Medicare For The Lazy Man Podcast

Ep. 815 - News story starts: REVEALED: UNITED HEALTHCARE... You'd better strap in!


Listen Later

In the "Medicare Advantage Minute" we have an item detailing a series of accusations about UHC having planted "operatives" in nursing homes.

The goal was to dodge big medical claims by manipulating treatment and stopping hospital transfers. Yet to be determined whether there was any collateral damage.

On a lighter note, we visit "Your Medicare Benefits 2025" to learn exactly how Medicare might cover humidifiers.

A valued client writes in to ask whether a recent disturbing encounter with solidified intestinal contents might drive him to debtor's prison. After detailing the mathematical calculations Medicare will use in covering the medical charges, the excellent protection provided by Medicare and his High Deductible Plan G may surprise you.

I was thrilled to receive some correspondence from a happy housewife who requested my best Medicare supplement recommendation for her and her husband. 

At least I was thrilled until I learned that they live in Massachusetts, the place with the worst Medicare supplement environment in all of the USA. The fun continues in a future episode so be sure to stay tuned.

Finally, an old line property & casualty company brings its Medicare supplement offerings to my portfolio. The first notice I was included regarded a planned rate increase in Nevada.

True to form, Plan G was in line for a 28% bump in rates while HDG was due for only 11%. Think about what I have been preaching: 28% of a large number would be a much more painful rate increase than 11% of a much smaller one.

Give me High Deductible Plan G every time!
