It’s a growing business for insurers. Medicare Advantage open enrollment for 2019 ends Friday. But it’s not easy to use Medicare’s online plan finder to search for plans with expanded benefits, so beneficiaries and their families will have to rely on promotional materials that insurers mail during open enrollment. For years, Medicare has permitted private plans to offer supplemental benefits not covered by the traditional program. Think free gym memberships, transportation to medical appointments or home-delivered meals following a hospitalization. The new benefits take that to a higher level, with Medicare’s blessing. “It is a big concept, in the sense that it is officially encouraging plans to get across the line into the many, many things that affect the health and well-being of beneficiaries,” said Marc Russo, president of insurer Anthem’s Medicare business. “I, for one, who have been in and around Medicare for decades, believe it pays.”

Insurers under Anthem’s corporate umbrella are offering different packages in 12 of 21 states where they operate Medicare plans. They can include alternative medicine, like acupuncture, or adult day care center visits or a personal helper at home. Other major insurers like UnitedHealthcare and Humana are participating. It’s a calculated gamble for insurers, who still have to make a profit. And the limited new benefits are no substitute for full long-term care coverage, which many people need for at least part of their lives and remains prohibitively expensive. Seniors trying to get long-term care through Medicaid, the program for low-income people, must spend down their life savings. “Medicare policy has not kept up with the times,” said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., one of the authors of bipartisan legislation seen as a catalyst for expanded services through Medicare Advantage. Wyden said he’s working to bring similar options to
traditional Medicare. The changes represent a rare consensus at a time when health care issues are among the most politically divisive. Republican and Democratic lawmakers, as well as Seema Verma, the Trump administration’s Medicare chief, are pulling in the same direction. The idea of broader services through Medicare Advantage was embodied in a bipartisan Senate Finance Committee bill to improve care for chronically ill seniors. The Trump administration issued regulations in the spring trying to accelerate the changes. According to Medicare, 12 insurers will be offering expanded supplemental benefits next year through 160 plans in 20 states. In four other states and Puerto Rico, such benefits may be available to seniors with certain health conditions. “The guidance came out fairly late in the annual planning process, and that’s one reason why some of these benefits may start out small,” said Steve Warner, head of Medicare Advantage program development for UnitedHealthcare. Medicare estimates that about 780,000 beneficiaries will have access to the new benefits next year. In-home helpers and support for caregivers are the most popular. Consumer advocates recommend seniors carefully weigh whether Medicare Advantage is best for them. If they don’t like it, they can go back to traditional Medicare, but those with a pre-existing condition may not be able to buy a Medigap policy to help cover out-of-pocket costs. They can also switch to another Medicare Advantage plan. M O N D A Y, D E C E M B E R 3 , 2 0 1 8
What happens to your debts after you die? By SARAH SKIDMORE SELL OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
When you die, you don’t just leave behind your family and your legacy. You also leave behind your debts. But what happens to those debts once you’re gone? In general, your assets and debts become part of an estate. It’s the estate’s responsibility to pay them. If there’s any money left, it goes to your heirs. If there’s not enough money to cover all the debts, they may go unpaid. It can get complicated though, so here are a few things you should know: SETTLING THE ESTATE: A will typically names an executor, who is responsible for settling the financial affairs of the deceased. If there is no will, the state decides who should handle it. That

“There is an awful lot of grey. The last thing people need in this sort of time is vagueness and ambiguity.” ANALYST MATT SCHULTZ, who recommends checking with a lawyer on credit card debt rules, which vary by state person follows a pecking order of who gets paid first, said Greg McBride of Bankrate.com. Secured debts, like mortgage or auto loans, come first; unsecured debts, such as credit cards and medical bills, follow. HOME: Banks expect to continue to be paid for a mortgage or they will take action. But some protections exist for family members or others living in the home, said Chas Rampenthal, general counsel at LegalZoom. Federal law prohibits a bank from automatically foreclosing when a home owner dies. There are also some protections to allow

COLLECTORS: The Federal Trade Commission says family members typically are not obligated to pay the debts of a deceased relative from their own assets. The FTC also says debt collectors are restricted in who they can contact about the debt of the deceased. They’re also prohibited from abusive, unfair or deceptive practices to try to collect a debt. But that doesn’t stop some from trying. Report any problems you have with a debt collector to your state attorney general’s office and the Federal Trade Commission. Many states have their own debt collection laws that are different from the federal rules, so your attorney general’s office can help you determine your rights.

Dec. 7, 1941 — the day our peace was shattered M
emories are slow to fade away, but for those of us who are old enough (older than 85) to remember Dec. 7, 1941, they become fresh every year. We know where we were when we heard President Roosevelt by radio tell the people of the U.S.A. that the military installations at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, had been disastrously and tragically bombed by the Japanese air force. Our country had been aiding allies across both oceans for a few years. There were many servicemen and -women already aiding countries in the East and West, but the U.S. was never at war. War was declared against Japan on Dec. 8 and against Germany on Dec. 10. Military service increased by
enlistments and drafting. Men and machines were deployed worldwide. The Pearl Harbor disaster began nearly four years of sensational patriotism for all citizens of our country — military and civilian. We all helped the war effort, and our food was rationed and there were few creature comforts. By May 1945 in Europe and August in Japan, peaceful negotiations were in place and World War II was over! Sad to say other wars have come and gone, but we are all needed. We need to work, hope and pray for a peace in our town, peace in our country and peace in our world. Thank you to all veterans.

Downs talked his father into stopping. The boy ran to the barn to look for his treasured toy, but the figurine was gone, and the new owners said they hadn’t seen it. Almost eight decades passed, but Downs always remembered Chief and would later tell his son-in-law, Randy Harper of Lewiston, about the long-lost toy. He must have described it perfectly, because a few months later Harper showed up with a box that held an exact replica of Downs’ childhood companion, right down to a sharp point on the base. Harper had found the toy during an online search and ordered it as a surprise. “It was unbelievable,” Downs said. “It had to have come out of the exact same mold. I distinctly remember the sharp edge because I sanded it off when I was a little boy.” The special gift is once again a fixture in Downs’

> DEC. 12 Vera Schumacher, 91
Vera Schumacher was born in 1927 to Tony and Lizzy Wessels in Greencreek. In 1946, she married her lifelong partner and best friend, Anselm Schumacher. Together they built their life on the farm, which included five sons (Jim, Ted, Mike, Jerry and Greg) and three daughters (Jeanne, Dee and Donna). As a lifelong Catholic, teaching religion to the children for the church and the community offered Vera pride and gratification as she fulfilled this special calling in life.
Vera loved to travel with Anselm and friends. They were able to go many places and see different sites including Germany, Alaska, New Orleans and Washington, D.C., and they had several cruise adventures. Vera loves to cook and bake, whether it be for family holidays, harvest dinners or just cookies for her cookie jar. She has the unique skill of creating something tasty and nourishing out of almost nothing, and everybody is always invited. From sewing patches on worn jeans to spring cleaning, Vera keeps herself very busy. Friends and family (including
23 grandchildren, 39 great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild) will help her celebrate. To submit birthdays: Birthday announcements starting at age 70 and every year after will be accepted for free publication in the month of the birthday only. Length limit is 200 words. All submissions must include the name and contact information of the person submitting information. Current photos are welcome — please no dated pictures. To have photos returned, please include a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Submissions may be sent to goldentimes@lmtribune.com or Golden Times, P.O. Box 957, Lewiston, ID 83501.

What are common symptoms of rotator cuff injury? Rotator cuff tears are a common injury of the shoulder. The shoulder is a ball and socket joint with the arm (humerus) meeting a shallow socket. The shallow Levi Frasier, PT socket is a part of the shoulder blade (scapula). The rotator cuff is made up of 4 muscles including the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis and the teres minor. All 4 muscles help to support the shoulder joint at rest and with activity. With movement and under normal conditions, the rotator cuff contracts and sinks into the socket. Rotator cuff muscles and tendons can be injured due to repeated activity or from sudden impact such as falls. With repeated activity the tendons can be damaged and result if fraying of the tendon. Tears can be partial or complete which will impact how the joint is able to move in the socket resulting in disability. Common symptoms of rotator cuff injuries can include shoulder pain, stiffness and weakness. It may impact your ability to lift your arm above shoulder height and can impact sleep tolerance. Lifting will likely be difficult with normal activities of daily living. Dressing, washing your hair and tucking in your shirt may be impacted. Recovery can be a several week process beginning with avoidance of painful activity, restoring pain free motion, improving strength of supporting structures and eventually the impacted structure, impacting postural awareness, and stretching as needed. We can assist you in Relieving Pain and Restoring Function. Please contact the Institute of Physical Therapy today for an evaluation and treatment with a skilled physical therapist.

Achieving self-support: Guidelines on returning to the workforce W
ork means different things to different people, but it can give you a sense of self, a community to rely on, and much-needed structure. Some people define themselves through their careers, while others enjoy the social aspect of their jobs. If you rely on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments and want to start working or return to work, we can help. A plan for achieving self-support (PASS) is a plan for your future. This plan lets you use your income or resources you own to help you reach your work goals. You could set aside money to go to school and get specialized training for a job or to start a business. The job that you want should allow
COMMENTARY
Nicole Tiggemann you to earn enough to reduce or eliminate your need for payments provided under the SSI program. You can have a plan if: l You want to work. l You get SSI (or can qualify for SSI by having this plan) because you have a disability or are blind. l You have other income and/ or resources to use to get a job or start a business. A PASS can even help you receive or keep SSI or could mean a higher payment. Under SSI rules,
any income that you have may reduce your SSI payment. But, if you have an approved plan, you can use that income to pay for the items you need to reach your work goal. We don’t count money set aside under this plan when we decide your SSI payment amount. This means you may get a higher SSI payment. However, you can’t get more than the maximum SSI payment for the state where you live. A PASS can also help you set aside money for most work expenses. With an approved plan, you can set aside money to pay expenses to reach your work goal. You can read all about what work expenses are covered and more at www.socialsecurity.gov/
pubs/EN-05-11017.pdf. The plan must be in writing, and Social Security must approve it. To start, contact your local Social Security office for an application (Form SSA-545-BK). You can access this form at www. socialsecurity.gov/forms/ssa-545. html. Your job isn’t just a source of income — it can be a vehicle to independence or a beginning to fulfilling your dreams. Let Social Security’s Plan for Achieving Self-Support help you achieve your goals. Tiggemann is a Social Security spokeswoman. Her column is distributed by Tribune News Service.
