Helping You Understand Medicare

This takes approximately 30 minutes in which I will go over HOW Medicare works, its coverage and limitations, and it’s many options available to you to help you cover the 20% gap.

Medicare Review

This process takes approximately 15-30 min in which I collect your address, zip code and date of birth. It is preferable to go over your prescription medications to better quote a health plan that specifically covers those formularies. Note: if you do not enroll in a Part D - prescription drug plan, penalties will apply at a later date if you decide you want coverage.

Part C - Medicare Advantage

Medicare Advantage Plans work like an HMO. You work within a network of physicians and hospitals. Referrals are required. These plans are often $0 monthly premium policies and have extra benefits. Some examples of extra benefits these plans offer are: over the counter cards, healthy food, gym memberships, dental, hearing and vision too. These plans also have co-pays, deductibles, coinsurance, and maximum out-of- pockets expenses. Plans vary.

Part D - Prescription Drug Plans

You should enroll when first eligible or within 63 days of losing creditable coverage to avoid a penalty. Prescription plans change ANNUALLY and your prescription medications need to be reviewed every annual enrollment period (Oct 15 - Dec 7) to give you the best coverage possible at the lowest cost possible. An agent will need the exact spelling of each prescription, tablet/capsule, dosage, how many times per day, etc. and your preferred pharmacy to give you the best quote. This is a service my partner and I provide to our clients. Most agents do not do prescription drug reviews due to the fact they are time consuming and there is very little compensation. This is to provide service to our clients and ensure they have the best coverage possible at the lowest cost available to them. For 2023, one plan actually decreased their rates from 2022. However, for some clients even with no change in medication would have seen a greater out-of-pocket cost if they had stayed with the same plan because formularies and copays change. We saved one client from spending an additional $2000 if she had stayed with the same plan in 2023 that she had in 2022.

Part A & B

Part A - Often referred to as Hospital insurance, covers inpatient hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some health care. Part B - Is medical insurance. It covers certain doctors' services, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventative services. Reviewing these parts is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it ensures that the coverage meets the evolving healthcare needs of the individual, as medical requirements often change with age or changing health conditions. Secondly, reviewing these plans can also help individuals stay informed about any changes in policy, coverage options, or costs, which can be vital for financial planning and avoiding unexpected expenses. Lastly, regular review helps in maximizing the benefits and minimizing the out-of-pocket costs, ensuring the most effective use of the Medicare program.
