Omaha Social Security Disability Attorney

One specific reason that many people with disabilities want to obtain social security disability benefits, is the fact that those who receive benefits are also eligible for health insurance through Medicare. When you apply for and receive benefits, you will begin to receive medical care paid through the Medicare program. This is of extreme importance to those with disabilities because medical care costs can become extremely expensive depending on the type of condition you are currently suffering from.

 Medicare is a government ran medical coverage that will help with a wide variety of issues surrounding your disability such as, doctor’s care, long-term care, preventive services, and prescriptions. The Medicare program is designed to help those who need it in order to qualify for the Medicare program one of the following must apply to you:

At 65 years of age or older you are eligible for Medicare insurance if you currently receive Social Security benefits or railroad benefits, or do not get either type of benefits but have worked enough time to become eligible for the benefits. Additionally, if you are entitled to social security under that of your spouse record and your spouse is a minimum of age 62, or you were employed for a specific length of time within the government to become insured.

For those that are younger than 65 years of age, you may be eligible for Medicare if any of the following apply to you. If you currently receive social security benefits and are affected with Lou Gehrigs disease, if you have received benefits for at least 2 years, or if you have worked a specific length of time with the government and qualify for social security disability benefits. Certain people may qualify for Medicare insurance at any age if they meet special requirements, such as kidney failure and those that are receiving dialysis or a transplant, if they currently receive social security disability benefits or have worked enough time in a government position.

It is important that you discuss all of this with your Omaha disability lawyer or advocate to determine if you meet all of the criteria in regards to social security disability benefits and the Medicare program. For those who do not qualify under the rules stated above, you may still qualify under other areas of this type of medical insurance. There are currently four types of Medicare and they are called Parts A, B, C, and D.

Medicare Part A, is known as the hospital insurance and is paid for by part of the taxes paid to Social Security, this type is typically used to pay for care in the hospital, nursing or hospice care.

Medicare Part B is known as the medical insurance, this is paid via premiums on a monthly basis as well as funds from the treasury. This type of insurance typically goes towards paying for fees charged by doctors, hospital care in an outpatient setting and other types of services that are no allowed under the Part A.

Medicare Part C is also known as Medicare Advantage, this is comparable to a PPO and could help in lowering the costs of the services you need medically, other benefits are available for an additional fee. In order to enroll in Medicare Advantage you must have enrolled and been accepted into both A and B as well.

Medicare Part D is also known as the prescription drug coverage, this is paid for by premiums paid monthly.
