Q&A with Michael Braun
What do you like most about being a Medicare agent?
Answer: The satisfaction of helping someone understand the benefits in the Medicare program. Just pure joy of helping someone through this transition to the next phase of benefits available to them.
Are Medicare Advantage plans really "free," or is that just clever marketing?
Answer: The plans that are $0 premium are subsidized by the Federal Government to the carrier. The carrier in exchange provides a benefit level equal to and better than what the regular Medicare program can provide. There are copays associated with the plans but they are either free or have a low cost to the public. They can be a significant help to low income seniors and seniors that need additional benefits. Every Medicare beneficiary has a unique risk profile so meeting with an agent to discuss will help you decide what is best for the beneficiary.
Why are people leaving Medicare Advantage plans?
Answer: In my experience when someone leaves a Medicare advantage plan, it could do to network issues or pricing of a product. Someone also might move out of the county they currently reside in so the plan is not available in that market or county. Consumers also might want to try something different or have a physical problem so a change is necessary.
