Q&A with Judi Field

What is the biggest mistake seniors make when enrolling in Medicare?

Answer: The mistake many Medicare beneficiaries make regarding enrolling into Medicare is to begin Medicare Part B too early. Many people do not realize that they do not need Medicare Part B to begin if receiving health insurance through a large employer. A large employer is classified as 20 or more employees (100+ employees if qualifying for Medicare due to disability). If one likes one's insurance through the employer, the plan is affordable and coverage out-of-pocket affordable, then deferring Part B is penalty-free. When the time comes to retire, reduce work hours or lose one's insurance from the employer, then one can enroll into Part B and the coordinating insurance plans. All one's guaranteed rights to choose a Medicare supplement, Advantage Plan and/or Part D plan remain intact.

What is one of the the most common misconceptions people have about Medicare?

Answer: Lesser insurance - that is the most common misconception about Medicare insurance. The truth is anything but lesser insurance. Medicare is comprehensive health insurance with a national network of participating providers and hospital systems.
