March Madness With Medicare

How many of you feel confused about your Medicare benefits?  Well, join the crowd!!  I get so many emails everyday from people just like you who read this blog and wonder…am I getting the most for the money I spend on my Medicare coverage?

March 31st is the last day you can change from one Medicare Advantage Plan to another Medicare Advantage Plan.  After that you are stuck until the Annual Election Period which begins November 15 and ends December 31st of every year.

RED ALERT: If you joined a Medicare Advantage Plan within the past 12 months and do NOT like it, or you feel it does not meet your needs or that you were mislead by a salesperson or company, you can get OFF of the Medicare Advantage Plan within the first 12 months!!!  If you keep it longer…you may not be able to get on a Medicare Supplement because of the underwriting or health questions.   Call us to check on your options!

ORANGE ALERT:  If you are NEW TO MEDICARE and you joined a Medicare Advantage Plan and don’t like it, you are still within your open enrollment period and cannot be turned down because of health issues.  You can get back on Original Medicare which pays 80% of all doctor and hospital costs and take out a Medicare Supplement that pays the other 20%.  With a Medicare Supplement your only expense is your monthly premium.  There are NO co-pays, NO NETWORKS of doctors you must use.  You can go to any doctor or hospital of your choice! If you are NEW TO MEDICARE, PLEASE, PLEASE start out with a Medicare Supplement and Stand Alone Part D Plan.  We can help you!

GREEN ALERT: If you are losing your Retirement Plan Group Coverage and need to know what Medicare Supplement plans have the lowest premium, we also do a comparison of Medicare Supplement plans along with a comparison of the more than 50 different drug plans in your state!  You do NOT want to join a Medicare Advantage Plan!  All the Medicare Supplement plans include the same benefits…a Plan F is a Plan F, no matter what insurance company you buy it from.  The ONLY difference is the price they will charge you.  Why pay more?

The ugly truth of the matter is many Insurance Salespeople will try their best to get you to join a Medicare Advantage Plan because they get paid double the commission to do so!  Don’t fall for it!

So, that is the what’s up about the March Madness of Medicare!  Call our toll free number or go to the form on this page or go to www.MyPartDusa.com and fill out the form to get assistance.

MEDICARE PART D HELP!

HELP!  HELP!  HELP!

This is a word I hear hundreds of times a day this time of year.

You can use our free online comparison at www.MyPartDusa.com

We hope all of you are enjoying the Holiday Season and/or having a Merry Christmas….whatever this time of year means to you.  It is Merry Christmas to me!

I do wish the government would not have had the Annual Election Period right in the middle of the Holiday Season…wonder why they did that?  I can just hear that conversation….if we do it during the most busy time of year for everyone….maybe they won’t have time to figure out all these crazy plans!  HA!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:  If you are not confused, you just don’t know what is going on.

HELP FOR MEDICARE DISABILITY

ARE YOU ON MEDICARE DISABILITY?

  • What do you have to help you with your doctors and hospitals?

In some states, a Medicare Supplement may not be available to you based on the affordability, your eligibility, or your existing health conditions may prevent you from getting through underwriting.

You still need good affordable, quality health insurance, and a Medicare Advantage Plan may be best for you.  The only health condition that would prevent you from obtaining this valuable coverage is ESRD. (end-stage renal disease)

There are many different types of Medicare Advantage Plans, some would include your drugs, dental, and vision benefits.  For more information, please call the Medicare Advantage Plan enrollment center to talk with someone about all your options.

866-752-1795 – Advantage Plans

Please visit MyPartDusa.com for your Medicare Drug Plan Comparison.  We hope you find it helpful in making an informed decision for your 2010 drug plan selection.

As you all know our policy is that the best coverage is a Medicare/Medigap Supplement and stand alone drug plan.  However, for people on disability or who absolutely cannot afford the premium on these plans or they do not have a Supplement for disability available in their state…a Medicare Advantage Plan is the only option.

Do NOT GET FOOLED By The Big Double A

As I was watching yet another ad on TV for Medicare Coverage I came across another company who I cannot name but I think you know who I am referring to as the double A.  I do commend them often for their exceptional marketing techniques.  However, they were talking about and had the words MEDICARE SUPPLEMENT on the TV screen. I called the number and requested the information for Medicare Supplements ONLY!!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I GOT?

Medicare Advantage Plan Information

Please beware….these companies will try absolutely anything to get you on a Medicare Advantage Plan.  Please read my other blogs in the catagory section on the left hand side of this blog under “Medicare Advantage Plans” about why you should not consider this option.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When you are arguing with a fool, make sure he isn’t doing the same thing.

Medicare Company Big H Cuts The Cheese!

I know that everyone is so sick of all the Medicare commercials on TV.  We are ALL familiar with the Big H, I cannot say the name because they will have lawyers sending me letters.  I saw one this morning as I was getting ready to come into the office.  It had me in stitches…laughing, yet crying that these big insurance companies think Seniors and people on Medicare are so stupid.  Yet again, it also is simply criminal that they have made Medicare plans so confusing that we actually feel “stupid” when trying to get a drug plan comparison or decide between going with a Medigap/Medicare Supplement or a Medicare Advantage Plan.

This particular company actually had huge pieces of Swiss cheese to help us understand the “holes” in Medicare. The first piece of cheese had lots of holes in it showing what Original Medicare does not cover.  The second piece of cheese had less holes when you purchase a Medicare Advantage Plan, and the third piece of Swiss cheese only had one hole left for Part D drug coverage.  They were trying to help you understand that if you get their Medicare Advantage Plan that you will have NO HOLES IN YOUR MEDICARE PIECE OF CHEESE.

I WILL GIVE YOU A FEW MOMENTS TO STOP LAUGHING!

#1Original Medicare Parts A & B pay 80% of your doctor and hospital costs.  If you get a Medicare Supplement this covers the other 20%.

#2 - If you get a Medicare Part D drug plan comparison and choose a stand alone Part D plan you will have no more holes in your cheese.

The 2 options above are the only 2 things you need to have the best, most comprehensive, choice oriented coverage the Medicare system has to offer.

When you join a Medicare Advantage Plan you have no network of doctors or hospitals that may or may not take the coverage.  They aslo try to intice you with gym memberships, wellness care, dental care…etc….But, folks, THESE ARE JUST TEASER OPTIONS.  The actual benefits are not worth the risk you take in joining Medicare Advantage plans…….UNLESS

#1. You cannot afford the premium on a Medicare Supplement/Medigap plan

#2. You are disabled and there is no Medicare Supplement offered in your state or you cannot afford the premiums.

DON’T GET CAUGHT IN THE SMELL OF AN INSURANCE COMPANY CUTTING THE CHEESE ON YOU!
