Q&A with Carrie Chapman
My kids keep telling me to get a Medicare Advantage plan, but my friends say stick with Original Medicare. Who should I listen to?
Answer: Medicare is not a one-size-fits-all program. A Medicare Advantage plan can be very beneficial for many people, but for others, it might not make sense. I recommend sitting down with a licensed agent to go over all of the details. Things like medications, your doctors, and certain health conditions are important to consider when choosing a Medicare Advantage plan vs. staying with Original Medicare and a Medicare supplement.
So I heard something about Medicare drug costs being capped at $2,000 in 2025. Is that really happening or just talk?
Answer: Yes, this is true. The maximum out-of-pocket for prescriptions is capped at $2000 for 2025. This is true for Medicare Advantage plans and stand-alone prescription policies.
