Q&A with Hope Foutz
What's one piece of advice you wish every senior knew before picking a Medicare plan?
Answer: That an agent can help them navigate the process and help them pick a plan that meets their needs. For most individuals, there are several of options and no need to worry if they are working with someone knowledgeable.
How much do agents charge to help clients to enroll
Answer: Hi, thanks for the question. Agents do not charge the beneficiary anything to compare plans or enroll. Would be happy to help.
What is the biggest mistake seniors make when enrolling in Medicare?
Answer: One of the most common mistakes seniors make is not fully understanding their options before enrolling.
Working with a licensed agent can help avoid these pitfalls by ensuring you understand all your options and choose a plan that truly fits your healthcare and financial needs.
I am a resident in another country outside of America, will I still be covered living abroad?
Answer: Coverage options vary depending on the type of plan you have. Most U.S.-based health insurance plans, including Medicare, do not provide full coverage for care received outside the United States. However, some plans may offer limited international benefits or travel coverage.
It’s important to speak with a licensed agent who can review your specific situation and help you understand what, if any, coverage you would have while living abroad and explore supplemental options if needed.

What are the reasons why I should work with a Medicare agent?
Answer: As a licensed broker, I often meet individuals who are unsure about the plans available to them, why they’re currently on a particular plan, or what coverage would best meet their needs. Working with an agent gives you a trusted partner in navigating your healthcare options, not only to help you choose a plan that truly fits your needs, but also to be there for support whenever questions arise.
