3. What health benefits are green card holders, who are senior citizens, eligible for?

If they have worked and paid their taxes on schedule, they will be eligible for Medicare. Your father-in-law would be eligible right now. Your mother-in-law would be eligible at 65. This is providing that she does not have a disability that would make her eligible for Medicare before the age of 65. Check this out with Social Security at www.ssa.gov There are many catastrophic policies available today, from just about any insurance company. Check it out with AARP, they seem to have insurance for anything and everything.

5. How to get health insurance for senior age parents who have greencard status?

I don't have an answer directly, but I have noticed that AARP is forever sending me information that includes insurance. Since it is a membership organization, they can get group plans that make things pretty reasonable. It's at least a start in your research. There may also be long-term plans that need to be looked into specifically, but if your real problem is covering the next five years, you need to have some idea of what she can expect to do when she is eligible for Medicare, and look for an insurance company that knows how to interact seamlessly (do the paperwork for you) to collect your benefits most efficiently. The modern thing is you have one card, and they can change things around in the computer according to what you need. You don't need to keep shopping around. If she's generally healthy now, and has the good sense to take care of herself reasonably, she really has to figure on getting three digits together in some reasonable comfort. By the time she gets there, it will have become relatively common. Our old age statistics are going to show even more amazing improvements in the next ten years or so, as the medical improvements made for the benefit of aging Baby Boomers has its first and most dramatic effect on people who are already older, but healthy.

7. I'd like to be empoyed by Medicare to provide home health care to senior citizens?

It might be possible that you are confusing Medicaid with Medicare. In some states, Medicaid programs allow payment to people providing in-home help to frail elders and people with disabilities as an option to going to a nursing home. If you want to find out if this program is an option where you live, you should call your local Area Area Agency on Agng. Your Area Agency on Aging is part of a national network of organizations focused on helping older Americans get the community services they need to remain living with the highest levels of independence and dignity. There is an Area Agency on Aging serving every community in the United States and in U.S. territories. These folks know about different organizations that need workers in the field of caregiving or companions. Since qualifications vary by state and territory, they would also know about whether there is a Medicaid program that would pay someone to help a senior who needs help to remain in their home. (These programs are usually known as Medicaid waivers.) They would also know the requirements for this kind of work. They also may be able to connect you to an individual or family caregiver who needs immediate help. You can call toll-free 1-800-677-1116 to find the contact information for the specific Area Agency on Aging where you live that can help you get the information you need. Call the Area Agency on Aging and ask to speak with the staff person who handles Information or Assistance the Family Caregiver or In-Home Care program. You should tell this person that you seek employment as a caregiver and ask them questions about possible work in the area and qualifications. You should also ask them for organizations in the area that might be looking for home companions or paid caregivers. While education requirements and experience will vary by what state you are in and what type of job you wish and are qualified to do, credible organizations and potential employers will require a background check. I hope this helps. Best wishes and good luck to you!

8. Want to buy Health Insurance for Green card holders senior citizen parents?

If your father has lived in the U.S. for five years, he should be eligible for Medicare. He might have to pay a premium, though. The Medicare website says: “You will be eligible to apply for Medicare if you have paid into Social Security for at least 10 years or you are eligible to receive Social Security benefits on your spouse’s earnings. If you do not meet these requirements, you can still get Medicare hospital insurance (Part A) by paying a monthly premium if you are a citizen or a lawfully admitted alien who has lived in the U.S. for at least five years. Also, anyone who is age 65 and a citizen or a lawfully admitted alien with five years of residency in the United States can sign up for Medicare Part B medical insurance and pay a monthly premium.” Since your father did not sign up during the initial enrollment period at age 65, he will have to wait until the next General Enrollment Period, which is between January 1 and March 31 each year. There are exceptions to this, so contact Medicare. Your mother will not be eligible for Medicare until she reaches 65. The easiest thing to do for her is to log on to a website like http://www.healthinsurancewiz.com and fill out a form requesting a quote. Her info will be sent to a health insurance broker who will contact her. A broker works with several health insurance companies, and can find the best deal. Brokers need referrals and a good reputation to stay in business, so they only work with reputable companies. There is no charge for the service and no obligation to buy.

9. Can you recommend health insurance for a senior citizen who is a permanent resident but never worked in USA?

AARP can provide good information on many health plan options for your FIL. The best plan really depends on the level of care that he needs. If he is in pretty good shape and does not have a history of major health issues (Diabetes, cancer, heart disease etc) then you might be able to find a reasonable plan. If he requires a lot of care, he'll receive it to keep him alive but you will be charged dearly for his care. You may want to consider paying out of pocket and find doctors who charge reasonable prices for his care. One of the problems we have with insurance is that people have grown dependent on insurance. Some doctors in private practices are not taking insurance and are able to provide reasonably priced care for their patients. Good luck.

11. I have a Health Insurance license in FL. What do I need to do to get my license in CA for senior health ins?

You need to get a non-resident life license in CA. The directions for this would be on the CA insurance department website. Usually it's just a certified statement of good standing from your resident state, and a fee.

12. Best Health Insurance/Mediclaim for Senior Citizens in India?

Your move is right. Protecting your parents under medi-claim, especially if they are over 60 years, is good and the best move. The obstacles are, most of the companies not providing medi-claim for seniors. If it is there, that would be costly. for your parents, you should select one which doesn't require more informations or documents. Approach STAR HEALTH INSURANCE the only company dealing with only health insurance in India, providing medi-claim to seniors. the amount shouldn't vary year to year. You can cover your parents till the age of 75 to 85 (please check this). There are other companies like ICICI lombard or some others have the facility but the premium is more than double compare with star health. Does this make sense?

13. What is difference between Senior living Nurse Assistant job and Home health care job?

I have been a certified community health worker since 1996. I have worked in both home care and nursing homes. I have noticed that Nursing homes pay more than home care and the hours are more stable than home care. The home care agencies I worked for could not guarantee Full time hours and I found myself doing mostly 24 hour live in work to make ends meet. This would be a good job to suppliment your income. Some home care agencies are very busy and others are not. If you do come across one that is busy, then you might not have any problems getting fulltime work. However a car is essential in home care. In the nursing homes I found the hours to be regular and easy to schedul things out side of work. Most Nursing home positions I found were Union positions. If there are any problems while working in a nursing home - you have the union to help you when dealing with management.

15. Senior health flu and cold problem?

Influenzas live roughly about 20-23 years, lofting around and around the globe every year in a 20-23 year long orbit. They shoot off variations of themselves all the time during that period. But, if we got the original bug, it's variations don't bother us so much. We're sorta immune to them. Not completely. But, we sure don't usually get as sick from them. What you may be experiencing is your coming out party, when a new bug, or MORE, has started lofting around the globe and you haven't any previous experiences with it. Influenzas operate on those 20 some year cycles. Epidemiologists actually track them, name them, watch their life cycles as they whip around the globe every year. Typically, adults are fairly free of the worst of them from 40 - 65 years old, as the flu cycle patterns are clustered. Then POW, something new comes around and you're as sick as the poor toddlers in nursery school are are just getting acquainted for the first time with zillions of creepy critters orbiting the planet. Each following variation of that new bug, new for you, will be less and less hard on you as it grows less vicious and your immune system gets used to it. Be sure to get a flu shot. Visit the World Health Organization's website at least once a week for flu updates. And, keep in mind, your general immune system is starting to decline. Avoid crowds, snotty nosed toddlers, or getting too run down. Also, investigate this drug and discuss it with your physician: http://www.epogen.com/

16. Which company provides the best health cover for senior citizens?

20. Health insurance for NON US resident senior?

Since Medicare kicks in at 65 in the US, you're not going to find any US Health companies that offer individual coverage to a 66 year old except medicare supplement. Not much market for non resident seniors. Perhaps some coverage from a Mexican company? A comparison to whats already out there is good too.. http://www.surveyland.org/jump.php?link=insurance Good Luck.
