Q&A with Barry Kelly
I want to be proactive about my health. What preventive services should I be taking advantage of with Medicare?
Answer: Staying healthy starts with prevention. If you have Traditional Medicare, a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan, or a Medicare Advantage plan, you may qualify for a variety of preventive services — often at no cost to you!
These may include:
Annual wellness visits
Flu and pneumonia shots
Screenings for heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers
Routine lab work and preventive counseling
Regular preventive care helps you detect issues early and maintain your best health year-round. Contact your agent and they can help you understand which benefits your plan offers.
Can Medicare help cover in-home care for dementia patients who wander or need supervision 24/7?
Answer: Yes, Medicare can help with in home care. Depending on the stage of dementia, Medicare may cover up to 35 hours per week. Other plans such as supplement and advantage plans may add additional benefits.
