美國聯邦醫療保險(紅藍卡)新移民/父母版

美國新移民父母/老人醫療保險 「點擊獲取」紅藍卡保險報價 新移民老年人醫療保險,很多新移民經過多年艱辛打拼,加上多年的默默等待,終於可以在美站穩陣腳,拿到身份。當然就會想把父母接過來安享晚年,但父母多數都已年紀老邁. 除了怎樣為這些年長的父母或親屬辦理綠卡和永久居留權之外,如何獲得醫療保險也是一個備受關注的問題. 畢竟老年人病痛較多,即使沒有大病,小毛病也是避免不了的,所以也就離不開看醫生,這意味著有醫療保險是多麼重要。 眾所周知,在美國看病是極貴的。在美國,一半左右的個人破產並不是因為商業失敗,而是因為巨額的醫藥費。 因此,在美國養老,沒有醫保是一件無法想象的事情。 不過,如果有了公費醫保,一切就輕鬆得多了。 美國的老人福利政策規定,年過65歲的老人,看病基本上不用掏多少錢,住院的費用也很少。不過,這一切的前提條件就是加入兩大公費醫保體系——Medicaid和Medicare。 貧困者醫療補助保險叫Medicaid,聯邦醫療照顧保險叫Medicare。 不符合參加紅藍卡資格的人士,可以點擊這裡查看其它適合父母的醫保計劃。 65歲新移民在美國怎麼買醫療保險? 針對65歲以上的耆英長者,聯邦政府專門設置了Medicare聯邦醫療保險福利,俗稱 紅藍卡 。 紅藍卡包含支付住院護理費用的A部分和支付門診、手術費用的B部分。 根據規定,長者須在65歲生日的前後三個月去社安局申請紅藍卡,稱作“首次公開期”(Initial Enrollment),過期延遲加入將會面臨罰款。原先享有的個人健康保險福利將不再適用。 「點看」紅藍卡醫療保險常見問題 美國綠卡老人怎樣參加醫療保險? 美國的老年人多數通過參加聯邦政府管理的Medicare 老年人醫療保險得到醫療保障。 參加Medicare 老年人醫療保險需要年滿65周歲,並且在美國工作並納稅至少十年以上。獲得美國綠卡的老人在移民美國滿五年後也可以自費購買Medicare 醫療保險。 持非移民簽證去美國訪問居住的老人,例如旅遊、探親,通常不能參加美國本土的老年人醫療保險。 美國聯邦政府和州政府的醫療保險項目為大約30%的美國人提供醫療保險,包括老年人,傷殘者,兒童,貧困者,退伍軍人等。這些公費醫療保險計劃主要針對弱勢群體,以保障社會公平。 公費醫療保險主要有聯邦政府管理的為老年人和傷殘者提供的“醫療照顧”保險Medicare,聯邦和州政府合作的為貧困者提供的“醫療補助“保險(即白卡),同樣由聯邦和州政府合作的各州兒童醫療保險計劃。此外還有為聯邦政府僱員和軍人等設立的特種醫療保險,以及各州根據財政自行設立的各種健康計劃。 公費醫療保險主要由聯邦醫療照顧和醫療補助服務中心(Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, CMS)以及各州的健康衛生部門負責執行。 如何通過星級評價來選擇紅藍卡計劃? 紅藍卡使用星級評價系統來衡量紅藍卡優勢計劃和紅藍卡D部分的執行情況的好壞。 評分針對紅藍卡計劃在幾個不同類別中的執行情況進行評定,包括護理質量和客戶服務。 評級範圍從1到5顆星,其中5顆星最高,而1顆星最低。 紅藍卡和白卡的區別 红蓝卡由联邦政府提供,凡年满65岁並有在美報稅滿十年(四十個季度)的人士均可獲得參加資格。 而白卡是由州政府提供,白卡需符合州政府低收入标准方可获得。 白卡屬於“公共負擔”,紅藍卡則不屬於。 更多關於白卡的資訊,可點擊此處查看 聯邦醫療照顧保險(Medicare)-老年人的公費醫療 醫療照顧保險(Medicare)是聯邦政府為65歲或以上老年人,不足65歲但有長期殘障的人士提供的政府醫療保險。申請者必須是美國公民或永久居民,申請者本人或配偶已向國家繳納醫療保險稅(Medicare Tax)10年或者40季度以上。 Medicare醫療照顧保險項目由聯邦政府管理,各州實行統一政策。 根據平價醫療法的規定,美國公民、永久移民、和在美國合法居住的外國居民都需要參加符合法律規定標準的醫療保險。老年人參加Medicare聯邦醫療照顧保險符合醫療法規定的標準。 聯邦醫療照顧保險(Medicare)分為四大類。(下文會有詳細介紹) 通常參加Medicare保險後您可以在任何接收Medicare保險的醫院或醫生診所看病。如果您選擇參加Medicare Advantage Plan,需選擇保險計劃的醫療網內的醫院診所看病。 醫療照顧保險(Medicare)的Part A住院保險這部分是強制性的,資金通過政府按員工收入徵收的Medicare保險稅(Medicare tax)來籌集。雇主和僱員需要分別繳納工資收入的1.45%,總計收入的2.9%用於支付住院醫療保險。這樣,當您年滿65周歲後,就可以獲得Medicare住院保險,不需要繳納這部分的保險費。 … Read more
