Medicare Preventive Benefits "Paycheck"—Sample Outreach
1 min read
This sample outreach "paycheck" and chart were developed in New York to promote Medicare preventive benefits and encourage their use by beneficiaries.
The chart outlines the different preventive services, frequency, and any cost-sharing owed by the beneficiary. Those include:
- Annual Wellness Exam (Medicare pays 100% once every 12 months after your first full year of Medicare enrollment)
- Depression Screening (Medicare pays 100% for a screening done in a doctor's office)
- Obesity Counseling (Medicare pays 100% for counseling for anyone with a BMI of 30 or higher)
The "paycheck" is a fun way to remind Medicare beneficiaries to prioritize their health.
