Q&A with Andrew Bennett

What’s the most important question I should be asking about Medicare that I probably haven’t thought of yet?

Answer: The question you aren't asking might just be what options give me most control of my healthcare? The opposite question is important as well, What might limit my healthcare? With Advantage plans you have to stay in-network for your care and often there are prior authorization hoops to jump through.

With Medicare supplements there are fewer prior authorizations and when there is one they are generally just looking for Fraud, Waste, and Abuse. What they are not looking for are ways to protect their profits. They aren't looking for how they can squeeze more money out of the system to pay their CEO or have more money for their marketing budget.

Yes, there are times when an Advantage Plan is the right fit. It does depend on your budget and the amount of control you have really depends on the company you go with. In general though I think you retain more control of your healthcare with traditional Medicare and a supplement.
