Q&A with George Kolitsas

What is the biggest mistake seniors make when enrolling in Medicare?

Answer: Becoming a Medicare professional over night and taking on the complex system of Medicare on there own. Also, waiting until the last minute to sign up. Please start planning ahead of time and use a local broker to guide you in the right direction.

Can you describe a time when you helped a client navigate a complex Medicare issue?

Answer: Every single day. From saving money on prescription cost, or reviewing there benefits, or helping them qualify for state specific programs that they were not aware of.

Does Medicare cover eye exams, or are seniors left paying too much?

Answer: Original Medicare does not cover eye exams. However, if you replace Original Medicare and choose a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C), a lot of these plans can cover eye exams and possibly more.

Is Original Medicare or Medicare Advantage better? Why do you recommend one over the other?

Answer: Everyone I sit with is different. There are pro's and con's to both choices. I always say, I can not predict the future but I can educate you on the differences.

What is the biggest disadvantage of Medicare Advantage?

Answer: Medicare Advantage plans are network driven There are PPO's and HMO's, most of the time I am recommending a PPO plan to give you a little more freedom and flexibility. Also, prior authorizations and referrals can be common.

Can Medicare Part D deny coverage for a brand-name drug if a generic isn’t available?

Answer: You want to make sure all of your prescriptions are listed on the specific plans prescription formulary from the start.

Do Medicare Advantage plans really save seniors money in the long run? Why or why not?

Answer: This is a trick question. As brokers, we can not predict the future. If you have a healthy year and used your extra benefits built into your advantage plan, then yes, you could save money. However, if you have a bad year of health issues, then you could possibly be paying more out of pocket. At the end of the day, you do have a Maximum-Out-Of-Pocket that will put a cap on your out of pocket cost for the calendar year.

What happens if I am already retired and collecting Social Security when I turn 65?

Answer: In this situation, Social Security will automatically mail your Medicare card in the mail. Usually 3 months prior to the month you turn 65. This is because you are already collecting Social Security income.
