Q&A with Kathy Adams

Why is regular Medicare better than an advantage plan?

Answer: Your original Medicare Parts A & B does NOT include ancillary benefits, some examples would be dental, vision, free gym membership, hearing aids plus much more. There are plans available at no cost.

Isn't it concerning that Medicare Advantage plans are taking over the system?

Answer: If you move, not knowing if you have a Medicare Advantage Plan or Medigap Plan, coverage could have differences to the State and county where you live.

My friend gets SilverSneakers with her plan and I don't-how are we both paying for Medicare and getting such different stuff?

Answer: Original Medicare doesn't offer additional benefits like "silver sneakers" dental, vision, etc. This comes with Medicare Advantage Plans.

I'm at high risk for heart disease based on my family history. What additional preventive services might Medicare cover for someone with my risk factors?

Answer: Based on family history of heart disease, you may consider a Medicare Supplemental Plan, to go along with your original Medicare, this would give you the best coverage if you encountered major issues so your medical expenses would have the best coverage available to you.

I've heard about IRMAA affecting my Medicare premiums. How can I find out if it applies to me, and how does it work?

Answer: IRMAA brackets for Medicare Parts B & D premiums are based on your 2023 Modified Adjusted Gross Income. These brackets determine how much premium surcharges will be.

How can I get dental and vision coverage with Medicare?

Answer: A Medicare Advantage Plan gives you this additional coverage, plus more ancillary benefits with some plans at $0 cost per month

I just moved to a new state. Do I need to do anything with my Medicare coverage?

Answer: Yes, you will need to contact the local office in your new State as they need to know you moved. I'd you have a Medicare Advantage Plan or Medicare Supplemental plan, you will need to let the carrier know you moved as well.
