Q&A with Al Saponar
What do you like most about being a Medicare agent?
Answer: As finding the right Medicare plan can be a daunting task for most Seniors, I find i rewarding to helping clear up the confusion for most of my clients.
Most of my clients are very satisfied with my assistance, and recommend me to others, as well as give five star reviews!
Are Medicare Advantage plans really "free," or is that just clever marketing?
Answer: Medicare Advantage plans require Medicare part A and part B for eligibility.
They use the part B premium funds to give clients a better plan, and more benefits than original Medicare itself.
What should I do if I find out that my preferred hospital isn't in-network with my Medicare Advantage plan?
Answer: First, I always check doctors, hospitals and prescriptions for my clients.
But, if something changed network wise, if its is still during open enrollment, we can make a change. If not, we can schedule a meeting for the upcoming Annual Enrollment period.
We also have ancillary plans available year round that can help cover what the Medicare Advantage doesn't fully cover.
I've been dreading hitting the donut hole each year. How will its elimination in 2025 change what I pay throughout the year?
Answer: It depends on your part D plan, and what prescriptions you take.
There also is a new rule establishing a Medicare Prescription Payment Plan to help spread out the copays for prescriptions over the remaining months of the year. If needed, it can be a huge benefit for many Seniors.
