Q&A with James Branson
What is the biggest mistake seniors make when enrolling in Medicare?
Answer: The biggest mistake seniors make enrolling in Medicare is basing their decisions on what their neighbor has or what their friend has and likes. Individuals have very different resources, needs and health conditions. Speak with an agent who can explain the different Medicare pathways available so the individual can make the decision that's best for them.
What do you like most about being a Medicare agent?
Answer: Helping seniors and caregivers find comfort in their health coverage.
Why might Original Medicare with a Part D plan be better than a Medicare Advantage plan for frequent travelers?
Answer: Many Medicare Advantage plans come at an additional cost to the consumer, and many do not "travel" outside of a specified coverage area. No need for a frequent traveler to buy something that they cannot use. The other side of this coin is that there are many MA plans that DO travel... worldwide and have $ZERO$ cost!
