Taking advantage of the preventive health benefits you receive through Medicare is the perfect New Year resolution! Seeing a health care provider for screenings and a routine check-up is an important step to ensure good health in the coming year. Medicare Part B pays for many preventive health services and screenings which can be the key to good health as you begin 2016. An important appointment to schedule is the Annual Wellness Visit. This visit provides an opportunity to talk with the doctor about specific health and risk factors and set up a plan for preventive health screenings. Screenings such as Mammograms, Colonoscopies, Pap tests and PSA tests are important to have done regularly to ensure signs of abnormalities are discovered early, when treatment is most effective. The flu shot and Pneumonia shot are also important tools for good health. These screenings and vaccinations are covered without a deductible and co-payment charge. 4 ADRC-CW MONTHLY GUIDE JANUARY 2016 In addition, screenings such as cardiovascular screenings, bone mass measurement, diabetes screening and lung cancer screening are covered at no charge for those who meet certain criteria. Your health care provider will let you know which screenings, tests and vaccinations are right for you. More information about the preventive tests/screenings covered by Medicare can be found in the Medicare and You 2016 handbook or on the Medicare website (www.medicare.gov). For local assistance with Medicare questions or other benefits contact the: Aging and Disability Resource Center of Central Wisconsin 888-486-9545. So, as you start the New Year, resolve to reward yourself with good health. Cedar Rail & Parkview Apartments Experience Quality Independent Living To learn more, please call today!

We hurry around to get all the decorating and baking done, clean the house and cook the meals, and attend a variety of services and social gatherings. After the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, we are sometimes left with a flurry of emotions. We are usually tired and often sad as family members leave and life gets back to “normal”. Our routines have been turned upside down and our sleep schedules may be off. The house may be quieter with less company and perhaps less help. The added activity may have increased confusion in our loved one as well. Feelings of sadness are normal as we re-adjust to our usual routines. One way to help get back into a positive frame of mind is to focus on the good things in life. Take some 6 ADRC-CW MONTHLY GUIDE JANUARY 2016 time each day to reflect on something pleasant that happened over the holiday season. It’s often hard to set aside time just for relaxing so incorporate things that are enjoyable into your daily routine. Listen to music while you are cooking. Light a candle while cleaning. Practice deep breathing while driving to appointments or running errands. These little things can help our minds relax and help us feel more at peace and less stressed. Consider starting the new year with some easy to follow resolutions for you. Remember that resolutions are best if they are attainable. Here are a few examples of some resolutions that not only benefit you, but also the person you are caring for. • Resolve to accept help (Have some ideas in mind so that when someone offers you can give them an idea of what can really help). • Resolve to stay connected (or reconnect) with friends (Spending even a few minutes talking with a friend can lift your spirits and give you energy to keep going). • Resolve to take one hour each week just for you (Do something that is purely for you. Whether it’s a visit to the hair salon, meeting friends for coffee, walking the dog, or looking through magazines – do something you enjoy). care, you need to be healthy – both physically and emotionally. Taking some time for you helps to keep you healthy and energized. Your loved one will benefit from this as well. You will have more energy and patience and you’ll find it easier to laugh at things that once bothered you. If you find you need additional help or are wondering what options are out there, we’re here to help. There are many options and the Aging and Disability Resource Center can help you identify what works best for you and your situation. We’re happy to meet with you and discuss your situation – whether it’s in your home, on the phone or in our office –whatever is most convenient for you. We can be reached at 888-486-9545. • Resolve to laugh (Look up funny animal videos on the internet, watch a silly sitcom or play with your grandkids). We wish you and your family a very Happy New Year! Taking care of you is one of the best things you can do as a caregiver.

HSAS, FSAS, MSAS — OMG! By the GWAAR Legal Services Team The government offers many different programs that provide tax breaks for persons paying medical expenses. There are, however, requirements that must be met in order to receive the tax benefits. This article provides only basic information about the different programs available and should not be construed as tax advice. Health Savings Account (HSA) HSAs are “portable,” meaning the account stays with you if you change employers or leave the workforce. Anyone (employer, employee family member) can contribute to this account. Funds remain in the account until you spend them. Requirements for HSAs: • Must be covered by a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) • Cannot have any other general health coverage other than the HDHP • May not be enrolled in Medicare • Must not be claimed as a dependent on someone’s tax return Tip: Each eligible spouse who wants an HSA must open a separate HSA. You cannot have a joint HSA. Archer Medical Savings Account (MSA) The requirements of this account are similar to an HSA, except this program was designed for employees of small businesses (50 or fewer employees). 14 ADRC-CW MONTHLY GUIDE JANUARY 2016 Requirements for Archer MSAs: • Cannot be established after 2007 and have largely been replaced by health savings accounts (HSA) • Archer MSAs already established can accept new contributions or be rolled over into an HSA • No new contributions can be made once a person is Medicare-eligible Medicare Advantage MSA This is an Archer Medical Savings Account. Contributions can only be made by Medicare. Distributions that are not used for qualified medical expenses are included in income and also may be subject to a penalty. Requirements for Medicare Advantage MSAs: • Must be enrolled in Medicare • Have a HDHP that meets the Medicare guidelines Flexible Spending Account (FSA) This account can only be established by your employer and contributions are withheld from your paycheck. Money remaining at the end of the year is forfeited, although there may be a grace period of 2½ months to spend the remaining money in the account the following year. Health Reimbursement Agreement (HRA) This is an employer-sponsored plan and must be funded solely by the employer. Medicare eligibility has implications for many of these accounts.

The funding pays a portion of the heating costs, but the payment is not intended to cover the entire cost of heating a residence.
