News: Case Management Services MEDICARE AND OPT-OUT DOCTORS Doctors do not have to accept Medicare. An opt-out doctor does not accept Medicare at all. Opt-out Doctors can charge Medicare patients whatever they want. They don’t submit any health care claims to Medicare. They are not subject to the Medicare laws that limit the amount that doctors can charge. When you see an opt-out doctor, you pay the entire cost of your care, unless it’s an emergency or you need urgent care. Generally, Medicare does not pay for health care services from an opt-out-doctor. If your doctor has officially opted out of Medicare, he/she must have you sign a private contract to receive care from a doctor who has opted out of Medicare. If you sign this contract, you are responsible for the full cost of services you receive from the opt-out-doctor. You cannot get Medicare reimbursement for services received from an Opt-out doctor. If a doctor has opted out of Medicare and does not ask you to sign a private contract before providing you with Medicare-covered health care services, you will not have to pay anything for health care services received. Your doctor must refund you any money you’ve already paid for those services. If you have Original Medicare, the traditional Medicare program offered directly through the federal government, you will pay the least for doctor’s services if you see a doctor who accepts Medicare and takes assignment. That doctor accepts Medicare’s approved amount as full payment for health care services. Make sure your doctor accepts Medicare and takes assignment. You can also call 800-MEDICARE or visit www.medicare.gov to find doctors who accept Medicare and take assignment. If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan, also known as a Medicare private health plan,
you should see doctors within your plan’s network. You typically pay the least if you go to a doctor that is in the plan’s network. Check with your plan to see what rules apply. (This article was taken from “Dear Marci” Medicare Rights Center-Getting Medicare Right; Volume 12, Issue 7, April 8, 3013.)
FARM MARKET VOUCHERS June 10th, 2013 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM Stoughton Area Senior Center Eligibility for vouchers include: Proof of your age, residence and income level.

TIPS FOR MAKING LIFE EASIER ·
·
·
When you have weak hands/fingers, picking an egg out of a carton is easy if you first wet your fingers. If you find a drinking glass hard to hold onto, make it easier to grip by putting a terry cloth wristband around it. The terry cloth will absorb moisture and provide a better surface to hold the glass securely. If you have a diminished sense of smell or taste, put the dates on leftovers before you put them in the refrigerator.

News: Case Management Services WELCOME NEW FRIENDS! SENIOR CENTER OPEN HOUSE
IN THE HOSPITAL? BE AWARE OF YOUR STATUS If you are on Medicare and go to the hospital, make sure of your status. Ask if you have been admitted or are there for observation. Hospitals are failing to admit seniors and putting their status as being observed. Why does it matter? It could matter to your pocketbook: Medicare requires a 3-day hospital admission to cover the costs of any posthospitalization nursing home stay. If you have been in the hospital under observation, Medicare will not cover the cost of time you may need to spend in a nursing facility. If you have not been admitted to the hospital for 3 days, the whole nursing home bill will be your responsibility. Also, it is unlikely your supplemental insurer will help. If you have been admitted to a hospital, the costs are covered by Medicare Part A (hospital insurance). If you are at the hospital under observation the costs fall under Medicare Part B (doctor’s services and outpatient care). For some patients, this can mean paying more out of pocket to cover hospital bills. Check your status each day you are at the hospital. If told you are under observation, talk to your doctor.
Yes....You Can Join Us! Beginning in June we are inviting all those who do not regularly come to the Stoughton Area Senior Center to join us at our Welcome New Friends Open House.

Welcome New Friends Open Dates: June 18th, September 17th, November 19th at 6:30 pm. There are no membership fees or residency requirements to participate in the programs at the Stoughton Area Senior Center. There are age and residency requirements for certain services including case management services, transportation, and meals on wheels.

Kitchen Corner
Eat Right: Food, Nutrition, and Health Tips from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Eating Right for Older Adults
Make half your plate fruits and vegetables. Eat a variety of vegetables, especially dark green, red and orange vegetables plus beans and peas. Fresh, frozen and canned vegetables all count. Choose “reduced sodium” or “no-salt-added” canned vegetables. Add fruit to meals and snacks. Buy fruits that are dried, frozen or canned in water or 100% juice, as well as fresh fruits.
Make at least half your grains whole. Choose 100% whole-grain breads, cereals, crackers, pasta and brown rice. Also, look for fiber-rich cereals to help stay regular.
Enjoy your food but eat less. Most older adults need fewer calories than in younger years. Avoid oversized portions. Try using a smaller plate, bowl and glass. Cook more often at home, where you are in control of what’s in your food. When eating out, choose lower calorie menu options. Choose dishes that include vegetables, fruits and whole grains. When portions are large, share a meal or take half home for later. Write down what you eat to keep track of how much you eat.
Be physically active your way. Pick activities that you like and start by doing what you can. Every bit adds up and health benefits increase as you spend more time being active. If you are currently inactive, start with a few minutes of activity such as walking. Gradually increase the minutes as you become stronger.
Switch to fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt and cheese. Older adults need more calcium and vitamin D to help keep bones healthy. Include three servings of fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt or cheese each day. If you are lactose intolerant, try lactose-free milk or a calcium-fortified soy beverage.
Vary your protein choices. Eat a variety of foods from the protein food group each week, such as seafood, nuts, and beans and peas, as well as lean meat, poultry and eggs.
Cut back on sodium and empty calories from solid fats and added sugars. Look out for salt (sodium) in foods you buy. Compare sodium in foods and choose those with lower numbers. Add spices or herbs to season food without adding salt. Make major sources of saturated fats such as desserts, pizza, cheese, sausages and hot dogs occasional choices, not every day foods. Switch from solid fats to oils when preparing food. Drink water instead of sugary drinks. Select fruit for dessert. Eat sugary desserts less often.
