If you're a California resident who is eligible for Medicare, don't go anywhere! We're telling you what you need to know about Medicare Supplements in California and explain in detail how the Birthday Rule works.

Once you become eligible for Medicare, you'll have the option to enroll in supplemental coverage. This supplemental coverage comes in the form of either a Medicare Advantage plan or a Medigap plan with an additional Part D drug plan.

You can enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan during your Initial Coverage Election Period. If you missed your Initial Coverage Election Period, you could enroll during the Annual Election Period that comes around each October. If you enroll in a Medigap plan instead, your first opportunity to do so is during your Medicare Supplement Open Enrollment Period.

If you miss your Open Enrollment Period, you can still enroll in a Medigap plan at any time of the year. However, you'll have to go through medical underwriting and answer health questions.

Good news: if you're a California resident and want to change Medigap plans, you'll have an additional opportunity to do so without answering any health questions. The California Birthday Rule says that each year, 30 days before your birthday and 60 days after your birthday, you'll have the option to change your Medigap plan without answering health questions.

You're allowed to switch plan carriers, keeping the same plan with the same benefits, or switch to a plan with fewer benefits. For example, if you have Plan F, you can enroll in a different Plan F with another carrier. Alternatively, you can enroll in Plan G.

As another example, if you have Plan G, you can enroll in Plan G with a different carrier or enroll in Plan N. However, you won't be able to enroll in Plan F since Plan F has more benefits than Plan G.

Your premiums can increase year over year, so California residents benefit from the Birthday Rule. It allows you to shop other rates in your area to see if you can find one that's more affordable. If your health declines, you won't have to worry about that impacting your rates.

You can apply for Original Medicare (Parts A and B) in California, online, via telephone, or at your local Social Security office.

If you're ready to enroll in a Supplemental Medicare plan in California, give us a call! Once an agent collects some information from you, they'll be able to compare all your Medigap options for your area.

If you're not sure which Medicare Supplement plan to enroll in, don't go anywhere! Today, we're going to review the top Medicare Supplement plans.

Hi everyone, my name is Lindsay Engle. I'm the Medicare expert for Elite Insurance Partners and MedicareFAQ.com.

The top Medicare Supplement plans include Plan F, Plan G, and Plan N.

First, we'll talk about Plan F. Medicare Supplement Plan F is one of the most popular plans due to it leaving you with zero out-of-pocket costs outside of your monthly premium. Plan F is considered first-dollar coverage. This means that when you go to the doctor or the hospital, you'll never have to pay any copays, coinsurance, or deductibles. It's important to remember, though, that more benefits come with a higher monthly premium. So, Plan F is one of the more expensive plans because it includes the most benefits.

Plan F is only available to those eligible for Medicare prior to 2020. Regardless of if you have enrolled in Part B and a Medigap plan already, you are still eligible to enroll in Plan F. Those who were not eligible to enroll in Medicare before 2020 are not eligible to enroll in Plan F.

The runner-up plan to Plan F is Plan G. If you are not eligible for Medicare until after 2020, Plan G is the plan with the most benefits you are eligible for. Plan G covers all the same things as Plan F. The only difference is the Part B deductible. So, when you go to the doctor's office, you'll be responsible for paying the Part B deductible. Once you've met the Part B deductible, your benefits will kick in at 100% and you'll have no additional out-of-pocket costs.

Last but not least on our top Medigap plan list is Plan N. With Plan N, you'll still be responsible for the Part B deductible. In addition, you'll be responsible for a $20 copay at the doctor's office and a $50 copay at the emergency room. These copays keep your monthly premium lower. The only other out-of-pocket cost you'll be responsible for with Plan N is in the form of excess charges. The majority of beneficiaries don't need to worry about excess charges. To learn more about excess charges, read our article below.

That about wraps it up! We hope you found this video on the top Medigap plans helpful. If you did, make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel.

Medicare beneficiaries have the option to obtain additional coverage that will supplement their original Medicare benefits. You can choose between a Medicare Advantage plan or a Medicare Supplement plan. Today, we will compare both side-by-side, so you can make the best decision for your health care coverage.

When you enroll in Medicare, you have the option to enroll in Part A and Part B. Part A is your hospital coverage and Part B is your doctor's coverage, or medical coverage.

There are still many out-of-pocket costs when it comes to Part A and Part B. This includes deductibles and coinsurance. In order to fill in the gaps of coverage that original Medicare doesn't include, you'll need to enroll in supplemental coverage. For this, you have two options. Option 1: a Part D plan with a Medigap plan, or Option 2: a Medicare Advantage plan.

If you are enrolling in a Medigap plan, it is recommended to add a stand-alone Part D plan because Original Medicare does not include prescription drug coverage. Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans cover additional, out-of-pocket costs you are otherwise responsible for, such as coinsurance and deductibles.

The second option you have is to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan. Medicare Advantage is not the same as Original Medicare. Medicare Advantage plans are managed healthcare plans offered through private insurance companies.

Medicare Advantage plans tend to have lower monthly premiums when compared to Medigap. Some Medicare Advantage plans come with ancillary benefits like dental and vision. Some also include prescription drug coverage. Due to the low or $0 monthly premium, beneficiaries need to pay more out-of-pocket as they use the benefits.

You may be wondering, how are Medicare Advantage plans free?! The Medicare Advantage carrier is paid around $1,000 per month by Medicare to take on your risk. That is how they are able to offer such low premiums, including some $0 monthly premiums.

In addition, Medicare Advantage carriers make money from cost-sharing. Unlike Medigap, you'll have copays every time you see a doctor. If you see multiple doctors within one visit, you could have just as many copays to pay in one exam.

It is also important to know that you still have to pay your monthly Part B premium with a Medicare Advantage Plan. A common misconception is that you don't have to pay the monthly Part B premium. This is not true and you will still be responsible for it.

You see many Medicare Advantage commercials throughout the year, especially during the Annual Enrollment Period. This is because carriers want these policies to seem more attractive to you with their $0 premiums and additional benefits. This makes them seem like all-inclusive plans. Keep in mind, however, that they are paid by Medicare to take on your risk and they will make their money between Medicare and cost-sharing you pay out of pocket when you use those benefits.

Medicare Advantage Plans need to cover the same benefits as Original Medicare. However, it is up to the carrier how much they will cover for that specific service. While Medicare may pay 80% for your doctor visit, Medicare Advantage might cover less than that as well as throw on additional cost-sharing in the form of copayments and coinsurance. All of this can quickly add up to more than the premium would have been for a Medigap plan.

So, is it better to have a Medicare Advantage plan or a Medigap plan? This depends on your specific situation. One may not be better than the other. However, one might be better than the other for you.

Three Things to Consider When Deciding Which Plan to Go With:

1. Budget
2. Medical Usage
3. Travel Frequency

The last thing you should keep in mind is that if you enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, you may not be able to enroll in a Medigap plan in the future. 

There are many different enrollment periods for Medicare. Today, we will discuss one of the most important ones: the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period, which comes around every fall.

My name is Lindsay Engle, and I'm the Medicare Expert for Elite Insurance Partners and MedicareFAQ.com.

The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period is commonly referred to as the Annual Election Period or the Medicare Open Enrollment Period. It occurs annually, in the fall, between October 15th and December 7th.

This enrollment period is for beneficiaries who are already enrolled in Medicare to make changes to their coverage. This means that you must either be enrolled in Part A and Part B of Original Medicare, a Medicare Advantage Plan, or a stand-alone prescription drug plan under Part D.

If you're enrolled in Medicare Advantage, you can change from one carrier to another carrier or switch back to Original Medicare. When you switch back to Original Medicare, you can then choose to enroll in Medigap and Part D plans if you wish to do so.

If you're currently enrolled in Part D, you can choose to switch from one plan to another or drop your coverage altogether. You can also enroll in a Part D plan at this time if you only have Original Medicare without any prescription drug coverage.

A first key point to remember is if you're not already enrolled in Medicare, this is not the enrollment period for you. If you're looking to enroll in Part A and Part B for the first time and you're outside your Initial Enrollment Period, you'll have to wait until the General Enrollment Period, which runs annually between January 1st and March 31st.

Another key point to remember is that if you're choosing to enroll in a Medicare Supplement Plan at this time, you'll still have to answer health questions and go through medical underwriting. The only way around this is if your Medicare Open Enrollment Period is also happening during the Annual Enrollment Period or, due to a specific circumstance, you qualify for a Special Election Period.

The Annual Enrollment Period does not give you guaranteed issue rights. You can enroll in a Medigap plan at any time of the year. The only thing to remember is if you are outside of your Open Enrollment Period, which is the first six months after your Part B effective date, you will have to answer health questions. Any coverage changes you make during the Annual Enrollment Period will become effective January 1st of the following year.

Each September, your Medicare Advantage carrier or Part D carrier will send you a plan annual notice of change that will give you a brief summary of all your benefits.

Your notice of change will explain any plan coverage changes that will become effective the following year. You will want to pay attention to your premium. If you feel that the premium is increasing more than expected, it may be time to shop around for new plans.

If you have Medicare Advantage, you should also pay attention to the doctor network. Make sure your doctor is still within your plan's network.

Another important thing to check is your Part D drug formulary to ensure your current prescriptions will still be covered.

Medicare Supplement premiums are unique for each beneficiary. Yours will definitely not be the same as your neighbor down the street. In today's video, we're going to explain the factors that determine your monthly premium.

Hi, I'm Lindsay Engle, and I'm the Medicare expert for Elite Insurance Partners and MedicareFAQ.com. If you're like many Medicare beneficiaries, your first go-to to find Medigap quotes is online. You found a website, filled out a form, answered a few questions...only to find out that you actually can't get quotes without speaking to an agent.

You end up frustrated, wondering, "WHY CAN'T I SEE MY QUOTES ONLINE!?!?" Several factors impact your Medigap rates, and these are questions that you can't answer online. This is why you have to speak to a Medicare agent.

Now, we're going to go over which factors will determine your Medigap premium. Before we jump into these different factors, it's important to understand that all Medigap plans are standardized by the government. What this means is that each letter plan has a set of benefits that will stay the exact same regardless of the carrier with which you choose to enroll. The only difference will be the premium you pay.

(1) Your location: What you might pay in one state for the same benefits could be completely different than what you might pay in a different state.

(2) Your gender: Your gender could be a determining factor depending on the state where you live. Because females are mostly overall healthier than males, in some states they will find that they pay around $10-30 less in monthly premiums.

(3) Your age: If you enroll when you're first eligible at 65, you're going to pay less in monthly premiums than you would if you enroll at 75. Additionally, depending on the state where you live, if you're eligible for Medicare due to collecting Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) for 24 months, you can pay up to 3-4 times more in monthly premiums than those who age in at 65.

(4) Tobacco use: For those who smoke, chew, or use vaping products, you can expect to pay up to 10% more in monthly premiums. This is because those who use tobacco tend to have more medical conditions.

(5) Household discounts: Some carriers offer discounts to those who live in the same household, as long as they enroll in a plan with the same carrier.

(6) How you pay: Some carriers will charge you more if you choose to pay quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Also, because it's more cost-effective for the carrier to process your payment electronically versus by check or credit card, some carriers will discount your premiums if you choose to pay electronically.

(7) The letter plan in which you choose to enroll: As expected when you want more benefits, you will pay a higher monthly premium.

(8) Rating method the carrier uses to determine your supplement policy premiums: There are three rating methods a carrier can use to set the rates for their Medigap policies: community, issue age, and attained age. Attained age rated is the most common model used by carriers today.

(9) Rate increase history of the carrier: You want to make sure they have at least an A or better financial rating and have been in the market for at least five years.

(10) The time you enroll: The best time to enroll is during your Open Enrollment Period.

(11) Some carriers offer a 12-month rate lock: Even if your effective date isn't for a few months, you want to enroll now to prevent any rate increases between now and your effective date.

Hopefully, this video helped you understand why it's impossible for us to give you accurate quotes without speaking to you over the phone to collect more information! Our agents will be able to compare any plan with any carrier that is available in your area to get you the most accurate quote based on your personal information.

You become eligible for Medicare, which is a federal health program, when you turn 65 years old. You're also eligible if you've been collecting Social Security Disability Income for 24 months or diagnosed with End-Stage Renal Disease. There are two main parts to Original Medicare. This includes Part A and Part B. Part A is your hospital coverage and Part B is your doctor and medical coverage. 

When it comes to signing up for Medicare. Some are automatically enrolled in others will need to actively enroll. If you've been collecting Social Security benefits for at least 4 months, you'll be automatically enrolled into both Parts A and Part B. Your effective date will be the first day of the month you turn 65 years old. If your birthday happens to fall on the 1st of the month then your effective date will be the 1st of the month before your birthday. For example, if your birthday falls on July 1st, then your effective date will be June 1st. 

You'll receive your Medicare card around 3 months before your birthday. If you're not collecting Social Security benefits, then you'll need to actively enroll into Part A and Part B. You'll want to enroll during your Initial Enrollment Period. Your Initial Enrollment window will be 7 months and starts 3 months before your birthday, will last the month of your birthday and will end 3 months after your birthday.

There are three ways you can enroll in Medicare. The 1st way is going down to your local Social Security Office. The 2nd way is to go ahead and give the Social Security office a call to enroll. The 3rd way and probably the most easy way is to do it online.

To begin the online application process you'll need to visit Social Security's web site. That's ssa.gov/benefits/Medicare. Then you'll scroll to the bottom of the page until you see the big blue button that says apply for Medicare only. If you recently have started an application and did not complete it, you can return to your saved application here also. It will bring you to the next page that talks a little bit about the online application and an option to start a new application. So go ahead and select start a new application. And then it will ask you if you're applying for yourself or someone who's not with you. So select applying for myself. Then it will ask if you have a My Social Security account. If you do not have one you will need to create one. If you do have one it will then ask you to sign in. So let's assume that I currently do not have a My Social Security account. You will need to have an address that's within the United States and US Territories to create the account. So select yes and hit next. At this point it will bring you to secure.ssa.gov to create an account. At this point it's going to ask you a few personal questions. The form will take about 15 to 20 minutes to fill out. If you would like you can save it and complete it later.

You will receive a letter from Social Security Administration once they made a decision about your enrollment. 

Now, if you only have Part A and you delayed enrolling into Medicare Part B there are two additional forms that you'll need to complete to enroll in Part B. 

So if you already have Part A and you're only enrolling in Part B, then you'll need to also complete 40B form. Which is application for enrollment in Part B. Once you complete this form, you'll want to include it in your online application or mail into the Social Security office. Now, if you delayed Part B due to having group employer coverage, you'll also need to complete the L564 form. Which is request for employment information.

High Deductible Plan G is a newer plan that was recently introduced in 2020. It's a great alternative for those who find the benefits on the standard Plan G attractive but are looking to pay a little bit less in monthly premiums. High Deductible Plan G has the same exact benefits as a standard Plan G. The only difference is that you must meet the plan's annual deductible before your benefits will kick in at 100%. Keep in mind that it does not mean that you're going to have to pay the full deductible before any of your benefits kick in. All that means is that any cost-sharing that you pay-out-of pocket once it adds up to that deductible, then your benefits will kick in at 100%. This high deductible is what keeps the monthly premium significantly lower when you compare it to the standard Plan G premiums. 

So as long as you're comfortable with paying the high deductible out-of-pocket before coverage kicks in, then you'll end up saving quite a bit of money over the year in monthly premiums. For beneficiaries who don't want to have to worry about paying that high deductible out-of-pocket and are comfortable with paying higher monthly premiums than the standard Plan G is the right option for you.

The last thing to note is that if you are using your guaranteed-issue right to enroll in a high deductible plan, then you have to consider what year you became eligible for Medicare. If you were not eligible for Medicare until after 2020, then you can use guaranteed-issue right to enroll in High Deductible Plan G. However if you are eligible for Medicare prior to 2020 and you're using your guaranteed-issue rights, then you will not be eligible to use them with High Deductible Plan G. You'll be eligible to use them with High Deductible Plan F.

Before we go into the details on High Deductible Plan F. It's important to know your eligibility. If you are not eligible for Medicare until after 2020, you are not eligible to enroll in Plan F. If you are eligible for Medicare before 2020, then you are eligible to enroll in Plan F. If you aren't eligible for Medicare until after 2020 and you're looking for a high deductible plan, then High Deductible Plan G is the best option for you. 

High Deductible Plan F is a good alternative for those who are interested in the standard Plan F, but the higher premium is a little bit out of their budget. With High Deductible Plan F, you get all the same benefits, leaving you with zero out-of-pocket costs outside your monthly premium. The only other out-of-pocket costs you'll be responsible for is the high deductible.

Now it's important to remember, that just because there's a high deductible that does not mean you're going to be paying 100% of your medical expenses out-of-pocket before coverage begins. All this means is that any coinsurance you pay will be applied towards the high deductible. Once you've met that deductible then your benefits will kick in 100%. Giving you the same benefits as standard Plan F. Therefore, if you're not able to afford the monthly premiums for the standard Plan F, the high deductible version of Plan F would be a great alternative for you.

While some beneficiaries may find that High Deductible Plan F when you add all the out-of-pocket cost together including the premium and deductible, is less than the standard Plan F. Others may find that the standard Plan F is actually cheaper in out-of-pocket total cost with premiums compared to the high deductible version of Plan F. That's why it's important to speak to an agent to help you compare rates in different areas on all different plans.

Hi there. I'm Lindsay Engle and I'm the Medicare expert for Elite Insurance Partners and MedicareFAQ.com. And today's topic, we're going to talk all about Medicare Supplement Plan F. 

Medicare Supplement Plan F, also known as Medigap Plan F, has been the number one choice among many Medicare beneficiaries do to leaving you with zero out-of-pocket cost. Medigap Plan F is considered a first-dollar coverage plan. This Is because outside of your monthly premium it will pay for any cost sharing that you may be responsible for after Medicare pays their portion. 

Now the benefits may be very attractive to beneficiaries, however, with more benefits comes higher monthly premiums. Good news is if you find the monthly premiums for Plan F to be a little too high for your monthly budget, you do have some alternative options. The two alternative options you have are the high deductible version of Plan F as well as Plan G. 

All Medigap plans are standardized by the government. This means that regardless of the letter plan you choose the benefits will be the same across all carriers. That's why it's important to work with the license agent. That way they can compare the same letter plan across all carriers to find you the lowest premium. 

Now before you start comparing premiums for Plan F across all the carriers in your area. It's important to note if you're eligible to begin with. If you became medicare-eligible before 2020, then you are eligible to enroll in any first-dollar coverage plan. That includes planet F High Deductible Plan F and Plan C. However, if you were not eligible for Medicare until after 2020, you will not be eligible to enroll in Plan F. The best alternative would be Plan G.

Thank you so much for watching today. I hope you found this video on Plan F helpful. Until next time. Bye.
