Q&A with Joan E Kealy
I signed up for a Medicare Advantage HMO, and I'm wondering if I can see a cardiologist out of network without paying everything myself.
Answer: If you see a cardiologist who is not in your HMO’s network, your plan usually will not pay anything for that visit, however, Some HMOPOS (Point-of-Service) plans may allow limited out-of-network services with higher cost-sharing; so it depends on the exact plan.
What benefits are there to working with a Medicare Agent near me vs remote/virtual?
Answer: Some people are hands on and face to face people. If this is you, then it would benefit you having an Agent that you can meet in person.
What is the biggest disadvantage of Medicare Advantage?
Answer: In my experience, the annual changes each year can be a disadvantage to Medicare Advantage. There are changes every year in out of pocket expenses, network, coverage, and formularies, to name a few.
What's one hidden Medicare expense that people don't think about until it's too late?
Answer: The most significant hidden Medicare expense that gets overlooked is the lack of coverage for routine dental, vision, and hearing care.
