Q&A with Jeff LeSourd
What do you like most about being a Medicare agent?
Answer: As a senior I love sharing about the benefits of Medicare to other seniors. I especially love discussing how the $257 annual deductible compares to the typical High Deductible Health Plans I contributed to for over 25 years!!
Are Medicare Advantage plans really "free," or is that just clever marketing?
Answer: Everyone on Medicare Part B must pay the Part B premium to CMS which currently is $185/month.
There may be a no cost monthly premium for most Medicare Advantage plans. However, there are other costs that may apply like copays, coinsurance and Maximum Out of Pocket costs for medical services. Medicare Advantage plans have pros and cons as does Original Medicare with Medigap Supplement plans.
The best suggestion is to talk to a Medicare professional who can fully educate you on the true costs and benefits of MA plans vs. Medigap Supplemental plans. This is a critical decision and seniors need to be completely educated on Medicare to avoid expensive mistakes down the road.
How can I estimate my total Medicare costs if I have a chronic condition like diabetes?
Answer: Once you accept Medicare Part B, the monthly cost of that benefit in 2025 is $185/month. Currently insulin only costs $35/month which is a huge cost savings. There may be other Rx drug costs that can be analyzed and estimated by a Medicare professional. They can help get the least expensive Rx drug plans for your specific Rx costs.
You can also go to medicare.gov and do an analysis of Part D Rx drug plans and get a rough estimate for your zip code.
So I heard something about Medicare drug costs being capped at $2,000 in 2025. Is that really happening or just talk?
Answer: Yes that is actually implemented for 2025 for Rx drugs that meet the requirements. The Rx drugs MUST be on the Part D plans formulary for the $2,000 cap to apply. Once you reach the $2,000 level for approved Rx drugs, you will not have to pay anything more for future approved drugs in the same calendar year.
