Medicare is Trying to Save Your Life; Needs You to Help by Using Preventive Services
Download this free, handy sheet for keeping track of your free Medicare preventive services
Jan. 22, 2012 - Senior citizens have a better chance at a longer, healthier life this year, thanks to the many new
preventive services now offered by Medicare. Many have been added by the health care reform law, called Obamacare by its critics, but
officially named the Affordable Care Act. SeniorJournal.com is offering a free checklist to help you keep up with all the preventive services
you are due.
The strategy is to help older Americans stay healthy and to avoid the extremely high cost of treating disease and other
health problems after they reach the catastrophic stage.
SeniorJournal.com is now helping you take advantage of these life-saving opportunities by providing a handy checklist to keep up with the
services for which you are eligible.
The
SeniorJournal.com checklist is a one page sheet available for download or printing. It is almost actually like a page in the Medicare
and You 2012 handbook.
SeniorJournal.com, the online senior news site, is providing it in a format that is easy to use, share with others and to carry with you
to meetings with doctors and other healthcare providers.
Senior Journal is also providing information and key links that will guide seniors to more detailed information of
the websites provided by Medicare and others.
For example, a key website is
MyMedicare.gov. This site is
published for beneficiaries and users must register to use the interactive features of the site. The key reason for registration is that it
provides free personalized information about your account and services provided through Medicare.
When you open your
account on MyMedicare.gov you get this page with your preventive services listed on right.
MyMedicare.gov
is an optional, secure site designed to help you check the status of your eligibility, enrollment, and other Medicare benefits. It also allows
you to access your claims information almost immediately after it is processed by Medicare and provides you with preventive health information
24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Checking up on your preventive services is one of the major benefits of establishing your account at
MyMedicare.gov.
Once you have established your account, it will provide you information on the services you have received from Medicare.
You can use this information to help keep track of the preventive services for which you are available by checking them off on the checklist
provided by SeniorJournal.com.
