Q&A with Guillermo Gonzalez
What do you like most about being a Medicare agent?
Answer: Medicare is a complicated system that requires training and knowledge of to help serve people. I really enjoy bringing clarity and peace of mind. Everyone is someone's parent, grandparent or loved one which is why I work hard to build great relationships to earn trust. The more I get involved with Medicare the more I see I can make a difference.
Does Medicare cover eye exams, or are seniors left paying too much?
Answer: Original Medicare does not cover routine eye exams for glasses or contacts. This means that seniors are left paying out of pocket for vision care. You can obtain vision coverage through a standalone vision plan or through a Medicare Advantage plan.
Can I show my Original Medicare Card instead of my Medicare Advantage card, if my provider doesn't take my advantage insurance?
Answer: No, once you are on an Advantage plan you have to use those network doctors unless you have a PPO plan which you would then be subject to the copay percentage of that plan.
I'm turning 65 next month; what are the first steps I should take regarding Medicare enrollment?
Answer: You should try to get ahead of it as soon as possible. This means that 3 months before you are turning 65 enroll into Medicare at SSA.gov website, go into the social security office or call. If you are working still and are going to continue to do so and have credible coverage from your employer you can delay enrollment.
Which Medicare Supplement plan (Medigap) offers the best value for most seniors, and why?
Answer: I would have to say plan G because it has 100% on the services covered by Medicare except for a deductible of $257 that is from Part B. This gives you predictable costs once the deductible is met.
How do you educate clients who are completely new to Medicare?
Answer: Education is one the best benefits of being in this field. I like to setup a time preferably in person, to talk with someone about the different parts of Medicare and how it applies to them and the costs associated with it.
