I contacted Annelies just before the Thanksgiving holiday as I had several questions about Medicare drug plan options. She responded very quickly and spent time over the holiday weekend to prepare recommended options for my wife and I to consider on the following Monday afternoon. Happy to share that our premiums for comparable coverage went from over $800 each to zero for 2025. Much appreciated Annelies!!
Q&A with Annelies Van Schie
What if I missed my window to sign up?
Answer: If you missed your window to sign-up for Medicare you could qualify for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) , such as when you loose employers insurance (or other reasons). If you do not qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, you can sign up for Medicare Part A and/or Part B during the Open Enrollment Period which runs from January 1 through March 31 each year. Check the medicare.gov website or talk to a Medicare Insurance agent to find out what applies for you and how to go about the application process.
Why do doctors not like Medicare Advantage plans?
Answer: For Medical services and procedures, doctors need to bill the Insurance company you have your Medicare Advantage plan with. For certain services/procedures, pre-authorization is needed which takes longer with dealing with an insurance company.
If you have a Medicare Supplement Plan (also called a Medigap plan) such as Plan F, G, or N then the billing and medical services pre-authorization request goes to Medicare direct, which is a simpler process.
Both billing and pre-authorization might just be simpler and quicker for the doctors to deal with. The administration with a Medicare Advantage insurance company might be more work for the doctors' administrative office.
Hope this helps ...
