JSA: Accessing Health Services Not Covered By MSP
Let us know what type of presentation and/or topics you would like us to include in our meetings. We leave time for personal sharing. Many personal stories are shared, which often are commonly experienced. With our collective experiences, many well-thought-out ideas and solutions emerge. In turn, we are able to bring these suggestions to Senior Leadership for their consideration.
“Peer Support Corner”
Please share a resource that has helped you.
Send to lb.familycouncil@gmail.com
Example: Jewish Seniors Alliance (JSA) recognizes that in BC, our Medical Services Plan (MSP) specifically excludes coverage of dental, vision, hearing, and other services such as physio, massage, podiatry and assistive devices. As a result, many do not receive necessary care and are subject to high out-of-pocket costs.
JSA is pleased to present Accessing Health Services Not Covered By MSP. This resource guide provides information about financial benefits seniors are entitled to and tips on how to access some extended health needs
Don’t forget to recognize and thank those special people at LBHH who do so much to create the best possible experience for our loved ones and all residents. Click here to nominate (as often as you can) your most recent outstanding staff, department or management: https://bit.ly/recognitiontree
