39: The Big Changes to Medicare in 2016 with Diane Daniels

Listen Later

For Episode 39, I’m very excited to bring back Diane Daniels. You may remember her from episode 25 where she gave us the low-down on the present state of Medicare.

Diane is a renowned authority on Medicare and is the founder of the service, Senior Advisors for Medicare & Medicaid.  She is also the Author of The Medicare Survival Guide and the Host of the weekly podcast – Medicare Nation. Heads up boomers! This is important information that will affect you.

In this interview Diane talks about:
  • Why and how to drop your Medicare Advantage Plan. If you are dissatisfied with your Medicare Advantage Plan, from January 1st to February 14th 2016 you can drop your Medicare Advantage Plan and go back on your regular Medicare Plan.
  • Why the cost of your premium for Medicare Part B may be higher.
  • How delaying your Social Security Benefits may cause you to pay higher rates in Medicare Part – B.
  • Who really pays for people on Medicare and Medicaid?
  • The changes to Medicare Part D, your prescription drug plan, and why it will cost you more.
  • The irons that Diane has in the fire for 2016 and beyond.
