S19 E06 - You or a Loved One May Qualify for a Medicare Special Needs Program with Enhanced Benefits. Learn More

Join me as we discuss who qualifies for Medicare Special Needs Coverage. We will walk you through the process to justify if you have:

  • A Chronic Medical Condition
  • Are you in a Nursing Home or Require Equivalent Home Healthcare?


Our experts from RPS Benefits by Design are Maria Ahlers, Director of Client Services, Carolee Steele, Director of Medicare, Individual Operations and Joyce Thompson, Individual & Medicare Insurance Consultant and they are trained, certified and specialize in this specific area.


If you are a caregiver, mother, daughter, or anyone who takes care of someone with special needs and is currently on Medicare or Medicaid, as soon as this April, the recipient may receive a letter, call, or email informing them they will no longer qualify for Medicaid.


Medicare Advantage plans every caregiver and family member should know about and why the omnibus spending bill is going to take Medicaid benefits away from 15 million people.


We will discuss why this is happening and 6.1 million of those people will qualify for an ACA policy at about $10 a month.

Episode 2137 notes To provide for the needs of the aged poor, Saint Jeanne Jugan walked the roads of France seeking alms. She was recognized by the begging basket she carried. She asked for money as well as food, clothing, wood, wool or whatever was needed for the Home. Jeanne thanked her benefactors by praying for them, and today’s Little Sisters happily continue this practice. My guests on today's show are Mother Mary Thomas and Sr. Agnes from Kansas City's Little Sisters of the Poor order, located on James A. Reed Rd. Today we learn of their mission and the care they provide for the elderly, with reverence and respect for the elderly regardless of religion, serving people 65 years and older, of any race or religion (or no religion), who are low-income. Serve those who can’t afford to pay for care. "Old age has many gifts that are often overlooked in today’s society. They are our ancestors, built foundation of what we have today" Join me for this extraordinary discussion with these sisteres who are making each day count for our elderly's "last place they will live" with respect and grace.
