SENIOR AFFAIRS COMMISSION <br /> MINUTES OF THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1998 <br /> COMMISSIONERS PRESENT: Chairperson Walsh, Commissioners Harrison <br /> (arrived 10:25am), Moran, Nobles, and Walsh <br /> COMMISSIONERS ABSENT: Commissioners Borgens and Carpe <br /> GUESTS PRESENT: See sign-in list; over 50 people in audience <br /> STAFF PRESENT: Superintendent Corinne Centeno, Manager Linda Griffith, <br /> Administrative Assistant Denise Monroe <br /> The regular meeting of the Senior Affairs Commission was called to order by <br /> Chairperson Leo Walsh at 9:35am at the Veterans Memorial Senior Center, <br /> 1455 Madison Avenue, Redwood City, California. <br /> APPROVAL OF MINUTES <br /> Commissioner Walsh made the following corrections to the September <br /> minutes: <br /> -Page 3 under Housing, sentence should read: "Commissioner Walsh <br /> commented that she would like to see at least one meeting per year at Casa <br /> de Redwood and at Woodside Terrace." <br /> -Page 3 last paragraph should say the next meeting of the Commission will <br /> begin at 9:30am not 3:00pm. The September minutes were approved as <br /> corrected. <br /> ITEM 1 — PUBLIC INPUT 9-14-98 SEQUOIA MEDICAL GROUP BULLETIN <br /> ADVISING THAT AETNA SENIOR INSURANCE WOULD NO LONGER BE <br /> ACCEPTED AS OF 1-1-99 <br /> Chairperson Walsh stated that a letter was forwarded to the Commission <br /> regarding the Sequoia Medical Group dropping Aetna Senior Insurance <br /> coverage and the Commission's interest in this matter. Commissioner M. <br /> Walsh stated that she was advised by a social worker at San Mateo County <br /> General that everything is reverting back to the way Medicare worked <br /> originally; Medicare will cover 80% of your bill; your supplemental will cover <br /> the 20%. If you can get your doctor to agree to accept what Medicare will <br /> pay, then it is fine. If your doctor will not take the assignment from <br /> Medicate, then the patient will be liable for the difference which could be in <br /> the thousands of dollars. Commissioner Moran read a letter she received <br /> from her doctor which recommended that she make no changes on her <br /> health care coverage until she heard from her doctor. <br /> The following audience members spoke on this topic: <br /> Mary Ray of 3666 Farm Hill Boulevard spoke about her husband's need for <br /> cardiac rehabilitation and being denied coverage by Aetna. She noted <br /> coverage for this service was obtained but with many phone calls to Sequoia <br /> and her doctor. <br />
