Q&A with Ken Banks
What are the reasons why I should work with a Medicare agent?
Answer: To make sure you're getting every benefit that you may qualify for. Also to make a sound decision with your health needs.
Are Medicare Advantage plans really "free," or is that just clever marketing?
Answer: Majority of the plans are no cost to you. Some plans may have a premium but many will not. Always make sure that question is answered before you enroll in a plan.
I'm on Medicare Part B, and I'm wondering how my physical therapy visits are covered. Do I have to hit my deductible first?
Answer: Yes, you do need to meet your Part B deductible before Medicare begins covering your physical therapy costs. Once your deductible is met, Medicare will typically cover 80% of the approved cost for outpatient physical therapy, and you will be responsible for the remaining 20%. The Part B deductible for 2025 is $257. Medicare will only cover physical therapy that is deemed medically necessary.
I'm homebound and need remote monitoring for my heart condition. What Medicare benefits might apply to someone in my situation?
Answer: IF the device is medically necessary, then Medicare will cover it. Otherwise, you will have to pay for a home heart monitor out-of-pocket.
