Totally Confused? Buy Yourself Time...Free

Many people don't know where to begin, and the questions continue from there. One very popular one: which is better, Medicare Advantage or Medigap? That is complicated, and seniors are faced with many, many options. If you absolutely not decide, or if you are running out of time to decide, then you can use the 12-Month Trial Period, one of Medicare's Special Enrollment Periods (SEP). Find out how it works, and why this is important.

"I Don't Know Where to Start"

If you are turning 65 years old,

If you have a Medicare-eligible parent that you want to help,

If you face healthcare costs you don't understand under Medicare,

If you need information that you can use, in language that you can understand,

"I'm All Set": Probably Wrong

a. Employers change (or eliminate) retiree benefits

b. Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D (Rx) change every year

c. PPACA means that pre-Medicare family members can get private insurance

This is just for starters...

I Know Her as "Sue," But She's An Adult Now...

We talk about Susan's professional practice in Immigration Law, and let her talk to how the process currently plays out. She also talks about a variety of outreach programs for minorities and newcomers to the U.S. Website: www.imlaw.biz

I remind her (opaquely) that I used to call her when we were younger (we attended college together), and she never picked up the phone....good thing she still has a good sense of humor.

This Just In: Women Fill Lots of Roles

I spoke with Deborah St. Hilaire, author of Divaluation, and life coach. We talked about the many, many, many different roles that a working female plays, weirdly made more extreme by the progress made by those women who can.

I learned a lot, Deb mentions that she has ways for people facing similar issues to connect. Good stuff. We will do it again when she launches her online radio station.

For Those That Qualify for "Extra Help," Rx Aid is Just the Beginning

As the cost of specialty prescriptions skyrockets, according to a New York Times in an article yesterday, April 15, this podcast covers a federally-funded program called Extra Help which can help towards those costs.

In addition, there are additional benefits that are part of this. Many of these are unknown, and Medicare beneficiaries should take full advantage.

First Time in a Medicare Advantage Plan? You Can Change....

Very few people know that the Medicare rules regarding enrollment are largely in a consumer's favor. A perfect example is here. If it is your first time in purchasing a Medicare Advantage plan, and it has been in effect for less than 12 months, the you can change to another Medicare Advantage plan, OR return to original Medicare, and couple it with a Medigap & stand-alone prescription plan (Medicare Part D). No calendar restrictions.
