Q&A with Marlene Dunlap-Martino
I don’t pay the $202 Medicare premium because of my SSDI income. Will I have to pay it when I turn 65?
Answer: Your state-funded MSP or Medicaid assistance will remain active as long as you still meet the program's income and asset limits. Age 65 does not disqualify you.
What are the pros and cons of a Medicare Medical Savings Account?
Answer: The major pros of a Medicare Medical Savings Account are the tax-free cash deposit from Medicare, year-to-year rollover of unused funds, and freedom to see any doctor. However, the cons include a significant out-of-pocket spending gap before 100% coverage kicks in, plus the requirement to purchase a separate prescription drug plan.
What is a Medicare Medical Savings Account (MSA) plan?
Answer: A Medicare Medical Savings Account (MSA) is a high-deductible Medicare Advantage plan paired with a special savings account that Medicare funds with an annual tax-free deposit. You use that money to pay for medical care until you meet your deductible, after which the plan covers 100% of your Medicare-approved costs, while any unspent cash rolls over to the next year.
What are the reasons why I should work with a Medicare agent?
Answer: Working with me as your Medicare agent simplifies the entire process and costs you absolutely nothing out of pocket. I stay by your side year after year to help with billing questions, network changes, or annual plan reviews.
