Q&A with Donald Farrell

Why do people still get large medical bills even with Medicare?

Answer: Even with Original Medicare (Part A, Part B, and Part D), people can still face large out-of-pocket costs because Medicare does not cover everything. Costs can include deductibles, copays, and coinsurance, and some services may not be covered at all. One way people reduce these costs is by adding a Medigap supplement to Original Medicare, or by enrolling in a Medicare Advantage plan, which is Part C and often includes an annual limit on out-of-pocket spending. When choosing the correct plan, it is important to sit down with a local agent to ensure you are put on a plan for your specific needs. It will ensure your doctors are in network, prescription drugs are covered, and minimize those large medical bills as much as possible.

What are the reasons why I should work with a Medicare agent?

Answer: The short answer is, a Medicare agent acts as your advocate, helping you make confident, informed decisions about your healthcare coverage.

However, Medicare is not a one shoe fits all, and is different for each individual. Working with a Medicare agent helps take the confusion out of choosing the right coverage. Medicare has many parts and plan options, and it can be difficult to know which one truly fits your needs.

An agent can explain your choices in simple terms, compare plans based on your doctors, prescriptions, and budget, and help you avoid costly mistakes. They also stay up to date on plan changes and can review your coverage each year to make sure it continues to meet your needs.

Best of all, their help comes at no additional cost to you, making it a valuable resource as you navigate your Medicare options.

Respectfully,

Donald Farrell
