Maintain independence with Medicare covered services
Your health improves and you have fewer hospital stays when you receive better and more frequent care.
This is especially true for older adults with multiple chronic conditions. However, many are unaware that this type of comprehensive care is available and covered by Medicare.
The majority of the costs for Personal Prevention CareTM are covered by Medicare; you are responsible for a small copay, usually less than $10.00 per month. In many instances those copays are covered by your Medicare Advantage or supplemental insurance plan.

Medicare is willing to pay for this because those monthly interactions have been proven to improve your health. Older adults with multiple chronic conditions who regularly follow a customized health plan experience fewer hospital and emergency room visits and have better health outcomes.

True Cost of Hospitalization
Stay healthy while avoiding extra costs
Better and more frequent care avoids extremely expensive trips to the hospital. Even though copays are required to access this improved care, it is much less costly to you in the long run.
Even though much of the cost of a hospital stay is picked up by Medicare, your out-of-pocket costs could be thousands of dollars. If you are admitted to the hospital on an observational basis, and then discharged to a care facility, your portion can rise to almost $5,000.
Show More
When you use Embrace’s Medicare-covered services, you are required to make a monthly copay. In most instances, this payment is less than $10 per month or about $ 100 per year, less than a tenth of the cost of the least expensive hospital admission, and often is covered by Medicare Advantage or supplemental insurance plans.
The unfortunate truth is after any hospital stay, older adults’ overall health is often worse after they leave than before they entered. Additional time and effort is required just to get the patient’s health back to where it was prior to admission. Hospital stays are also often the events which trigger a change in where you will live.
Personal Prevention CareTM allows you to experience better health while minimizing your costs.
