She is licensed to sell insurance in her home state of Washington, but she also serves clients in Oregon, California, and Arizona.
Q&A with Marianna Kuhn
My mom is considering switching to a Medicare Advantage plan because her friends say it's better. She's scared of losing her current doctors. How can we check?
Answer: Networks vary from carrier to carrier. So it is up to the providers. You can call to ask about which Med Advantage plans they accept. Thank you for your question.
Can I enroll in Medicare if I've never paid into Social Security due to working overseas?
Answer: You must be a citizen or legal resident for five continuous years to be eligible for Medicare. You will have a premium for Part A at $565/month (free for those who earn enough work credits). Standard Part B Medicare is @$202/month. If you do not qualify for free Part A Medicare, you are required to enroll in Part B as well.
Hope this helps!

Why do some seniors end up paying lifelong penalties for Medicare Part B or Part D?
Answer: Because the government imposes late enrollment penalties if you don’t enroll in these plans when you first become eligible.
Will Medicare Advantage plans start offering more digital health tools like apps by 2030?
Answer: Many Medicare Advantage insurance companies already offer digital tools. As time goes on they will become more sophisticated.
What are the reasons why I should work with a Medicare agent?
Answer: A Medicare agent is helpful in understanding the wide variety of choices in this market. It is also very helpful to have a representative within these large insurance companies and networks to answer questions and help navigate the system once a choice is made. A good agent will be a great advocate, support, and resource through a member's health journey.
How do you educate clients who are completely new to Medicare?
Answer: I educate new folks about Medicare by listening to how much information they know and what their questions are. Medicare can be quite complex, so folks may need basic information or just specific targeted questions. I'm happy to meet, speak on the phone, or send detailed information, depending on the person's interest. It is a pleasure to educate folks, whether they choose me as an agent or not. Happy to always help.
