SWA will also work with clients’ families to guide them through the decision-making process to ensure their loved ones receive dignified, respectful, quality care. Even if a client’s family is miles away, SWA will act as a liaison to facilitate communication and to explain complex or difficult topics.
One of the biggest challenges individuals aged 65 and over face in navigating Medicare is its infamous complexity, with its multiple parts, differing enrollment periods, and various coverage options. This makes it difficult for seniors to understand the differences between Medicare plans and to assess which would be best for their needs.
SWA members can assist clients throughout the process of Medicare enrollment, from gaining a rudimentary grasp of the different plans, to making referrals to financial, legal, medical, and other professionals and arranging medical appointments and transportation.
Another challenge older adults may face when enrolling in Medicare is lack of awareness of the Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA) surcharge, which may lead to unexpectedly high premiums. SWA can aid clients to understand the criteria used to determine whether they will be subject to the surcharge.
Learning about and choosing Medicare Advantage plans may also be challenging for older individuals, as they come in various forms, each with its own provider network, coverage options, and costs. SWA can act as clients’ personal navigators through these complexities, providing clear, accessible information about these plans.
“Social Work Advocates is committed to helping assess the health, social, and care needs of older adults, and to helping the people they work with understand what care and services are available to meet those needs,” an organization spokesperson said. “We act as a personalized resource and guide for individuals and/or family members who want to ensure adequate information from an unbiased source.”
