MEDICARE ADVANTAGE MINUTE:                                                                     CMS (THE GOVERNMENT) TAKES AIM AT MEDICARE ADVANTAGE FRAUD

Correspondence:

Client Mike writes to ask me to find his wife a Plan G Medicare supplement with a better price. Her current Aetna plan has scheduled a $60+ monthly rate increase so Mike asked me to look for a better deal. 

Once again I explained the advantages of High Deductible Plan G (HDG) but Mrs. Mike is very risk averse and wants to stay with regular (expensive) Plan G.

A few weeks after, Mike contacted me again to announce that he plans to switch to HDG when his state mandated Birthday Rule period came around.

We address correspondence from some who have unusual situations with respect to Medicare.

An 81-year-old man is covered by Original Medicare only. His son writes to ask about the possibilities of improving his father's protection by acquiring a Medicare supplement.

Then Len writes to ask whether the series of steps his friend Dan has planned makes sense. The goal: disenroll from Dan's existing Medicare Advantage plan and begin to enjoy superior Medicare protection and freedom of choice with a supplement plan,

MEDICARE ADVANTAGE MINUTE!                                                                      THE NINE BIGGEST DISADVANTAGES TO MEDICARE ADVANTAGE!

I want to do a good job for my clients. Some companies make that easier than others. One of them is an absolute standout, in spite of not always maintaining rate stability with Plan G premium increases.

An insurance broker in Atlanta is worried about my diminished income. Agents make smaller sales commissions when they sell low-cost products like HDG.

Finally, I quiz Randy on which states are projected to be best and worst for retirement this year.

On the way, I inadvertently placed Eagle in Wyoming instead of Idaho!

Finally, beware of Kindle E-books! They now allow readers to ask questions about the content. That part is OK but the answers will come from AI and there will be no guarantee of accuracy. I would take my questions straight to the horse's mouth!
