Q&A with Colton Fisher

What is the Medicare Advantage 5-Star Special Enrollment Period? Is this different from '"OEP'" and "AEP"?

Answer: Yes this different from OEP and AEP. You can enroll into a 5 star Medicare Advantage once per year between 12/8 to 11/30.

What is an HMO-POS Medicare Advantage plan, and how is it different from an HMO or PPO?

Answer: An HMO-POS plan is a type of HMO that lets you go out of network for some services, usually at a higher cost, giving you a bit more flexibility than a standard HMO but typically at a lower cost than a PPO.

It works mainly like a regular HMO: you choose a primary care doctor, stay in the plan’s provider network for most care, and may need referrals and prior authorizations.

The “Point of Service” feature means you can use certain out-of-network doctors or facilities for covered services, but you’ll usually pay higher copays, coinsurance, or a separate deductible when you do.

• An HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) Medicare Advantage plan requires you to use doctors, hospitals, and other providers in the plan’s network, except for emergencies, urgent care when you’re traveling, or temporary dialysis.

• A PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) also has a network, but you can see any doctor or hospital—inside or outside the network—without choosing a PCP or getting a referral.

Can I switch from a Medicare Advantage plan to Original Medicare with a Medigap plan mid-year if I’m diagnosed with a serious illness?

Answer: Most likely, you would be denied a Medicare supplemental plan outside of a guaranteed issue period. This is a conversation best served over the phone. Happy to help you. Contact me.
