Medicare was signed into law in1965 by President Lyndon Johnson.The bill-signing took place in Inde-pendence, Missouri, at the TrumanLibrary, in recognition of the rolePresident Truman had played increating a health insurance system.Mr. Truman was given the firstMedicare card and his wife, Bess,the second.

Today, Medicare provides healthcoverage to those 65 and older aswell as to those under 65 who arepermanently disabled.

It was left to another president fromTexas, George W. Bush, to sign theMedicare Modernization Act in 2003.That set into motion the prescriptiondrug benefit known as Part D.

It is hard to remember how con-troversial the passage of Medicarewas in its day. During much of the

20th century, presidents had tried toget some form of health coverageenacted. Opponents ranged frompoliticians to insurance companiesto the American Medical Associa-tion.

Today, Medicare is considered asuccess story by most and few sen-iors would give it up. Even thosewho do not favor government-runhealth care say “Don’t touch myMedicare!”

Medicare and Part D are compli-cated and often difficult to under-stand. The Open Enrollment periodfor changing plans has been movedup from November to October anddecisions need to be made sooner.With this edition of “Forever Young,”we hope to help you understandthe choices.

Also, Jeff Feasel, head of HalifaxHealth, talks about the future ofMedicare and healthcare in VolusiaCounty.

A MEDICAREPRIMER

By Shelley KoppelAssociate News Editor

See PRIMER, 4

This is a very big year for Baby Boomers.The very first group, those born in 1946,turn 65 this year. In 2011, Some 10,000 aday will reach that milestone.

Turning 65 makes every citizen eligiblefor Medicare, but don’t expect your red,white and blue card to arrive on yourdoorstep just because you celebrate abirthday. You have to apply.

“Getting Medicare is not automatic,”said Mark Tellier, administrator of Day-tona-area senior services for the Councilon Aging of Volusia County. “For threemonths prior to your 65th birthday, yourbirthday month and three months after,you can apply. If you go in late, your pre-mium goes up.”

Medicare is financed by a portion ofthe payroll taxes paid by workers andemployers and, in part, by monthly pre-miums you will have deducted from your

Social Security checks.Medicare is divided into four parts:

Part A, hospital insurance; Part B, medicalinsurance, including doctor’s visits andoutpatient testing; Part C, MedicareAdvantage; and Part D, prescription drugcoverage.

Jeff Johnson, interim state director forthe AARP, said that each has a separaterole.

“Medicare Part A and B are sometimesreferred to as “Original Medicare,” he said.“Most people have this. It’s the traditionalprogram run by the federal government.Original Medicare covers 80 percent of thecost of most services that you need, butdoes not cover the full cost of your care.”

Part C is often referred to as MedicareAdvantage and is an HMO. You must haveParts A and B to enroll in Part C. Youreceive all of your health care services

through a provider organization.The costs may be lower and theremay be additional benefits, but youare usually required to use plan doc-tors and hospitals. The plan mayhave drug coverage.

Part D is the prescription drugcoverage. It is provided by privateinsurance companies and you pay apremium as you would for any otherinsurance.

Mr. Tellier of the Council onAging noted that there were severalchanges for 2011.

“Starting in Jan. 2011, Medicarerecipients will pay nothing for mostpreventive services if you get theservices from a doctor who acceptsMedicare assignment,” he said. “Inaddition, you can get a wellnessexam each year.”

In addition to the exam, manypreventive screening tests are nowcovered, including flu shots, screen-ing mammograms, prostate exams,

cardiovascular disease screening,bone mass measurements, glauco-ma testing and colorectal cancerscreening. Some of the screeningsmay have limitations and includeonly those with a family history of acondition.

Many Medicare recipients decidethat while Medicare pays for a lot ofcare, there is still a substantialamount that is not covered. Forexample, under Part B, after thedeductible for the year is met, youpay 20 percent of the amountMedicare approves for the service.That includes each doctor’s visit andtest.

Many Medicare recipientsdecide to purchase a supplementalplan, often referred to as Medigap.

These are sold by private insurersand are often advertised on televi-sion.

Jackie Kersh, a volunteer withSHINE, a program of the FloridaDepartment of Elder Affairs thathelps seniors navigate the Medicaresystem, noted another change. In thepast, Medicare recipients were onlyable to join a new plan or changeplans during an enrollment period inNovember and December.

“That’s the big change,” she said.“Beginning this year, they can changeplans from Oct. 15-Dec. 7. It doesn’trun into Christmas. A lot of peoplewere putting it off and they got busyand didn’t get the changes made thatthey should have. They need to startthinking about it sooner.”

Getting help

Navigating the Medicare shoalscan be tricky and it is a good idea toplan.

“When you’re about to celebrateyour 65th birthday, it’s very impor-tant that you take the time to thinkthrough your Medicare coverage,”said Dave Bruns, AARP Florida’scommunication manager. “Sign uppromptly and make sure you doyour research on the options avail-able to you. It can take a while tosort through this complicated issueand make the right choices, but youshould take as much time as youneed.”

There are many resources avail-able to help make informed choices.The first, if you already receiveMedicare, is the handbook,Medicare & You, sent to each recipi-ent at the beginning of the year. It isparticularly helpful in letting recipi-ents know about any changes incoverage and cost and the basics of

The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improve-ment and Modernization Act of 2003 is com-monly known as Medicare Part D. It is the pre-scription drug component of Medicare and itis available to Medicare recipients who havePart A or Part B.

While under the Medicare umbrella, Part Dis more like traditional insurance. Medicarerecipients must choose a plan, run by aninsurance company. To do so, it’s necessary tofind out which plans are available in your areaand then compare the cost for the drugs youtake. If you belong to Medicare Advantage, itmay have a prescription benefit with it.

If this sounds complicated, it is.If you do not take any prescrip-tion drugs, you might betempted to skip Part D.However, unless you havegood drug coveragefrom a present or for-mer employer, youwill pay a penalty fornot enrolling whenyou are first eligible.

That penalty will continue for as long as youhave Part D.

Choosing a Plan

Those with access to a computer can findhelp at the Medicare websitewww.medicare.gov. It is a little daunting, butby indicating where you live and what medica-tions you take, a list of plans available to you,with the premiums, will appear. You can com-pare them online. For further information,you can contact each insurer independently to

Q. The fact that the first babyboomers will turn 65 this year haspeople worried about an over-taxed Medicare and health caresystem. Do you believe that weare in danger? Why or why not?

A. I don’t know if I would use theword danger, but it would be fool-ish to think that we should not payattention to it. It doesn’t take thebaby boomers growing older andneeding more health care to real-ize health care is becoming a larg-er and larger portion of our grossdomestic product. And if that’sreason for us to be concerned, OK.Being aware is the first step, butI’m not so sure it is something that

should alarm us. The question weneed to ask ourselves is, “Are wewilling to spend more money onhealth care?” I’m not apologizingfor health care being a bigger partof the GDP. What is more impor-tant than our lives and our health?I think we need to focus on pro-viding better health outcomes.And, how do we achieve thosebetter outcomes with the moneywe are spending? How do we cre-ate a better value equation? Weneed to demand greater value forthe money that we are spendingnow. Also, what we need to focusmore on is prevention and educa-tion.

The insurance companiesknew that I was gettingold long before I did.

They also knew I was goingto be confused — at leastabout Medicare.

When I was in my late 50’sand considered myself to bemiddle aged (if I was going tolive to 116) they began send-ing me offers for Medicaresupplemental insuranceplans. At first I thought that ithad to be some kind of mis-take. I was nowhere near theage when I would be eligiblefor Medicare, besides I wasn’teven sure what Medicare was.I certainly didn’t know why Iwould need to supplement itwith special insurance.

As things will happen, Ibarely had time to ponderthose questions before I hadturned 62. Now I could get

back some of the money I hadbeen paying in to SocialSecurity for all of my workinglife. Personally, I considered ita just reward for havingsurvived the ‘60s and ‘70s. Assoon as the great eagle begandropping a check on me eachmonth the Medicare supple-ment companies kicked theirgame into overdrive. Each daymy mailbox would be filledwith offers that came in theform of very official lookingdocuments. I still had no clueas to what it was or why Ineeded it but I figured itwould all become clear when I

did become Medicare eligible. Wrong, bran muffin breath! At age 65 I allowed the

government to begindeducting a badly needed(by me, not them) 90 bucksfrom my meager SocialSecurity check to enrollinto Medicare. With that,they sent me three orfour books explaining

Make yourself heard in the debate over budget cuts

By strong margins, new polls showthat Americans of all politicalpersuasions are upset at Congress in

the wake of the early-August debt-ceilingagreement and subsequent marketturmoil.

But even though the first round ofbudget-cutting action left Social Securityand Medicare intact, older Floridians arestarting to realize that they’re still in afight to protect the benefits they’veearned over a lifetime of hard work.

In fact, upcoming efforts to trim thefederal deficit will focus debate evenmore strongly on the future of Medicare,Social Security and other key programs.

Later this year, Congress will have tomake a new round of even more difficultbudget-cutting decisions. Under thedebt-ceiling deal, a 12-member Con-gressional committee is to craft a plan totrim from $1.2 trillion to $1.5 trillionmore from the nation’s long-term deficitby Nov. 23 of this year.

This “super-committee” couldrecommend reductions to any kind offederal spending, including SocialSecurity or Medicare. AARP Florida isconcerned that this fast-track processwould deny older Americans a chanceto make themselves heard in the debateover budget reductions.

Under the legislation, Congresscannot amend the committee’s plan, butcan only accept or reject it. Congressmust act by Dec. 23. If the “super-committee’s” plan is rejected, then thelegislation requires a broad range ofacross-the-board budget cuts, includinga 2-percent reduction to Medicarereimbursements to your doctor, hospitaland other health-care providers.

This potential cut would be in addi-tion to a possible 30-percent cut inMedicare doctor reimbursements thatwill occur at the end of this year ifCongress does not fix a flawedMedicare-reimbursement formula.

AARP believes that now is the time tostrengthen, not weaken, Social Securityand Medicare. We are calling for a

broader national conversation aboutprotecting American values and every-one’s retirement security.

To help get this conversation started,AARP Florida is reaching out to Floridi-ans in several ways. A series of “commu-nity conversations” will be held later thisyear to explain the deficit-reductionissue and its possible impacts on olderAmericans. Also, tens of thousands ofAARP members statewide will be able tolisten to a “Tele-Forum” to explain theissue via a toll-free telephone call laterthis year.

Also, AARP Florida volunteer speakersare available to speak to your civic orfraternal organization, club, condo orhomeowners’ association or other groupthis fall on this important issue. Toschedule a speaker to come to your clubor organization and speak about this orother topics, please call AARP Florida at1-866-595-7678 and ask for the Speaker’sBureau line, or e-mail [email protected] .

In addition, AARP Florida will beproviding information on protectingSocial Security and Medicare in e-

newsletters send to hundreds of thou-sands of AARP members, as well as onFacebook.

The outcome of this debate couldhave a big impact on older people. Onaverage, Americans 65+ spend about 30percent of their income on health costs.The median income of Americans age65 or older is only $18,500 a year, andhalf of all Floridians age 65+ rely onSocial Security for half their income.Shifting costs to seniors, or cuttingSocial Security benefits, could havedevastating impacts on older Floridians.

I want to thank the tens of thousandsof Floridians who already have raisedtheir voices on this important issue. AtAARP Florida, we’re working to help youprotect your retirement security. To stayin touch with the latest developmentson this issue, please go tohttp://action.aarp.org and sign up forour Action Alerts. To learn more, pleaservisit www.aarp.org/fl .

on or pay enough for preventivecare?

A. Well, it is reactionary. I thinkthey’ve done a little better job as far asproviding coverage for mammogramsand wellness check ups on an annualbasis. So there is some movement inthe right direction.

Q. What role do hospitals play inreforming Medicare?

A. I don’t mean this as a criticism,but a factual statement: We’vebecome very dependent as healthcare providers on the Medicare popu-lation. It makes up 50 percent of hos-pital patient reimbursements. Tomake changes to the philosophical orfundamental delivery of Medicare —it’s a big ship you’re trying to turn.That’s when you do go into the poli-tics and what’s right and what’swrong. All providers get involved. Itcan’t be helped when the health careindustry has 50 percent in Medicareand in some instances another 15 to

20 percent in Medicaid, which hasfederal dollars tied to it as well.

Q. So, does that mean hospitalshave to play that political gameinstead of just being able to offercare?

A. It does. Our primary focus is inthe delivery of health care and doingthat over the long term. In otherwords, we have to not only provideday-to-day care for the people whoare in-patients and in our emergencyrooms today and tomorrow, but wehave to plan to create a businessmodel that is going to be sustainablefor a long period of time.

Q. What else will help ease the bur-den on Medicare?

A. We as a society need to do a bet-ter job in being focused on wellness –exercising and eating right. We’vemade a lot of good strides in beingmore healthy. I think the next genera-tion is more focused on health thanwe were as kids; they’re more focusedon exercise. But there are still issues

with obesity among children andwe’re going to have to educate themto get out and get more exercise.

Q. What role do public hospitalsplay in encouraging this focus onwellness?

A. There’s an educational compo-nent. We have our Healthy Communi-ties program in school systems. It’sproviding swimming classes andclasses for new parents. There is aninitiative in the school systembetween the local hospitals on pro-viding more education to our youthabout making more healthy choices(Let’s Move Volusia Youth).

Q. Do you believe that with ourlarge population of retirees here, ourlocal health care system will be moretaxed than others?

A. I do. It will be challenging. But

you have to pick your battles, so tospeak. Currently in the state of Flori-da, about 17 percent of the popula-tion is over 65. In Volusia County, it’s21 percent. The rest of the nation byand large is around 13 percent. So it isgoing to affect Florida more. I’m notsuggesting that’s necessarily bad forproviders. It’s more of a financial chal-lenge than a clinical challenge. Wehave the means to take care of thispopulation from a clinical perspec-tive. A larger percentage of ourpatient mix is Medicare and Medic-aid. We are a retirement destination.We don’t have a large enough indus-trial base or employer group healthplans to cross subsidize. So financial-ly we are going to be challenged totake care of Medicare populationswithout the presence of a large com-mercial population.

Q. Proposed cuts to Medicarewould obviously make this an evenbigger challenge. What can be doneabout it?

A. The only thing we can do is encour-age economic development and bringjobs to the community that providehealth care to their employees. Being atourist destination creates a challenge inthat regard. Hotels and restaurants don’talways provide health care.

Q. And those proposed cuts, what willthey mean for hospitals like Halifax?

A. We’ll have to evaluate the level ofuncompensated care we provide. We’renot going to be able to continue … it’snot just federal cuts; it’s local cuts. Hali-fax has cut over 50 percent of its taxes inthe last four years. No other entity —whether it’s state, county, city — no one’scut taxes as much as Halifax has, yetwe’re providing more uncompensatedcare, more programs to the communi-ties that no one else in the communityprovides. But the discussion that needsto be on the table (if we do face majorcuts) is who is going to provide the trau-

ma care, who is going to provide pedi-atric programs, who’s going to providemental health programs in the commu-nity?

Q. And if those federal cuts comethrough, do you believe the local taxeswill need to be raised?

A. That’s a discussion that needs to beon the table. If the community wantsthese programs, the money needs tocome from somewhere.

Q. Another worry with the aging babyboomers is that there will be a shortageof geriatric specialists. Do you agree?What can hospitals do to help preventthis?

A. I do think we will have to worryabout that. There’s not a lot of peopleknocking on the door to get into geri-atric medicine. You know why? Becausethey are going to be taking care ofMedicare patients and Medicare doesn’tpay very well. That’s going to be a prob-lem. And they can say ‘well, I don’t do itfor the money,’ as long as they want, but

these new doctors have to be able to paytheir bills from medical school and longresidencies. We need to recognize that –how long they are in school learning totake care of us. So, I think we have tobecome more dependent on internalmedicine physicians who have the abili-ty to take care of not only Medicarepatients but commercial patients. So,the same cross-subsidization takesplace there. That’s why it is so difficultfor the Medicare population to get intosee a doctor — because physicians canonly accept a certain number ofMedicare patients because the reim-bursement doesn’t pay the bills.

Q. Facing looming Medicare cuts andthe high cost of private insurance, whatis your advice for baby boomers toensure they will receive quality healthcare in their older years?

A. Exercise, eat right and save yourmoney. Not that that’s going to keep youfrom having an accident. As individuals,we need to have health insurance.Whether it’s a high-deductible plan, or ahealth service account, we need some

sort of coverage, because if we don’t, ithas the ability to bankrupt us. Any oneof us.

Q. Do you think Medicare is going tolook dramatically different in five to 10years?

A. I don’t think there will be drasticchanges that soon. We will still be payingon a “per click” basis. And I think therewill be some extra payments or deduc-tions. But I think some of the changesbeing made in health care are challeng-ing providers to focus on outcomes thatprovide better value and I think that’s agood thing.

Q. Anything else to add?

A. I think our community is very fortu-nate. Regardless of the challenges wehave from a health care perspective, wehave a very, very good base of primarycare physicians and a very, very goodgroup of specialists here and until youget out in other communities, you reallydon’t appreciate the caliber of the physi-cians and the nursing that we have here.

what I could or could not expectfrom the program. These volumeswould rival “Gone With The Wind”in size and the books on Scientol-ogy for ease of understanding. Iremember thinking that I was goingto need a tutor to understand anyportion of it.

Sure enough, I began seeingnotices in the paper for classes onthe mysteries of Medicare. Swell.While indeed mysterious, one thingabout Medicare became immedi-ately clear: it only covered a por-tion of the doctor and hospital billsI might incur. What portion thatwould be was known only to theSurgeon General and possibly theold guy on the oatmeal commer-cials.

Now I was forced to actually payattention to the supplementalinsurance company solicitations.Eventually I did buy a plan, but Ihave no idea if I am truly covered. Ibelieve they make this so verycomplicated on purpose, knowingfull well that by the time you findout the short comings you will beon life support, too weak to protest.

Medicare costs the United StatesGovernment around $550 billion ayear. If you have been watching thenews you know that the fundinghas become a political football.One of the big problems withMedicare is fraud. Certainunscrupulous doctors and carefacilities constantly bill the govern-ment for services never performed.As you might expect the state ofFlorida is at the center of Medicarefraud. In 2010 the Miami area alonewas responsible for more than $400million in fraudulent charges. It hasbecome so lucrative a scam thatcareer drug dealers have leftcocaine behind and now deal inMRI’s and colonoscopies.

Medicare fraud is much moredifficult to catch than drug smug-gling and the penalties are notnearly as severe. One of the biggest

scams in south Florida is theadministering of a placebo for veryexpensive HIV drugs. This is some-times done with full approval of thepatients and often a kick backcomes their way. Everyone winsexcept the taxpayers and the seniorcitizens that need legitimatetreatment.

Another popular dodge is themedical equipment business.Criminals rent a storefront andstock it with a couple wheel chairsand a few prosthetic limbs andbegin billing Medicare for thou-sands of dollars in equipment thatwas never delivered. Most of thepatients listed had their numbersobtained illegally and never visitedthe business. You can do your partby keeping careful records of theservices provided to you andcharged to Medicare. Report anysuspicious activity on youraccount. With the baby boomersjust coming of age, the Medicaresystem is bound to be overworked.With the country in such direfinancial straits Medicare is boundto be attacked from both the rightand left. One thing is certain — wehave the numbers and we do vote.Let your politicians know what youexpect from them. The baby boomgeneration is the most powerfulfaction in the nation, so throw yourweight around — just don’t break ahip.

make sure that the medications youtake are covered and that youunderstand what the premiums andco-pays will be.

The SHINE program is also usefulfor figuring out Part D. Standing forServing Health Insurance Needs ofElders, SHINE is a state-wide vol-unteer-based program offering freeMedicare and health insuranceeducation, counseling and assis-tance. SHINE is administered inFlorida by the Department of ElderAffairs.

SHINE volunteers can offer free,unbiased information on Medicare;Medicaid, the state-run programfor those with low income;Medicare supplemental insuranceor Medigap; long-term care insur-ance, prescription drug insuranceor Part D; and Medicare fraud.Counselors can also assist low-income beneficiaries in applyingfor extra help with premiums.

To locate SHINE assistance inFlorida, call the Florida ElderHelpline 1(800) 963-5337. A SHINEvolunteer will call. Many consulta-tions can be done over the phone.

Changes to Part D

When the Medicare Part D benefitwent into effect in 2006 beneficiar-ies had to pay 100 percent of pre-scription drug costs after theyreached a coverage limit and untiltheir drug expenses qualified themfor catastrophic coverage. This wasknown as the ‘doughnut hole.’

The 2010 Patient Protection andAffordable Health Care Act hasmade the coverage gap less of aburden. Jackie Kersh, a volunteerwith the SHINE program, said thatpeople who fall into the ‘doughnuthole’ will receive some relief.

“It’s a good thing that under theAffordable Care Act of 2010, theyhave begun to close the infamous‘doughnut hole,’” she said. “Begin-

ning this year, the government willpay 50 percent of the cost of brandnames drugs in the doughnut hole.They’ll pay 93 percent of genericdrugs and the patient will pay sevenpercent. “

This year the ‘doughnut hole’starts at $2, 840 in covered prescrip-tion drugs costs and ends when thecatastrophic coverage kicks in at $4,550.

“Every year they will close the gapmore and it will disappear in 2020,”she said.

Another change to the programthis year is that the period to switchplans is longer.

“In the fall of 2011, the AnnualEnrollment Period dates willchange to give you more time if youwant to choose and join a Medicarehealth or prescription drug plan,”said Mark Tellier, administrator ofDaytona-area senior services forthe Council on Aging of VolusiaCounty. “You will be able to switchfrom Oct. 15-Dec. 7. If you make achange during this period, yournew coverage will begin Jan. 1,2012.”

It is important to note that legis-lators working on the budget maymake changes to Medicare. You canlook for updates atwww.medicare.gov. Organizationssuch as AARP are following the leg-islative action. You can keepinformed at the AARP websitewww.aarp.org.
