Q&A with Heidi Broberg
What do you like most about being a Medicare agent?
Answer: Honestly, the most rewarding thing is simply helping people get the Medicare coverage that truly works for them. Knowing I've made a positive impact on their healthcare journey is what it's all about. And I love people, so meeting new people is the best, I have made lifelong client/friends.
Are Medicare Advantage plans really "free," or is that just clever marketing?
Answer: While you might find plans with a $0 monthly premium, this comes with important context and conditions:
You still need to be enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B: These are not free. You've paid into Part A through payroll taxes during your working years, and you continue to pay the standard Part B premium (or potentially more depending on your income).
The $0 premium often applies to specific types of plans, like HMOs: These plans typically require you to stay within a network of doctors and hospitals to receive coverage. Going out-of-network may result in higher costs or no coverage at all.
It's more accurate to say that these plans can offer a way to receive your Medicare benefits through a private insurance company, often with extra benefits, after you've already met the requirements of Medicare (and continue to pay your Part B premium).
I've heard Medicare covers home health care, but what exactly does that include?
Answer: 1. It generally includes skilled nursing care, like administering medications or wound care, and home health aide services for help with personal care like bathing and dressing.
2 Medicare also covers physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology to help you regain or maintain your abilities.
Keep in mind that to qualify, a doctor must certify that you need these services..
