Q&A with Mark Shipman
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: The plan you are considering has a search tool on their website to check that information to make sure they are in network for next year.
What are the different benefits of Medicare Advantage from Medicare? Is Medicare Advantage more beneficial for someone with several health issues? Do more doctors accept Medicare Advantage? Do you pay more out of pocket for Medicare Advantage-premiums and doctor’s bills. Should I talk with an insurance agent?
Answer: There are many questions to get answered here, and I suggest you speak with an agent.
Medicare Advantage, and Medicare supplements vary quite a bit, and should be reviewed to see what plan best fits your needs.
Will my Medicare plan work when traveling to Europe?
Answer: a medicare supplement plan has a foriegn travel rider available. This will cover expenses while traveling abroad.
How can I tell the difference between an experienced Medicare Broker and an inexperienced Medicare Broker?
Answer: an experienced agent will ask all the right questions to help you find the right plan for your needs. An inexperienced agent may just try to make a sale and take short cuts.
How well does Medicare support seniors who need assisted living, or does it fall short?
Answer: If assisted living is a concern, either a spend down for less wealthy folks to medicaid, or purchasing a long term care plan for the wealthier are the best options.
What are the reasons why I should work with a Medicare agent?
Answer: An agent is well versed in the plans and benefits available from local plans to fit your needs, and will help you locate a plan and make sure all your needs are being met.
My Medicare Advantage plan listed my doctor, but now they say he's out of network. How is that even allowed?
Answer: it's usually a matter of the doctor or clinic not accepting the terms and conditions of the plan.
There are many plans out there so maybe a meeting with an agent would help you find a new plan that is in network with your doctor and hospitals.
