More At Stake with Medicare
We want everyone to know about a service we’ve been offering for several years and about which we’ve received extremely and uniformly positive feedback, our Medicare Essentials Consultation.
We have historically provided this educational and basic advisory service to individuals and couples. Recently we’ve also been engaged by larger companies and have received inquiries from a wide array of professional firms who want this information for their staff and retirees.
Why do so many people want to learn about Medicare?
This consultation was worth every penny. I wish someone had walked me through and explained Medicare like this when I first went on Medicare.” Paul H.
· Medicare has become more complex. We have Medicare Parts A, B, C (Advantage Plans), and D as well as private Medicare supplements (typically A through N less E, H, I and J).
· Medicare has become more expensive. Medicare Part B premiums became income indexed in 2007 and Medicare Part D last year. It may seem absurd but it is a fact that many Americans pay more for their income indexed Part D contribution than for their Part D premium itself. Premiums can change every year based on income. As you might expect, sometimes there are mistakes in these calculations.
· Medicare enrollment rules are strict and unforgiving and typically ensnare those who work the longest (beyond age 65) and pay into the system their entire adult lives. If Part B enrollment isn’t handled properly, one pays premium penalties for life and often has a gap in coverage.
