Connections Podcast

Understanding the changes to Medicare Advantage plans


Listen Later

Medicare open enrollment starts next week. In September, letters went out to recipients explaining that there would be changes. Some plans are being dropped completely. This has caused a great deal of confusion and concern. We address the changes and answer your questions.

In studio:

  • Andy Napierala, vice president of Medicare and individual market sales for Excellus BlueCross BlueShield
  • Rene Pettenski, manager of the Health Insurance Information Counseling Assistance Program at Lifespan
