I m getting overwhelmed with all the information, facts and numbers I need to know. Can Priority Health help? A. Yes, we can help. If you have diabetes, taking care of yourself can make a world of difference in how you feel. With our free diabetes case management program, a nurse case manager will help you manage your diabetes, set health goals and understand your coverage. To learn more about the program or to talk to a case manager, please call Customer Service. Remember, with diabetes, it s important to ask your doctor about: Checking for kidney disease.

5 Answers to your questions about Original Medicare Our members ask a lot of good questions and we have the answers. Does Original Medicare give me all the coverage I need? Original Medicare is the hospitalization (Part A) and medical services (Part B) coverage you can get through the federal government. It covers many health care services like preventive screenings and wellness exams, but there are some health care services it doesn t cover. For example, Original Medicare does not include prescription drug coverage, but you can get this coverage under a Medicare Part D plan. And with Original Medicare, you ll have to pay out of your own pocket for deductibles before Original Medicare covers hospitalization and medical services. You also pay a monthly Part B premium and some health care you need may not be covered. As you consider your options, you may want to think about a plan that combines your Medicare Parts A, B and D benefits and also offers additional health care benefits. Can I get a plan that covers more than Original Medicare? Yes, you can choose a Medicare Advantage (MA) or a Medicare Advantage with prescription drug coverage (MAPD) plan that will give you more coverage than you get with Original Medicare. Medicare Advantage plans, also known as Part C Medicare, are an alternative way for you to get your Medicare Parts A and B benefits. So, you get all your Original Medicare benefits with an MA or MAPD plan. Plus you get more, such as: Predictable copayments Comprehensive physicals Unlimited hospital days Prescription drug coverage (with MAPD) No deductibles Dental coverage Free gym memberships And you just use one Priority Health Medicare card each time you receive health care services or prescriptions. What s a supplement plan and can I add it to my Original Medicare? Yes, you can buy supplement plans to enhance your Original Medicare coverage. Priority Health offers Medigap (Medicare Supplement) plans that help cover costs like copayments, coinsurance and deductibles that Original Medicare doesn t cover. Medigap plans do not cover prescription drugs, but you can buy a separate plan for that coverage. Keep in mind that you can t enroll in a Medigap plan if you have a Medicare Advantage plan. priorityhealth.com/member 5

9 Stay up-to-date with colon cancer screenings Cancer of the colon and rectum often has few or no symptoms, yet it s one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in the United States. If found and removed early, however, the chances of full recovery are very good. If you have not been screened by any of the following, call your doctor today: A colonoscopy every 10 years, or every two years if you re at high risk (this is the best test doctors have for finding and removing colorectal polyps) An annual fecal occult blood test you can do at home and send back to your doctor A flexible sigmoidoscopy every four years or every 10 years after having a screening colonoscopy Search keyword: colorectal What our members are saying Nancy G. of Grand Rapids said: I was having severe back pain and needed surgery. I was sinking into a depression, and I don t think I could have hung on if I didn t have Priority Health. Priority Health connected me with a nurse case manager to meet my needs when I wasn t able to think clearly. They listened to me and even executed paperwork on my behalf. Most insurance companies are quick to criticize. Priority Health was quick to help with the personalized care I needed. Y0056_4000_4030_75 File and use
