Q&A with Darlene Murphy
Answer: You may be denied a Medicare Supplement, however, there are certain times of enrollment where no health questions apply. Supplements are covered by private insurance companies, so they can deny acceptance.
Answer: I like helping people know the differences in coverage throughout their area, and across the Nation. Serving many communities and giving back is what makes me happy.
Answer: That is specific to each individual person, and coverage area. No 2 cases are exactly alike, seek help from a trusted advisor.
Answer: Yes, it can and is worth it, if you like managing your own HealthCare. It may cost more, but it gives you more options too.
Answer: Good question, Yes, it is more expensive over time. Again, seek an advisor that can help keep down your overall costs with co-pays, deductibles, and monthly premiums, if allowed in your area.
Answer: There are several online programs that help support seniors with medication alerts, reminders, etc.
Answer: You May be penalized if you do not have other creditable coverage at the time you were to enroll. If you or your spouse are still working, you are able to defer Part B when you turn 65.
Answer: Yes, you may enroll, however; your premiums may be different than others enrolled in Medicare. You also must be a US citizen.
Answer: Your provider needs to submit for the equipment and get it covered by way of being medically necessary. Most times it is more than just writing an order for the device, it requires further documentation.
Answer: That is depending on the person, but most defer or delay signing up for Part B as their other coverage is just as good. Just be careful, as the employee coverage has deductibles, Medicare does not pay for.
Answer: Long-Term Care or extended rehab care in or out of facilities. There is no coverage for custodial or ADL care.
