Medicare Part D covers outpatient prescription drugs, vaccines, and some supplies not covered by Medicare Part A or Medicare Part B or Medical Assistance. Our plan includes Medicare Part D.Medicare Part A: The Medicare program that covers most medically necessary hospital, skilled nursing facility, home health, and hospice care.
Medicare Part B: The Medicare program that covers services (such as lab tests, surgeries, and doctor visits) and supplies (such as wheelchairs and walkers) that are medically necessary to treat a disease or condition. Medicare Part B also covers many preventive and screening services.Medical Assistance: This is the name of Minnesota’s Medicaid program. Medical Assistance is run by the state and is paid for by the state and the federal government. It helps people with limited incomes and resources pay for long-term services and supports and medical costs.
It covers extra services and some drugs not covered by Medicare. Medicaid programs vary from state to state, but most health care costs are covered if you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid.

Emotional Wellness

Behavioral health is a  term used to describe the range of mental wellness. Behavioral health includes both mental health and substance use disorders.

Mental Health

In the same way that physical health changes can occur, a person's mental health can vary throughout their lifetime.

Be aware of symptoms you are experiencing when your mental health is not at its best. A good time to talk to a professional is when symptoms start to interfere with your daily life. Symptoms may include changes in sleep pattern (either too much or too little), having a hard time completing daily tasks such as taking care of your kids or getting to work, pulling away from people you normally like to spend time with; and increased irritability or fighting with family or friends.

Start by talking to your primary care doctor. They can help you sort through symptoms you are experiencing. If needed, they can refer you to a provider who is more specialized in treating mental health conditions.

Substance Use Disorder

Substance Use Disorder treatment can come in many different forms. Inpatient treatment (residential treatment or rehab) is when someone lives at a facility for an amount of time and receives therapy and coping strategies to help them stay sober. Outpatient treatment is for those who are living in their homes but go to a treatment facility for therapy. Outpatient treatment could occur multiple times a week for several weeks at a time.
