Q&A with Andrew Norton
My plan covered my cataract surgery but not the lenses I actually needed-how do they get away with that?
Answer: Typically the cataract surgery is covered by Medicare under Part B. Unless they are deemed Medically necessary, your lenses may only be covered on a separate vision plan.
I'm confused about when I can change my Medicare plan. Can you clarify the different enrollment periods for me?
Answer: It depends on the type of plan you have.
- If you are on a Medicare Advantage plan, you have two different periods to change. During the Annual Enrollment Period from October 15th- December 7th, or during the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period from January 1st - March 31st.
- If you Have a Medicare Supplement plan, you can change this anytime during the year, however it generally requires a health assessment and you may be declined based on this. Some states, however do allow for a once-per-year change without underwriting
- If you have a standalone prescription drug plan, you can change these during the annual enrollment period from Oct. 15-Dec. 7.
