As we get older, our need for care increases. Yet paying for that care can be a struggle. Many older adults and people with disabilities, even those with employer coverage, struggle to pay their premiums and may skip treatments or cut back on medications to save money, or go without basic needs, such as groceries, to pay for care.
Health insurance is complicated. It can be difficult to understand what is covered. Many people on Medicare, for example, are often surprised to learn that their insurance doesn’t cover such things as long-term care, hearing aids, or dental services.
Fortunately, there are financial options available to help pay for various health-related services and supports, so you can get the care you will want and need to feel your best.
