The benefits of geriatric care management encompass the lives of seniors and their families. A Geriatric Care manager can assist with ongoing monitoring, which may prevent unnecessary hospitalization or any costly crises.

Medicare Insurance California and Texas

Benefits of Working With A Gerontologist In Medicare

You may be surprised at the differences between Medicare and other types of health insurance. If you’ve had health coverage through your employer, your plan likely included medical and prescription drug coverage, along with other benefits. It also may have covered both you and your spouse. Medicare only covers one person at a time. This means you and your spouse must enroll separately. In addition, Medicare gives you options that can make it possible to receive your benefits in a variety of different ways. You can:
  • Choose hospital and medical coverage delivered through the federal government.
  • Add prescription drug coverage delivered through a private company.
  • Purchase a supplemental insurance policy from a private insurer that can help cover some of the costs.
  • Choose coverage from a private insurer that combines hospital, medical and often prescription drug coverage into one plan.

In short, with Medicare you can choose coverage that fits your needs, budget and lifestyle. We can help you take full advantage of that freedom.

  • Crisis intervention provides help to stabilize situations and help with short- and long-term solutions.
  • They make home visits and recommend needed services and care planning assessments, during which they identify needs, strengths, and what assistance is needed. And assessments also help decisions about whether a senior is eligible for assistance.
  • Discuss difficult topics with seniors and their families, as well as complex issues like dementia, financial planning, legal planning, medical issues, placement or relocation, independence, driving, incontinence, and family dynamics.
