💡 Tuesday Tip

Not every medical situation requires a trip to the emergency room.

For true emergencies—such as chest pain, stroke symptoms, difficulty breathing, or serious injuries—the ER is the right choice.

For non-emergencies like minor injuries, infections, cold and flu symptoms, or other routine concerns, urgent care is often faster and less expensive.

‼️A few quick reminders:
✔ Confirm the facility accepts Medicare.
✔ Call your primary care provider first if time allows.
✔ Understand how your Medicare plan covers urgent care and ER visits.

Knowing where to go can help you get the care you need while avoiding unnecessary costs.

Questions about your Medicare coverage? We're always happy to help.

💙 Happy Father's Day

Today we celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, and father figures who have shaped our lives through their love, guidance, hard work, and support.

For many of us, Father's Day is a day of celebration. For others, it's also a day of remembrance.

I miss my dad every day, but the memories, lessons, and love he shared remain with me forever.

Whether you're spending today with family, honoring a cherished memory, or reflecting on the impact of a special father figure, we hope your day is filled with gratitude and meaningful moments.

From all of us at Beuttel Insurance Services, Happy Father's Day.

One question we hear frequently during Alzheimer's & Brain Health Awareness Month is:

"Does Medicare cover Alzheimer's care?"

The answer is yes—Medicare may cover many medically necessary services related to Alzheimer's disease, including doctor visits, diagnostic testing, hospital care, and certain home health services.

However, understanding what Medicare covers, what it doesn't cover, and how families can plan ahead is an important part of navigating a diagnosis.

Did you receive a notice from your Medicare plan?

Plan changes, premium increases, provider network updates, and even plan discontinuations can happen from time to time. If you've recently received a letter regarding your coverage, it's important to review it carefully and understand how those changes may affect you.

The good news? You have options.

Taking a few minutes to understand your rights and available coverage choices can help you avoid surprises and make informed decisions about your healthcare coverage.

🧠 June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Health Awareness Month

Hey folks… June is a good reminder to slow down and pay attention to something that often gets overlooked — our brain health. Whether it’s for ourselves, a spouse, a parent, or someone we love, these conversations matter. 💛

Alzheimer’s affects more than 7 million Americans, and Medicare does provide some important tools and support along the way.

✅ Your yearly Medicare Wellness Visit includes a no-cost cognitive check-in to help screen for early signs of memory or cognitive concerns
✅ If needed, Medicare may also cover a more detailed cognitive care planning visit
✅ Loved ones and caregivers can attend visits, ask questions, and help build a care plan together

While there is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s, early diagnosis can make a meaningful difference when it comes to treatment options, planning, support, and quality of life.

As always, if you have questions about your Medicare coverage or benefits, I'm here to help you understand what's available to you.
