lowing requirements: Age 65 or older, OR Totally and permanent-ly disabled, OR A patient in a nursing home receiving skilled nursing care, OR Receiving So-cial Security Disability Insurance,

OR Receiving Supplemental Security Income.

The Survivors Pension also re-ferred to as the Death Pension, is a tax free monetary benefit payable to a un-remarried surviving spouse and /or un-married child (ren) of a deceased Veter-an with wartime service. The veteran must have met the above requirements plus must have been discharged under other than dishonorable conditions. While an un-remarried spouse is eligi-ble at any age, a child must be; Under 18, OR under the age of 23 if attending a V.A. approved school, OR perma-nently disabled before age 18.

Both pensions are income de-pendent. As always if you have any questions please feel free to contact us here in the Veterans Service Office, (541) 573-1342.

Routine foot care

Medicare Part B will cover medically necessary podia-trist services for foot injuries, including hammer toes, bun-ions and heel spurs. Howev-er, Medicare won’t cover rou-tine foot care such as the re-moval of corns and calluses, nail maintenance or foot cleaning. Foot exams and treatments could be covered for those with diabetes or other specific conditions. Acupuncture

This Chinese medicine pro-cedure involves inserting needles into the skin at spe-cific places on the body and is thought to relieve various ailments. However, Medicare

Continued from page 1…..

10 Medical Services Medicare Doesn’t Cover won’t pay for acupuncture treatments. Care received outside the U.S.

Medicare typically won’t cov-er health care received in an-other country. However, there are a couple of rare instances when Medicare will pay, such as if a foreign hospital is clos-er than the nearest U.S. hos-pital for a beneficiary injured in the U.S. or if you receive emergency medical services in Canada while traveling be-tween Alaska and the conti-nental U.S. Personal care

If you need to hire help for bathing, dressing or getting out of bed, Medicare typical-ly won’t cover the cost. Med-

icare also generally won’t pay for housekeeping services, such as help with shopping, meals delivered to your home or 24-hour assistance at home. Long-term care

Medicare will pay for a short-term stay at a nursing facility if it follows a hospital stay of three or more days. While

We continue our 50/50 fund-raiser at every congregate meal. This money goes to purchase 4-H animals at the fair every year. We try to purchase a lamb, a pig and a steer each if we have enough money collected and donated specifically for the 4-H animals and Feed a Senior Project. Any and all donations for 4-H/FFA ani-mal purchases are greatly appreciated. We are proud to support our kids and feed our seniors!

THE 4-H FAIR AUCTION RESULTS!

The 4-H/FFA Auction this year was a great

success for us! A HUGE shout out to eve-

ryone who donated towards the Feed a

Senior Project. Not only was the Senior

Center itself able to purchase a lamb, a

pig and a steer with our fundraising efforts

but we received so many donations from

local businesses and individuals!!!

Our final tally shows the Senior Center re-

ceived a total of 22 pigs, 10 beef, 12

lambs, and 4 goats. The value of these

animals was over $101,973!! What a won-

derful way to support our local youth and

provide our seniors with locally grown,

farm fresh meat! The kitchen will be able

to provide so many nutritious and delicious

meals this year. Thanks to everyone for

their support.
