Hi Lindsey, I am 66 and my wife is turning 65 December 12, 2020. My last day of work is the same day, and that is when my company insurance will end. Both of us are enrolled in Medicare A & B beginning in December 2020. What are our best options if we plan on living in two separate states as we get ready for retirement?
Hi Dale! If you live in two separate states your best option is to enroll in a Medigap plan since it will travel with you. Medicare Advantage plans are county-specific and will not travel with you from state to state. Your Medigap Open Enrollment Period will begin the month your Part B goes into effect. That is your 6-month window to enroll without having to answer health questions.
Thinking about changing from supplement plan to advantage because advantage is 0 premium plan.are advantage plans worry free
Hi Gerald! Medicare Advantage plan premiums are low, and in some areas zero dollars, because your out of pocket costs are high. It’s important to understand what you’re enrolling in before you make the change. If you leave your Medigap plan for a Medicare Advantage plan, you may never be able to enroll back into another Medigap plan in the future in case you need better coverage. We have a great video and article that explains in detail the differences between Medigap plans vs Medicare Advantage plans.
My husband is retired and has Part A only because he is covered by my employer’s health insurance. I plan on retiring in Jan. 29th, 2021 and need to get coverage for him. He needs Part B & D But I read that Advantage plans called Part C cover all of these. Is this the best way to go as far as price and coverage. He does have to go to the Dr pretty often. No major issues like heart problems. Mainly vascular, clotting issues and arthritis. Knee replacement in his future.
Hi Cheryl! The answer to that question depends on many different factors. Factors that include what your comfortable paying out of pocket as you use the benefits, do you travel, do you have more than one doctor, etc. Medicare Advantage does not work the same as Medigap. It’s important to understand the differences, we have a great article that compares Medicare Supplements and Medicare Advantage you can read.
I am under 65 and became covered under Medicare (disability) after January 2020. Do I have to pay for my part A and B? Also, if I was already enrolled in vision and dental insurance through the healthcare marketplace is it more beneficial for me to continue that coverage through the marketplace or do I need to purchase supplemental insurance (Medigap) or (Medicare Advantage) that includes vision and dental?
Hi Sonya! If you’re collecting SSDI, you won’t be eligible for Medicare until you’ve received SSDI benefits for 24 months. On the 25th month, you’ll qualify for Medicare. As long as you paid into Medicare for at least 40 quarters, your Part A benefits will be premium free. You don’t have to enroll in Part B if you don’t want to, but you’ll be automatically enrolled in the 25th month of collecting benefits. You’ll want to call your local Social Security office to tell them you don’t want to be automatically enrolled to avoid your SSDI checks from being automatically drafted the Part B premium. Neither Medicare or Medigap include vision or dental benefits. You’ll want to either continue your vision and dental insurance through the Marketplace, or look into enrolling in a separate stand-alone dental, vision, and hearing plan outside of the Marketplace. Some Medicare Advantage plans include dental benefits, however, those benefits are very limited. Since you’re under 65, depending on the state you live in, you will more than likely have sky-high premiums for a Medigap plan. You may find that a Medicare Advantage plan is more affordable until you age into Medicare at 65. Once you turn 65, your premiums will be much cheaper for a Medigap plan. However, you will only have Guaranteed Issue for the first six months after turning 65 and enrolling in Part B. You will want to make sure you enroll in a Medigap plan within the first six months, otherwise your disability could get you denied coverage. It’s only during the first six months you have Guaranteed Issue and cannot be denied coverage. I hope this helps!
Is it still possible to find a medicare supplemental plan that offers unlimited lifetime hospitalization? thanks…
Hi Jeff! Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, there are no Medigap plans that offer unlimited lifetime hospitalization.
What states have a plan g high deductible policy available for purchase now?
Hi Peggy! It’s more based on the carriers than the state. There is not an up to date list of states available at the moment. Give us a call and our agents can see what carriers offer high-deductible Plan G in your state as of now.
I am interested in changing my medicare coverage. I became disabled in Mississippi and became covered by Medicare before I turned 65. I have since had my 65th birthday. I would like to learn what may be the best plan option for me at this time.
Hi William! Those who enroll in Medicare before 65 get a second Medicare Supplement Open Enrollment Period when they do turn 65. The first 6 months you’re 65 & your Part B is in effect you’ll be able to enroll in any Medigap plan that’s available in your area. To be able to see what plan is the best option for you, we would need some more information. Give us a call so we can help!
