Please circulate widely.

“Medicare and the New Health Law – What it Means for You”

Starting tomorrow and throughout this week, Medicare beneficiaries 
across the country should begin receiving copies of a brochure 
“Medicare and the New Health Law – What it Means for You” in their 
mailboxes. The mailing from CMS outlines key provisions of the 
Affordable Care Act for people with Medicare as well as members of 
their families. The mailing is being sent in both English and Spanish.

Because Medicare is a trusted resource for beneficiaries and their 
family members, the mailing encourages them to log on to 
www.medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE to get their questions about 
Medicare or the Affordable Care Act answered and reminds them to be on 
the alert for possible scams.

The first benefit that many people with Medicare will receive as a 
result of the passage of the new law is a one-time check for $250, if 
they enter the Part D donut hole and are not eligible for Medicare 
Extra Help. Beginning next year, the Affordable Care Act ensures that 
Medicare beneficiaries will get free preventive care services like 
colorectal cancer screening and mammograms, in addition to a free 
annual wellness visit. The law also includes new tools to help fight 
fraud by helping Medicare crack down on criminals who are seeking to 
scam seniors and steal taxpayer dollars.

The brochures can also be found at: 
http://www.medicare.gov/Publications/Pubs/pdf/11467.pdf (English) and 
http://www.medicare.gov/Publications/Pubs/pdf/11467_S.pdf (Spanish).

Please share this information with your members, partners and constituents.
