Q&A with Holly Baker
What's the most important question I should be asking about Medicare that I probably haven't thought of yet?
Answer: How often do I need to change my Medicare plan and are there certain limitations as to when i can change?
Does IRMAA go away automatically if my income drops, or do I need to report it to Social Security?
Answer: No, IRMAA does not go away automatically if your income drops; you need to report the change to Social Security to have it adjusted. If you experience a significant income reduction, you can file an appeal to request a lower IRMAA based on your current financial situation.
Do you have to renew your Medicare Supplement plan every year?
Answer: No, you do not have to renew your Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan every year. Your policy is guaranteed renewable, meaning it automatically rolls over annually as long as you pay your premiums on time. The insurance company cannot cancel your coverage due to health issues or age. Keep the following in mind: Premium changes: While the plan continues, your premium may increase over time. Medicare supplement plans must offer the same coverage, regardless of the company that offers them. It is possible to change plans/companies to lower your rate. Changing plans: Unlike Medicare Advantage or Part D plans, you cannot simply swap Medigap plans during the fall Annual Enrollment Period (AEP). If you want to switch to a different Medigap policy, you generally have to pass medical underwriting, unless you qualify for a specific Guaranteed Issue Right.
Does Medicare ever call you at home, or is every call a scam?
Answer: Medicare will never make an unsolicited call to your home. If someone calls claiming to be from Medicare and asks for personal information (like your Social Security number or Medicare card number), it is a scam. The Exceptions- Medicare representatives will only call you if: You left a message or specifically requested that a Medicare agent call you back, or they are following up on a previously filed fraud report or appeal.
How does getting married late in life affect my Medicare coverage or costs?
Answer: Getting married late in life does not change your Medicare eligibility or coverage. Medicare remains an individual plan—there are no joint policies. However, combining your household income could increase your Part B and Part D premiums due to IRMAA (Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount).
Can I keep seeing my current doctors if I switch to a Medicare Advantage plan, or do I have to find new ones?
Answer: As an agent, we look for a plan network that is accepted by your current doctors. Some clients are OK with switching doctors if a particular plan gives them access to attractive features and benefits.
What are the reasons why I should work with a Medicare agent?
Answer: .
There is no one size fits all when it comes to Medicare. A conscientious agent spends the time to get to know you and your particular needs. As an independent agent, we have access to many carriers and plans and can recommend the best options for you.
