RC Cosmo Club News and Notes Meeting – July 23, 2018
Black Hills Advocate – Presented by Jenny Schmidt
Our program today dealt with an organization in our community that assists individuals with their health care by
helping with various medical services such as paperwork assistance, organization, and planning services.
Paperwork assistance can be helping with health insurance, or financial benefits. Some of the information dealing
with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Administration benefits, disability situations and more. Help can
be given in applying to various assistance programs to help reduce monthly expenses.
In financial assistance, resources can be reviewed, a strategic plan can be developed to determine individual
limitations, processing of routine monthly bills, reconcile bank statements, and even help in negotiating the reduction
of various expenses.
Another area of the work involves estate planning, advance directives such as power of attorney for health care,
financial management as well as living wills.
Jenny is the owner of the company and was started after her experience in working with the health care field for
over 25 years. Most recently as the Director of Independent Living at Westhills Village Retirement Community.
Jenny works with a staff of three other individuals.
