I believe you two will work together nicely and from my vantage point, you will get from her what you need.” Resnek brags to Estes, saying, “There is nothing like what I do in community journalism today.” The corrupt publisher wasn’t wrong – there has never been anything like what he did.

Melissa Bagley, her family, and a friend were visiting Franconia Falls in Lincoln, N.H. Tuesday afternoon when her 10-year-old son slipped and fell into the water. Mrs. Bagley and her husband, Everett Police Lt. Sean Bagley, and their family were visiting the popular waterfall attraction Tuesday. “One of the minor children slipped and fell into one of the pools at the falls,” the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department said. “He could not get out of the pool as it was a fast, circulating current. The mother jumped into the river to help her child and began to immediately have trouble.” Two other siblings then jumped into the river to help their brother and mother. Melissa Bagley, 44, died Tuesday in New Hampshire trying to save her 10-year-old son who was caught in a water current at a waterfall. She is the wife of an Everett Police lieutenant, Sean Bagley. While they were able to help their 10-year-old brother to safety, another brother, 18, became lodged in the waterfall’s boulders and could not escape. At that moment the children’s father, who was looking for their mother, found her on a rock and immediately began CPR. “Unfortunately, she was unable to be revived,” offi cials ACCIDENT | SEE PAGE 5 ׉ 7cassandra://mIAvkATpqORvPn5BR70oFKQgLG67soEAfm6E5o_cHs8,B`̰dށ_Udށ_T PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://MhfMn-2QyAjC1wXUu3Ql7zt4j53bdZHbXfZuC3UssKs.`)׉ 7cassandra://M2UZg1lNxRdNyLM5sqD0XYJPVUp0pJhXtd78zS2Fl9Mͪ4`J׉ 7cassandra://j6C8OvAgbHVK3jaO4j2GXIWWc8yLVUcKMAAUU-VhHqM/`̰׉ 7cassandra://dZJqDu4eeDwQEFkrl8tZowQQmbdifZW5ZQLqRdHdvi4͠dށ_ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://icxYTHonhA_FoUbZHJC0Yth2vRrYI-Y8dd4VLY8QFbE`)׉ 7cassandra://5sQ29UqBPchBV2zU5koVwkHmKm0qvct3byo8gJpJs1E͚ `J׉ 7cassandra://3R4VnY8GRMovW_QdgE_sgrQtEfIkILw8ihXkPW3FXRY.`̰׉ 7cassandra://Umu8q-JmO73AcPkVMUK1vsRfEZ0_ScDvZ8B0-QzaUxolV͠dށ_נdށ_9ׁH"http://www.eight10barandgrille.comׁ ׁ Јנdށ_~X9ׁH$http://FACEBOOK.COM/ADVOCATE.NEWS.MAׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 2 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 18, 2023 DiDomenico celebrates transformative budget that brings unprecedented education funding to his District S tate Senator Sal DiDomenico worked alongside his colleagues to secure billions of dollars in this year’s state budget to improve our schools, support educators, expand access to early education and ensure students from all Massachusetts zip codes and of any A ability can learn and thrive.

Following a June 26, 2023, hearing when counsel for both the mayor and the defendants were present, the court ruled that Mayor DeMaria “has demonstrated a likelihood that he will recover judgment, including interest and costs, in an amount equal to or greater than the amount of the attachment over and above any liability insurance shown by Defendants to be available to satisfy the judgment. The Court therefore approves real estate attachments in the amount of $850,000.” According to the notice, Writs of Attachments in the amount of $850,000 will be issued against Philbin’s property at 67 Chelsea St., Everett, and Joshua Resnek’s home located at 229 Ocean St., Lynn.

She also said those who don’t have CORI checks or fail them be reassigned to jobs that don’t involve entering people’s homes. Poste was sexually assaulted by an Everett firefighter in 2019 and has pursued the matter since then. “I don’t know how much more I have left in me to come before the City Council and ask for protection from sexual predators,” she confessed. $2.95 GALLON We accept: MasterCard * Visa * & Discover Price Subject to Change without notice 100 Gal.

It would violate the Open Meeting Law to discuss a matter not on the agenda because there’s no advance notification to the public the matter is being discussed or something decided. Usually, the subject is placed on an agenda of a subsequent meeting. Councillor-at-Large Stephanie Smith, however, offered a “point of clarification,” as the Council has sent its concerns on the matter to Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “We’re not ignoring the issue, but it’s not something the Council can do,” she said. “We hope to get a response from the administration.” In other business the Council passed a proposal by members Smith, Darren Costa and Stephanie Martins “that the Legislative Code of the Council be amended to include a section on yearly performance reviews for City Council employees,” who include its Clerk of the Committee, Legislative Aide, the City Clerk and Assistant City Clerk. “We’re doing this for accountability and transparency,” Smith explained. “There should be some written record.” She also said the administration is instituting a similar practice and “it’s great the Council takes the first stab at this.” Our 51st Anniversary Chris 2023 Along with Costa, John Hanlon and Michael Marchese, Martins is on the Legislative Affairs and Elections Subcommittee. “This is about accountability for use of public money,” Martins added. “We want to make sure how things are done.” Costa said the reviews could pinpoint areas for improvements and are not designed to “take away jobs.” Hanlon, Marchese and Wayne Matewsky voted against the measure. “I’ve never seen a need for this,” Hanlon said. “It will take more time for the employees to do this than their regular job.” Although voting in favor of the measure, Councillor Richard Dell Isola asked, “Who will be doing the reviews?” In Public Participation, Sandra Juliano, who resides in Reading, Mass., misunderstood the proposal and commented on it as if it was a review of city councillors’ performance. “Our accountability is through elections,” Martins clarified.

The matter was tabled after no one responded to calls from Marchese for testimony during the scheduled Public Hearing on the matter. Hanlon said he would vote against the proposal based on National Grid’s incomplete work on a project on Broadway. Trani told him that was a gas project and the electric and gas divisions of National Grid “almost operate as two different companies.” Marchese said he agreed with Hanlon but was in favor of the charging stations because it was a service needed in Everett.

More than fourteen months ago, on June 2, 2022, the United States Attorney notifi ed the City that the United States Attorney’s Offi ce had opened a Title VII inquiry and requested the production of certain information relating to potential discrimination, harassment, hostile environment, or retaliation by City employees and/or offi cials. Title VII prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. The City was committed to a full and fair inquiry and retained outside counsel to conduct an internal review of the allegations and to assist in the inquiry, including interacting with representatives of the Department of Justice. The City demonstrated its commitment to a thorough and timely review by cooperating fully with all aspects of the inquiry and providing information and records responsive to the requests of the Department of Justice.

Thanks. The ad is on Matt [Philbin] and I – don’t pay attention to billing. Keep campaigning.” During September, emails between Resnek and Philbin suggest that the two were providing the city clerk’s mother with free political ads for her campaign. In a Sept. 21, 2021, email from Resnek to Philbin and James Mahoney, the former page designer and photographer for the newspaper, Resnek states, “Matt – we’ve taken care of Mrs. Cornelio as suggested/directed.” For Philbin and Resnek, they needed her son, City Clerk Sergio Cornelio, to work with them in order to embarrass the mayor – stating in their Sept. 2021 stories that Cornelio was extorted out of $96,000 in a real estate land deal, falsely claiming the mayor had nothing to do with the property sale and development, but wanted his money under threats to Cornelio’s clerk budget funding, among others. For months leading up to the 2021 election, the allegations made by Resnek, along with fabricated quotes he wrote and attributed to the city clerk, claimed the mayor was strong-arming him over the Corey Street land deal. But early on, Resnek and Philbin were wining and dining Cornelio and his parents, particularly his mother, on separate dinner dates with Philbin and his brother Andrew, and again, with Estes in order to provide information about the mayor’s “extortion plot” against Cornelio. Resnek needed the Globe to amplify his lies in order to create what he described as a holocaust of the mayor’s reelection chances. Prior to the publication of the Sept. 2021 Corey Street land deal stories, Philbin, as well as Estes, were looking for the closing documents as well as a copy of the $96K check to use as the proverbial smoking gun that Cornelio failed to provide. In his May 3, 2022, deposition, Cornelio testified that Resnek called him a couple of times, but never asked him any questions about the land deal with the mayor and never asked for any documents relating to the transaction. Cornelio stated that the quotes attributed to him in the articles were fabricated and that he never accused the mayor of extortion. “They weren’t mine,” testifi ed Cornelio to the mayor’s attorney. Cornelio testified that he never told anyone from the Leader Herald that the mayor was legally involved in the land deal but believed that Philbin and Resnek already knew, even stating that Resnek had told him that he knew of the mayor’s “general involvement” and that he had told Philbin that he sold the property to someone the mayor knew. Cornelio would later testify that Resnek, in an approximately six-minute meeting at his offi ce, did all the talking, saying to Cornelio that the mayor was trying to be involved in the property deal. Asked why he didn’t just tell Resnek that the mayor was involved from the very beginning, Cornelio said that he didn’t get to say anything in that meeting with Resnek – “It was statements being made with me being – sitting there.” Cornelio would eventually sell the property to a buyer brought by DeMaria, after deciding not to sell to three potential buyers – Greg Antonelli, Atty. Anthony Rossi and Guy Manganiello – saying he didn’t want to develop the property or take on developing partners. Antonelli offered only $1.2 million, according to Cornelio; conversations with Rossi never developed into anything; and Manganiello wanted to partner up. Then a buyer, Mr. Grossman, whom the mayor found, paid $1.3 million for the property. What’s the truth got to do with it? During Philbin’s third deposition, on Aug. 8, 2023, Atty. Jeffrey Robbins asked Philbin if he knew that a judge had ruled that the land deal between the mayor and Cornelio was indeed legitimate despite it being published to the contrary. At fi rst Philbin denied knowing if his newspaper published articles that were untruthful, especially in pertinence to the land deal, until he was shown an exhibit of a March 11, 2022, copy of a memorandum and ruling by Middlesex Superior Court Associate Justice Hon. James Boudreau which declared the land deal between the mayor and Cornelio was legal. Atty. Robbins asked Philbin to read the copy of the ruling by Judge Boudreau, which stated: “Based upon the content of the above referenced communications between the parties and Attorney O’Neil and the facts identifi ed below, “the Court fi nds by clear and convincing evidence that: (a) that the parties had a common interest in purchasing, developRESNEK | SEE PAGE 9 ׉ 7cassandra://BkjzYkW26FHxrmG-iNrrMzdk-XsN3gfR1bbpQmQlZxM,`̰dށ__׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 18, 2023 Page 9 Immaculate Conception Parish Hosts Multicultural Festival 23 on August 26 T he Immaculate Conception Parish of Everett is proud to announce “Multicultural Festival 23” on Saturday, August 26, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Lafayette School Park.

I don’t think so,” replied Philbin. When asked if he ever gave instructions to Resnek, he stated that it was the fi rst time he read the decision. “Did anybody show you a copy of this decision dated March 2022 before today?” asked Atty. Robbins. “I don’t remember,” said the newspaper owner. “So, the Leader Herald has never told its readers about this fi nding by a judge, correct?” “It hasn’t spoken about the litigation at all,” replied Philbin.

Thanks.” Elena Vega was his former director of operations, and Kay Donovan is his aunt, whom he stated worked for free but is also a partner in his marijuana company in Revere. Philbin confi rmed that the text was his instructions to Resnek. In a second exhibit marked Exhibit 12, the attorney showed Philbin a Nov. 24, 2020, email where Resnek writes to Philbin, “Matt, this is everything you need to see. We corrected the sacro [sic] ad with mistaken spelling of Jim Soper’s name.” “A mistake which you had pointed out to Mr. Resnek in a prior draft, correct?” “Yes. Correct,” stated Philbin. In Exhibit 13, Resnek sends a text to Philbin on April 6, 2021, at 7:38 p.m. asking, “I am assuming we are all set?” “You would typically let him know when you were okay with the newspaper being published, correct?” asked the attorney. “Not all the time,” he replied. In the next text, at 9:21 p.m., Philbin sends Resnek a text in response with a “thumbs-up” emoji. When asked for confi rmation that it was his approval to Resnek to publish the edition, Philbin dismissed it as just an emoji reply. Atty. Robbins followed-up with an April 13, 2021, text from Resnek at 6:44 p.m. stating, “You have the paper at MTP [a reference to Philbin’s email address]. It should have your approval.” Philbin responds to Resnek 24 minutes later, “Looks good.” Resnek replies, “Thank you. Strong paper.” Strong paper indeed – for the mayor. sic scene, drummer, Marty Richards and bassist Wolf Ginandes; who are also are/ were members of the Mohegan Sun-All-Stars and the Joe Perry Project.

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports local senators’ roll call attendance records so far for the 2023 session. The Senate has held 61 roll calls so far in the 2023 session. Beacon Hill Roll Call tabulates the number of roll calls on which each senator voted and then calculates that number as a percentage of the total roll call votes held. That percentage is the number referred to as the roll call attendance record. Thirty-two (82 percent) of the current 39 senators (one seat is vacant) did not miss any roll calls and have 100 percent roll call attendance records. It is a Senate tradition that the Senate president only votes occasionally. Current Senate President Karen Spilka follows that tradition and only voted on 12 (20 percent) of the 61 roll calls while not voting on 49 (80 percent) of them. Six (15 percent) of the 39 senators, other than Spilka, missed one or more roll calls. Sen. Liz Miranda (D-Boston) has the worst record. She missed nine roll calls for a roll call attendance record of 85.2 percent. The other five senators missed one roll call each for a roll call attendance record of 98.3 percent. They are Sens. Mike Barrett (D-Lexington), Adam Gomez (D-Springfield), John Keenan (D-Quincy), Patrick O’Connor (R-Weymouth) and Mike Rush (D-West Roxbury). Beacon Hill Roll Call contactBeacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen ed the six senators asking why they missed some roll calls. Only one of the six responded. “Although present in the Senate chamber for the one roll call in which I did not participate this session, I chose not to vote due to a potential conflict of interest,” said Sen. Keenan. The vote Keenan missed was on Gov. Maura Healey’s reorganization plan that would split the current Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development into two separate cabinet level departments: the new Secretary of Housing and Livable Communities and the renamed Secretary of Economic Development. Keenan did not respond to a request by Beacon Hill Roll Call to explain the potential conflict of interest. Sens. Miranda, Barrett, Gomez, O’Connor and Rush did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking them for a statement.

The number in parentheses represents the number of roll calls that he or she missed. Sen. Sal DiDomenico 100 percent (0) ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL GOV. HEALEY SIGNS $56 BILLION BUDGET – Gov. Maura Healey signed into law a $56 billion fiscal 2024 state budget. The package represents a 6.2 percent increase over last year’s budget signed by Former Gov. Charlie Baker. Healey vetoed $272 million in spending and the Legislature now has the opportunity to override the vetoes with a twothirds vote of each branch. “This budget makes our state more affordable, competitive and equitable,” Healey said. “It will make a real and meaningful difference in the lives of people across Massachusetts, lowering their costs, expanding access to opportunity, improving the quality of their life.” Provisions include $171.5 million to fund a requirement that all public schools provide free school lunches to all K-12 students in all schools regardless of family income; and free breakfast only to the students in schools which participate in the breakfast program. According to Project Bread, which was at the forefront of the coalition working to pass the law, 1,961(91.8 percent) of Bay State schools participate in the breakfast program. Massachusetts has now joined seven states, California, Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, New Mexico, Vermont and Michigan that have passed laws to make school meals permanent. “Today, Massachusetts made history,” said Erin McAleer, Presidentand CEO of Project Bread. “This victory for families across the commonwealth will have a lasting impact on generations of students to come.” The package also allows undocumented/illegal immigrants to qualify for the lower in-state college tuition rate if they attended high school here for at least three years and graduated or completed a GED. Other provisions include $50 million to support free community colleges; $50 million to create Green School Works, a program to fund projects to install and maintain clean energy infrastructure at public schools; $6.59 billion in Chapter 70 education funding for cities and towns, an increase of $604 million over last year; $504.5 million for the special education circuit breaker; $181 million for MBTA capital projects; $19.81 billion for MassHealth, the state’s Medicaid program that provides health care for low-income and disabled persons; and a new law that prisons must provide free unlimited incoming and outgoing phone calls for prisoners. THE GOVERNOR DECLARES A STATE OF EMERGENCY – Gov. Healey declared a state of emergency in Massachusetts due to the “rapidly rising numbers of migrant families arriving in Massachusetts in need of shelter and services and a severe lack of shelter availability in the state.” “State employees and our partners have been miracle workers throughout this crisis – going above and beyond to support families and using every tool at their disposal to expand shelter capacity by nearly 80 percent in the last year,” said Healey. “But in recent months, demand has increased to levels that our emergency shelter system cannot keep up with, especially as the number of families leaving shelters has dwindled due to a lack of affordable housing options and barriers to securing work.” Healey continued, “I am declaring a state of emergency in Massachusetts and urging my partners in the federal government to take the action we need to address this crisis by streamlining the work authorization process and passing comprehensive immigration reform. Many of the new arrivals to our state desperately want to work, and we have historic workforce demands across all industries. I am also calling on all of our partners – from cities and towns to the faith community - philanthropic organizations and human service providers – to rise to this challenge and do whatever you can to help us meet this moment.” The Healey administration also urged landlords, houses of worship, universities, businesses and private residents to open their facilities, homes and businesses to help house immigrants. “This is not a crisis that our family shelter system was designed to handle,” said Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll. “For months now, state government and our providers have been doing the work of stretching the system as far as it can safely go. But we really need to bring more people into this work to make it a true team effort. If you have an extra room or suite in your home, please consider hosting a family. Safe housing and shelter is our most pressing need.” Meanwhile, the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance condemned what it calls “the Biden administration’s failure to properly secure the southern border and the Healey administration for being complacent.” “Immigration should not be politicalized but the Biden administration is either playing politics or we are watching a historic failure in leadership,” said Paul Craney, spokesman for Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. “While Washington’s dysfunction may seem far removed, their failures are now starting to have a very real and tangible negative impact in Massachusetts.” Craney continued, “It’s no secret Gov. Maura Healey likes to travel out of state, perhaps it is time [for] the governor to take a trip to the southern border to see firsthand the open southern border crisis. Without recognizing the severity of the problem and reasons for it, which is an open border and unaccountable president, it will persist by draining resources from Massachusetts and its taxpayers.” FREE COLLEGE TUITION FOR KIDS RAISED BY NON-PARENTS INCLUDING GRANDPARENTS (H 1257, S 819) – A bill heard by the Higher Education Committee would provide tuition and fee waivers for any Bay State resident attending a Massachusetts public state university and who lives with a grandparent or other family member, other than their parents. “The bill would provide much-needed financial relief for young adults pursuing higher education in the commonwealth who were raised by family members other than their parents – such as grandparents,” said Senate sponsor Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Truro). “Foster children under Department of Children and Families (DCF) care have been entitled to a tuition-free education at state-schools for several years,” said House sponsor Rep. Paul Donato (D-Medford). “With 35,000 grandparents raising their grandchildren throughout the commonwealth, this legislation will allow students being raised by their grandparents to have an equal opportunity to a tuition-free education as their peers in DCF care.” FREE TUITION FOR SENIORS OVER 60 (H 1274) – Another measure before the Higher Education Committee would establish a pilot reimbursement program for Massachusetts public higher education institutions providing tuition and fee waivers to senior citizens above the age of 60.The program would apply, subject to availability and a maximum of four courses per academic years, to qualifying seniors who are enrolled in undergraduate programs, summer sessions, evening classes BEACON | SEE PAGE 14 ׉ 7cassandra://o_XEsf9oUgyCBFXFx3BxX3sNvwRHELxfQmUUfjTzjLM(@`̰dށ_p׉ETHE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 18, 2023 Page 13 Do you remember....

Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “This bill creates a mechanism for reimbursing these institutions and establishes a stable baseline funding level for future budget cycles. The goal is to encourage more seniors to take classes while also ensuring that the state’s colleges and universities are properly compensated for lost revenues.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “Former Gov. Charlie Baker had no authority to mandate the experimental COVID shots and deny religious accommodations to these state troopers. Let us never forget this insanity.

HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible latenight sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of August 7-11, the House met for a total of 30 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 13 minutes.

The 529 plan must have been owned by the beneficiary of the plan for at least 15 years. This is a valuable option when a child or grandchild decides not to go to college. If there are no other children or grandchildren with their own 529 plan to roll the monies into, rolling the 529 plan assets to a Roth IRA in the name of the benefi ciary not going to college is a good option, so long as the amount rolled over does not exceed $35,000. If the remaining assets in the plan then need to be cashed out, income taxes will be paid on the earnings as well as a 10% penalty. The contributions each year to the Roth IRA are subject to a limit. The limit for 2023 is $6,500. The conversion of 529 plan assets apply only to Roth IRA’s, not Traditional IRA’s. This was included in the SECURE 2.0 Act passed by Congress at the end of calendar year 2022. Say nir Sa a If, for example, there was $32,500 in your son’s 529 plan and he decided not to go to college, you could roll over $6,500 per year over the next fi ve years into his Roth IRA account until the 529 plan assets were fully exhausted. At the end of the fi ve-year period, the 529 plan assets would be depleted and your son’s Roth IRA account would be equal to $32,500 plus any earnings over that fi ve-year period. There are no modifi ed adjusted gross income limitations with respect to the ability to fund the Roth IRA contribution each year by rolling over monies from the 529 plan. However, your son or daughter would have to have at least $6,500 in earned income in order to max out on the Roth IRA contribution each year. The Roth IRA contribution limit will increase to $7,000 in 2024. There is an additional $1,000 contribution allowed for those individuals who are 50 years of age or older. The IRS needs to clarify whether or not there needs to be suffi cient earned income in order to rollover funds from the 529 plan to the Roth IRA in the name of the 529 plan benefi ciary. If your son or daughter had $32,500 in the 529 plan and the funds were rolled over to a Roth IRA, if the monies were invested over a 40-year period earning 8% per year, the balance in the account would exceed $706,000. This is another good reason to consider opening up a 529 plan for a child or grandchild. You now have more options available down the road if circumstances change and a child or grandchild decides not to attend college. Joseph D.

I’m due to get a physical and a colonoscopy this year, but I want to fi nd out what I’ll have to pay for before I go in. Just Turned 65 Dear Just Turned, You’ll be happy to know that Medicare covers a wide array of preventive and screening services to help you stay healthy, but not all services are completely covered. Here’s what you should know. Free Preventive Benefits Most of Medicare’s preven~ Legal Notice ~ ~ Legal Notice ~ Qualified Bidders For Portable Toilets - Porta Potties The City of Everett seeks sealed bids from qualified bidders for the supply, delivery, and service standard and/or ADA compliant portable toilets (hereinafter “Porta-Potties”) for several City-owned locations, contract 24-17 will be received by the Procurement Office, Everett City Hall, 484 Broadway, Room 14, Everett, MA 02149 until 1:00 pm on September 5, 2023 and at that time and place the bids will be publicly opened. Contract Documents may be obtained, at no charge, on or after August 16, 2023 at 9 a.m. the City Of Everett’s website. If, at the time of the scheduled bid opening, the bid opening location shall be shut down as the result of an emergency, the bids will be due and opened at the same time and location on the 1st business day the building is able to re-open. Bids will be accepted until that date and time. It is the responsibility of prospective proposers and or bidders to check that they have received all addenda. This contract is being bid under M.G.L. 30B. Bids shall be awarded to the responsible and eligible bidder offering services at the lowest price. The City of Everett reserves the right to waive any informality in or to reject any and all bids, for any reason the City determines to be in the City’s and/or the public’s best interest. August 18, 2023 tive services are available to all benefi ciaries (through Part B) completely free with no copays or deductibles, as long as you meet basic eligibility standards. Mammograms; colonoscopies; shots against flu, pneumonia, COVID-19 and hepatitis B; screenings for diabetes, depression, osteoporosis, HIV, various cancers and cardiovascular disease; and counseling to combat obesity, alcohol abuse, and smoking are just some of Medicare’s lengthy list of covered services. But to get these services for free, you need to go to a doctor who accepts Medicare “on assignment,” which means he or she has agreed to accept the Medicare approved rate as full payment. Also, the tests are free only if they’re used at specifi ed intervals. For example, cardiovascular screening blood tests once every 5 years; or colonoscopy, once every 10 years, or every two years if you’re at high risk. Medicare also offers a free “Welcome to Medicare” exam with your doctor in your fi rst year, along with annual “Wellness” visits thereafter. But don’t confuse these with full physical examinations. These are prevention-focused visits that provide only an overview of your health and medical risk factors and serve as a baseline for future care. Cost Sharing Services There are, however, a few Medicare preventive sernior C ior How Does Medicare Cover Preventive Health Services? vices that do require some out-of-pocket cost sharing. With these tests, you’ll have to pay 20 percent of the cost of the service after you’ve met your $226 Part B yearly deductible. The services that fall under this category include glaucoma tests, diabetes self-management trainings, barium enemas to detect colon cancer, and digital rectal exams to detect prostate cancer. For a complete list of services along with their eligibility requirements, visit Medicare.gov/coverage/preventive-screening-services. If you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan, your plan is also required to cover the same preventive services as original Medicare as long as you see in-network providers. Hidden Costs You also need to know that while most of the previously listed Medicare services are free, you can be charged for certain diagnostic services or additional tests or procedures related to the preventive service. For example, if your doctor fi nds and removes a polyp during your preventive care colonoscopy screening, you will pay 15 percent of the doctor’s service fee. Or, if during your annual wellness visit, your doctor needs to investigate or treat a new or existing problem, you will probably be charged here too. You may also have to pay a facility fee depending on where you receive the service. Certain hospitals, for example, will often charge separate facilities fees when you are receiving a preventive service. And you can also be charged for a doctor’s visit if you meet with a physician before or after the service. To eliminate billing surprises, talk to your doctor before any preventive service procedure to fi nd out if you may be subject to a charge and what it would be.
