Q&A with Michael Ferraro
I'm on Medicare but recently declared bankruptcy due to medical bills. How will this affect my coverage and options going forward?
Answer: Bankruptcy does not affect your Medicare status. However not paying your premiums on your med-sup or Medicare Advantage plan will. If you declare bankruptcy, continue to pay your premiums and you will be in good shape.
What's your go-to strategy for helping someone decide between Medicare Advantage and Medigap?
Answer: First I make sure they unerstand how Medicare works.
Next I check to see if they can afford a Medicare Supplement.
Then we go over overall health. Many Dr visits? Often at a specialist?
I then do a side by side comparison of a med sup and Medicare Advantage plan and explain this is just a general example so you can see how it works.
We then talk about their risk profile and I make a formal recomendation.
Once they choose we put together a list of Dr's and Medications (Even if they are going with Medigap) and compare plans
By the end of this process it's usually pretty clear to the client what they should do.
