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.
Joke of The Day: Old Man – Honey, what has happened to our sexual relations? Old Woman- I don’t know, Dear, we didn’t even get a Christmas card from them this year.
So, now it is February! The new year has already started to go fast!
I hope all of you are sticking to your new diets or at least adding supplements to your diets, such as CoQ10 and Fish Oil and drinking lots of green tea.
I lost 50 lbs last year and am going to work on losing a few more by June. It is hard, but I try to keep motivated by knowing I won’t have to take so many medications and that means SAVING MONEY!!!

Now, to get down to business of Medicare…..as you know My Part D USA can give you the best service. Why? Because we actually do comparisons of drug plans and Medicare Supplements that will give you the coverage you need at the best prices. Just read the Testimonials. I get them in from people all over the country everyday. They are so tired of being confused and not knowing what companies to deal with. Since we are NOT an insurance company, we do not work for any particular plans and can help YOU find what YOU need, instead of what some insurance agent wants to sell you.
As always, if you have lost your retirement coverage or you are new to Medicare, we can help you any time of year get the plans you need. Just either fill out the online form or give us a call! Someone will answer the phone as well! Many people tell me how nice it is just to hear a human being on the other end instead of all the prompts for #1 if you want to listen to a recording, #2 if you want to leave a message or #3 if you want to pull your hair out!!
Hope you are having a GREAT 2010 so far and we hope to hear from you soon.
JOKE OF THE DAY: A man goes to his psychiatrist and says “Dr. what should I do, my brother thinks he’s a chicken?” The doctor says “why don’t you get him committed?” “I would”, the man says, but I really need the eggs!”
Everyday thousands of Seniors lose the coverage they earned from their employer retirement health care plans.
We can give you comparison prices for MEDICARE SUPPLEMENT/MEDIGAP plans to cover the 20% that Medicare Part A & B do not cover.
It is not too late to get your healthcare started January 1, 2010, just fill out the worksheet at www.MyPartDusa.com or call us toll free at 866-752-1795.
If you read the testimonials, on the right hand side of this page and click in the RED BOX to read all of them and there are literally hundreds on the blog, you will see why people come back to us each year for their drug plan comparison and refer people to us, their friends, family when they area turning 65 and need Medicare coverage.
We make sure you get the best coverage AND the lowest premiums. As you know a Plan F is a Plan F, or a Plan J is a Plan J, no matter which insurance company offers the coverage. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS ONE COMPANY WILL CHARGE YOU A HIGHER PREMIUM FOR THE SAME EXACT COVERAGE. That is where we come in to help you choose an “A” rated company while still getting the lowest premiums!
Our Consultants are NOT like a call center. They actually CARE about you. It may sound too good to be true, but we are small enough to still care. Even though we help thousands of people each year, we are not like those big companies that hire anybody that can fog a mirror to assist you with this most important decision.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It’s alright to be Goliath, but always treat people and act like David!
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!
#1 – Original 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!
QUESTIONCheech & Chong’s Next Movie dvd: I am losing my Retirement Plan from my company I worked at for many years. They are telling me that I can only choose between plans they are giving me at this insurance enrollment number. If I use another enrollment method or get different plans from what they are offering they won’t pay for it anymore. Can they do this? What do I really need to be concerned about getting on Medicare?
ANSWER: Yes, Virginia, there really is a Santa Claus! I’m sorry for being sarcastic, but it is amazing to me that companies out there are trying to confuse people getting on Medicare. YOU STILL HAVE CHOICES JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER AMERICAN CITIZEN WHEN THEY ARE FIRST GETTING ON MEDICARE!! What your company is really saying is…..we have made a deal with these “certain” insurance companies that if you “enroll” with them AND take out the plans “we want you to take out” WE WILL HELP YOU PAY FOR IT.
The Thomas Crown Affair videoMost people when they retire go on Medicare with no financial help. Usually if you have retired from a company, you can afford the $100 a month, give or take a little, for premium on a MedicareSupplement/Medigap plan, which is most certainly the best coverage and what you should be offered. If you are desperate and cannot afford this premium, THEN and only THEN should you take up the offer from your employer and join a Medicare Advantage Plan. This is INFERIOR COVERAGE AND HAS NO NETWORK OF DOCTORS OR HOSPITALS THAT WILL ACCEPT THESE PLANS. Also, they are not going to be available after 2011 anyway. So, my “educated guess” (yes, I’m being sarcastic again) is that since the insurance company gets paid at least twice the commission for selling you Medicare Advantage Plans, they want to get these sold as long as they can, and they make some kind of “deal” with your employer.
The All Together trailerAfter 2011, you will be right back in the same spot of choosing another kind of health plan. Please read more about Medicare Advantage Plans under the “category section” on the left side of the homepage of the blog.
What you need to do is to call a local agent that you trust, or contact us and get a comparison of Premiums on a Medicare Supplement/Medigap plan and also a comparison based on your drugs, of a Stand Alone Part D for drugs plan. That is ALL you NEED.Drop Dead Gorgeous hd
Now some of you are also used to having dental and vision coverage under your retirement program. There are no insurance plans for people on Medicare for dental and vision. The Medicare Advantage Plans have these little teaser benefits, but nothing like you used to have and should not be a deciding factor in chosing to use a Medicare Advantage Plan. Believe me, if there were any kind of decent vision and dental plan out there for Medicare beneficiaries, I would have found it. There are plans you can join, BUT THE PREMIUM IS NOT WORTH THE BENEFITS, OR YOU ARE WASTING YOUR MONEY. There are plenty of salespeople out there that will sell you dental and vision plans all day long. So just think about that…..
Universal Soldiers full movieWhen picking out a Part D plan, the only thing you need to worry about is saving the most on your co-pay and premium for the first $2,830 worth of drugs you buy. After that, you don’t need to use your drug plan at all….you NEED TO SHOP AROUND AND BUY YOUR DRUGS AT THE PLACE YOU CAN FIND THE BEST PRICE NOT USING YOUR DRUG CARD. ALSO, BEGIN THE YEAR BY NOT BUYING YOUR GENERICS ON YOUR DRUG CARD. If you read my other blogs about “drug savings tips” you will understand how this will keep you OUT of the DREADED DONUT HOLE LONGER EACH YEAR! The only people who should buy all their drugs on their drug plan are those that will hit the donut hole and reach the other side to the 95% coverage!! Get past that donut hole ASAP and begin getting your 95% coverage.
So, please find yourself a comparison of Medicare Supplement/Medigap plans and a Part D Plan, based on your prescriptions and enroll on those 2 things. You will be glad you did!!!!

I was honored to be on CNN 3 times last November during the Annual Election Period talking about how some of the GENERAL MOTORS RETIREES had come to us for help during their transition from group coverage to Medicare coverage. I was also honored to write a blog for one of the largest groups of GM Retirees www.OverTheHillCarPeople.com They needed information about what they could expect after they had lost their group coverage.
As always we recommend a MEDICARE SUPPLEMENT/MEDIGAP PLAN COMBINED WITH A STAND ALONE PART D DRUG PLAN , instead of a Medicare Advantage Plan. You can read more about the differences and why we do this by going to the categories section (left hand side of this blog) and clicking on those topics. With a Medigap Plan you can go to any doctor or hospital of your choice and not be worried about networks. Medicare Advantage Plans don’t even have a network of choices that you can be assured will take your coverage. Please use this BLOG to educate yourself on the different types of coverage BEFORE you sign up.

At My Part D USA we are getting hundreds of letters each day from people who want to get back on a Medicare Supplement/Medigap plan instead of the Medicare Advantage Plan they joined.

Excellent, very pleased. Best Policies – least expensive premiums. We found our Consultant to be a “true” gentleman!
- Mr. & Mrs. A. Koot, Arizona
Excellent service! Very knowledgeable, courteous and most helpful. I would recommend and have recommended My Part D USA to anyone needing Medicare coverage.
- Helen Kagan, California
I am sorry to say last year we used a company called (EH) initials. There was no comparison between the service we got from you and from them. Our Consultant hooked us up with the companies that fit our needs! Christopher and Karyn Blake, we are very happy that www.OverTheHillCarPeople.com sent us the information and advised us to contact you. We look forward to working with you each year in the future!
- Ray & Yvonne O’Rourke, Texas
Excellent service and I got all the information I needed and got all my questions answered. My Part D USA made a very easy process of getting enrolled on Medicare coverage.
- Sue Bell, West Virginia
SUPERIOR!! My Consultant is obviously very knowledgeable about Medicare coverage. He was extremely helpful. As a retired businessman I firmly believe all businesses must make a fair profit to stay in business. Your service is superior and will be in business as long as you want to be because of that. Oh, and thank you for NOT having a telephone tree!!! A real person answers when you call.
- Richard Linson, Indiana
My consultant was great! He answered every stupid question and gave great advice. My brother (a retired General Motors executive) recommended My Part D USA. Before that time I was so confused and ready to make the wrong decisions. You straightened me out of all my confusion. I have recommended you to my other brother who will soon retire as a college professor.
- M. S. Gutherie, Knoxville, TN
My Part D USA is outstanding in very way. An excellent and personal working relationship was easily established and all the confusing nuances about Medicare were fully explained.
- G. F. Roberts, Kentucky
My Consultant at My Part D USA was excellent, awesome, wonderful, caring and helpful! I could go on and on about him! He helped me with my husband who is hard of hearing and I hope he is still around with I turn 65 in 2015!
- Shirley Burchett, Texas
I appreciate the Consultative approach, not a hard or fast sell, an approach which would have caused me to hang up. I also appreciate (greatly) that you filled out the applications for me because they can be so confusing.
- Marc Apperman, SC
Your service was outstanding. I would highly recommend the gentleman I worked with to any and all! Working with My Part D USA was a pleasure. Insurance is not a happy subject to discuss. Thanks for taking the pressure off of a subject most people do not understand. Thank you so much!
- F. B Brooks, Texas
Such peace of mind was in for me after talking to My Part D USA! After spending weeks trying to wade through Medicare paperwork, finding you was a huge relief.
- Rich Chapman, Wisconsin
Thanks so much for helping me! I didn’t know which plan I needed but Mr. Blake chose it for me and I won’t need to get a referral for each doctor I see. This is so much better than my Medicare Advantage Plan.
- Hazel Farmer, TNdeaths of ian stone the dvdrip download
Before talking to My Part D USA I was absolutely clueless on what to do, he explained many Medicare requirements, supplements insurance plans and prescription drug benefits and cost savings for my needs. My Consultant was so great and explained all the details. Thank you so much for your support!
- Patricia Galaviz, AZ
My Consultant was so helpful in every way. He spoke so I could understand and follow what he was saying. Every time I called and that was about 4 or 5 times, he called me back. He assured me all would be fine and not to worry about anything. My nerves were shot from trying to figure all this Medicare out.
- C. Rutherford, W. Virginia
My Part D USA has been able to cut thru all the info and direct me to what is best for me. I won’t make a move without consulting them first. I recommend them to my family and friends!
- B. Trost, Oklahoma
Top Notch! My Consultant answered all my questions. I was so glad to find someone to talk to through this MAZE of Medicare. I have referred My Part D USA to my brother.
- S. Page, Iowa
My Consultant was very helpful and answered any questions or got the answer and called me back. I found the help that I needed to decide what to do. I was not pressured into a plan that did not work for me. She understood right from the beginning as to what I was wanting. She helped me fill out the forms and get them submitted. Thank you for being very knowledgeable and kind.
- M. Wester, MO
Very kind and so helpful! All of my questions have been answered and I’ve received special attention that I am glad I’m working with My Part D USA and not some other place.
- Mr. & Mrs. Lowell, Tennessee
I was surprised to see how much lower I could get my Medicare Supplement Premium after I had a comparison done with all the well known companies, such as AARP, Aetna and BCBS. Thanks for helping me save money!
- D. Broody, Texas
My Consultant was extremely helpful and informed. The assurance that your company is there to help find coverage that works best for my needs is so valuable. My husband used My Part D USA when he retired. We were so happy with his experience that we turned to you again!
- Donna Smith
Our experience with My Part D USA was very helpful, courteous and answered our questions effectively. It helped so much to narrow down our choices to get the right coverage. We appreciate the personal message in our packet from Karyn Blake, the founder and writer of the blog. Everyone we dealt with and the impression all contact with your company left us with is that you CARE about helping your clients get the right coverage for their needs. The info on your website is also very useful.
- Michael & Jane Harris, Ohio
Absolutely wonderful! I asked my Consultant in excess of a MILLION questions. He was so patient with me and answered my promptly and accurately.
