Q&A with Muriel Evans
Does Medicare cover the cost of blood thinners?
Answer: Yes — Medicare does cover blood thinners, but how they’re paid for depends on the type of medication and the part of Medicare you’re enrolled in.
Do Medicare Advantage plans really save seniors money in the long run? Why or why not?
Answer: Short Answer: Medicare Advantage plans can save seniors money in the long run, but whether they do depends heavily on individual health needs, provider preferences, and how often care is used. They often have lower premiums and extra benefits, but may lead to higher out‑of‑pocket costs if extensive or specialized care is need
What's the biggest mistake seniors make when choosing a Medicare Part D plan?
Answer: Great question!
The biggest mistake seniors make when choosing a Medicare Part D plan is focusing only on the monthly premium without checking whether their medication are covered or how much they'll actually pay out-of-pocket. Why this is a costly mistake?
Many seniors are drawn to the lowest premium plans, assuming they'll save money. But:
Look out for limited drug coverage with low premiums, pharmacy networks, and hidden costs.
All the best -Muriel
Can I change my Supplemental/Medigap plan at any time?
Answer: Hi there!
Medigap plans don't allow the same annual enrollment periods unlike Medicare Advantage or Part D plans. You can apply to switch at any time during the year.
During Medigap Open Enrollment Period (OEP). This is a 6-month window that starts when you're 65 or older and enrolled in Medicare Part B. During this time, you have guaranteed issue rights, meaning insurers can't deny coverage or charge more due to health conditions.
Hope this helps! -Muriel
Should I worry about Medicare cuts?
Answer: Yes, seniors should be paying close attention to proposed Medicare cuts. While current benefits remain intact, recent legislation signals significant changes that could impact access, affordability, and provider participation in the near future. Please visit medicare.gov to get the latest updates on Medicare changes.
What is one of the the most common misconceptions people have about Medicare?
Answer: People think that Medicare doesn't cover everything. They are not sure what Parts A and B include. People often assume that drug coverage is automatic and must enroll in a separate Part D plan or choose Medicare Advantage.
People get confused with Medicaid and Medicare. People don't realize that there are out-of-pocket costs for Part B premiums, deductibles, copays, and coinsurance.
Lastly, people don't know that Long-term care is NOT covered. Medicare only covers short-term skilled nursing care under specific conditions-not ongoing custodial care in a nursing home.

I'm considering genetic testing to assess my cancer risk based on family history. Will Medicare cover this preventive approach in my situation?
Answer: Great question, and I’m glad you’re being proactive about your health. Medicare may cover genetic testing for cancer risk, but there are specific conditions that must be met.
Talk to your doctor about your family history and whether genetic testing is medically necessary. Make sure the test is ordered by your healthcare provider-not through a heal fair or unsolicited offer.
Call 1-800-MEDICARE or visit Medicare.gov to check if your specific test is covered.
Hope this helps.
