Navigating senior care options can be complex, especially when aiming for comfortable aging at home. For eligible individuals, SCAN Health Plan offers a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD HMO) plan that includes valuable in-home care benefits. This plan is specifically designed for LACERA retirees and their dependents who are 65 and older, or under 65 and enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B. If you’re seeking comprehensive support to maintain independence at home, understanding SCAN HMO in-home care is crucial.
SCAN Health Plan distinguishes itself by providing a safety net of extended services designed to support members directly in their homes. These in-home services encompass a range of personal and practical assistance, addressing various needs that seniors might face. This can include help with personal care tasks like bathing and feeding, essential housekeeping to maintain a safe living environment, convenient home meal delivery to ensure proper nutrition, and emergency response systems for immediate assistance when needed. Furthermore, SCAN HMO considers social well-being by offering adult day-care services, providing social interaction and supervised care outside the home setting.
For members who qualify, SCAN goes a step further with specialized programs like Independent Living Power™ and In-Home Recovery Benefits. These programs are thoughtfully constructed to empower SCAN members to remain in their familiar home environment for as long as it is safely and practically possible. The support offered is diverse, ranging from light housekeeping tasks that ease daily living to transportation escorts, ensuring members can attend medical appointments and other essential outings without difficulty.
Choosing the SCAN HMO plan comes with several key features that simplify healthcare management. All medical care is delivered through SCAN’s network of providers, ensuring coordinated and quality care. The plan is structured to eliminate common healthcare hassles with no deductibles and no claim forms to manage. While small copayments apply to certain services, the plan aims for predictability in healthcare costs. Beyond medical services, SCAN enhances its offering with expanded social services and transportation assistance for medical appointments, recognizing the broader needs of senior health. For members who are frail and require nutritional support, hot meal delivery is available. The in-home help and personal assistance features are central to the plan’s appeal, providing direct support where it matters most. Adding to the financial benefits, premiums for Medicare Part B are reimbursed by the County (up to the standard amount) on a tax-free basis, provided all eligibility requirements are met, offering significant savings. Finally, for those considering switching to SCAN, there is no waiting period, allowing for immediate access to these comprehensive benefits.
