For individuals newly eligible to Medicare, the Part B deductible cannot be covered. Therefore, the Medicare Supplemental Policies Plan C and F will no longer be an option for newly eligible individuals starting January 1, 2020. However, individuals who already have Plans C and F will be able to keep their current versions of the plans (grandfathered) and individuals eligible for Medicare prior to January 1, 2020, can purchase the current version of Plans C and F on or after January 1, 2020.
Medicare Supplement Policy Plan G will be the most similar option to replace Plan F.

The Psychiatric Emergency Response Teams (PERT) consist of specially trained officers and deputies who are paired with licensed mental health professionals. Together, they respond on-scene to situations involving people who are experiencing a mental health related crisis and have come to the attention of law enforcement.
Hosted by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, the Take Me Home program is designed to minimize Law Enforcement response time and maximize search efforts to find a lost individual who cannot communicate. It includes but is not limited to persons with Autism, Dementia, Alzheimer’s, Down Syndrome, deafness or any other Developmental Disability.
