Frauds, Scams, and Seniors The fear of, running out of money and the appeal of a windfall “get rich quick” opportunity make older adults vulnerable to tricksters, scammers and con criminals. Here are the five common scams against seniors: 1. Prizes and sweepstakes scams: A senior is told he or she has won a sweepstakes, and receives a fake check for $10,000 with instructions to deposit the money and send back $3,000 to cover taxes. By the time the senior learns the deposited check is no good, his or her money is lost. 2. Home improvement frauds: A fraudulent repairman will offer to fix an obvious problem; they’ll “fake’ the repair and charge a “low senior rate.” Worse, if you pay “half” in advance you’ll never see the repairman again. 3. “Phishing” schemes: A “financial institution” calls, saying some-

one is trying to use your credit, so your personal information must be verified. You give them your Social Security, credit card, and bank account numbers. They use this to steal money from you. (NEVER give information like this to ANYONE – see #5 below) 4. Internet fraud: A senior who is unfamiliar with use of the Internet can unwittingly give a credit card number to a scammer. 5. Identity theft: NEVER give your birth date and Social Security number to a stranger in person or on the phone; It’s likely a scam. Ed note: Excerpts taken from a Home Instead Senior Care article.

Care and consideration is given to the patient’s family as well during this difficult period. The emphasis is on comfort, not curing. It can be provided in the patient’s home as well as freestanding hospice facilities, hospitals, nursing homes and other long-term care facilities.

Medicare Plain and Simple Medicare has four basic parts – Parts A, B, C and D. It is our goal that, as you read this short article, your questions about what each part does will be answered. This article is not intended to answer detailed “what if--?” questions, rather it will define each by their basic purposes. Medicare Part A: This is hospitalization insurance. You have to be admitted to a hospital to receive benefits. Generally this pays 80% of your bill after you pay a deductible. Some medical equipment prescribed by a physician is covered (80%) as well. You get this insurance when you receive Social Security, or if under 65, 100% disabled. It is part of your benefit; you pay no additional insurance premium. Medicare Part B: This is medical

insurance that pays 80% of doctors visits and certain other matters. You pay a premium for this; it is deducted from your monthly Social Security income. You still have a 20% co-pay, and you must go to a physician that takes Medicare. Medicare Part C: This is called Medicare Advantage. It is operated by healthcare insurers such as Blue Cross Blue Shield, Healthspring, and Humana. It takes the place of Medicare Part A and B. If you choose one of these companies as your healthcare provider, you have to use the doctors, hospitals and other medically-associated services provided by your Medicare Advantage Plan. Generally, these companies provide more services than Medicare, such as fixed co-payments instead of a percentage of the cost and (Continued on page 16)

Medicare Plain and Simple (cont.) certain dental benefits. Each provider has their own benefits, so study what they provide and choose according to what is best for you. Your premium is the Part B premium you would otherwise pay to Medicare – it comes out of your Social Security check. Medicare Part D: This is a Prescription Drug benefit. It covers part of your prescriptions according to a specified limit. Before you sign onto a Part D Plan, be certain they provide the drugs you take. The list of medicines, called a “formulary,” is revised annually. Also, study the limits of the plan to know if it’s the best deal for you. You pay a premium for this; it is deducted from your monthly Social Security payment. Additional insurance associated with healthcare are called Medicare Supplement Plans. Generally, this insurance covers all or part of the 20% co-pay you have with Medicare. It is not a Medicare Plan, it is an insurance policy with certain specifications to cover your co-pays.

If you want a Medicare Part C Plan, you must ask a salesperson for it. This may sound silly, however that’s the basic law. If someone phones you and asks to come over and show you their Plan, it’s illegal; That’s why you will see advertisements for seminars where seniors gather to hear about this. When you attend a seminar, arrange an appointment with a salesperson to sign-up, in person, for the Plan. When can you sign-up for these Plans? Three months before you reach your 65th birthday, during that month, and three months afterward your birthday month. Once you commit to a Plan you must stay with it until the “open enrollment period” late in the calendar year, or if you qualify for “special election” such as moving to an area your plan does not serve, or you qualify for certain assistance.

Geriatric Behavioral Health – Help is Readily Available Did you know that a Senior Citizen’s mental, or behavioral, health has positive or negative effects on their physical health? Whether its pain issues, cardiovascular health or some other medical conditions, maintaining good behavioral health can significantly improve recovery time from illness and continued wellbeing. Just as specific treatments are given for physical injury, specific mental health programs are designed for seniors; it’s important to get the appropriate type of treatment for geriatric behavioral health. Sometimes a senior’s behavioral health issues may be addressed on an outpatient basis based on what the doctor orders. Outpatient programs may be primarily based on group therapy. During group therapy, licensed health professionals lead the group by setting appropriate topics for group discussion and encourage members to participate. Group therapy is effective because a participant interacts with others in a structured setting that promotes a better understanding of their issues. Seniors share their thoughts and experiences, learning from each other with the guidance of the group leader. Social interaction helps the senior to talk and socialize with others who may have similar experiences. In addition to group therapy, the senior may also receive individual, family or marital therapy if ordered by the doctor. Outpatient Programs may meet a senior’s behavioral health needs without requiring more intensive care such as hospitalization. If a senior citizen’s behavioral health needs cannot be met on an

outpatient basis, behavioral health treatment in a hospital is available. Each patient has a goal oriented plan detailing how the hospital, patient and family will work together to reach treatment goals, resulting in discharge from the hospital. A senior may need this type of treatment due to thoughts of self-harm, not wanting to live, depression, anxiety, or medication management issues. One of the greatest benefits of acute inpatient care is the 24 hour controlled environment while behavioral health issues are addressed. How does someone go about requesting behavioral health care? The first step is a phone call to a geriatric behavioral health provider, and an assessment by a healthcare professional. Strict laws regarding rights to privacy protect all conversations and treatment by behavioral health professionals and health care facilities. Your confidentiality is protected by law, so if you feel that you or a loved one may benefit from these services call a geriatric behavioral health provider today.
