What You Need to Know About Medicare

Oct. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- The Society of Certified Senior Advisors has released an updated version of the BASICS brochure. BASICS answers some of the most often-asked questions about Social Security, Medicare, Medicare Supplements, Medicaid, senior housing, in-home care and long-term care insurance. This informative and easy-to-read, 38-page booklet was inspired by our Certified Senior Advisors (CSAs), who have taken the time to learn about the complexity of aging and how to help seniors find the tools to navigate that journey.

Excerpt from BASICS:

“Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) helps cover inpatient hospital care. Part A also helps cover skilled nursing facility care (following a 3-night hospital stay and discharge to a Medicare approved skilled nursing facility.) Medicare also covers hospice and home health care if certain conditions are met.”

BASICS will answer all your latest questions on Medicare, including:
1.  What do Medicare Parts A, B, C and D cover?
2.  What should I know about Medicare Advantage plans?
3.  How does the Part D (Medicare prescription coverage) plan work?
4.  I am retired and on Medicare. If I go back to work, will my earnings affect my Medicare eligibility?
5.  and much more

This guide is available electronically or in printed format for Certified Senior Advisors only. CSAs can use this to pass along to their senior clients. This critical information will not only help them to age well but will genuinely make a difference in their lives.  To view a sample of this full color brochure, please visit http://www.csa.us/store
