Q&A with Nolan Popel
What do you enjoy most about working with Medicare clients?
Answer: What I enjoy most about helping Medicare clients is to understand exactly how Medicare works and the different insurance options available to them. As an independent agent that represents many different companies and plans it gives me the opportunity to help people to find the plan that will suit their needs.
What is one of the the most common misconceptions people have about Medicare?
Answer: I think one of the most common misconceptions people have about Medicare is that it pays for everything. When in fact for example part D prescription drug coverage must be purchased through an insurance company.
How can I get dental and vision coverage with Medicare?
Answer: Medicare does not cover dental and vision however you can get those options with some of the Medicare Advantage plans that are available.
Will I be penalized if I do not enroll in Medicare when I turn 65?
Answer: Yes, you could face penalties if you don’t enroll in Medicare Part B when you turn 65 unless you have other qualifying health coverage like through an employer, group or union.
I thought I was covered during my snowbird months in Florida, but apparently not. What kind of plan do I actually need for that?
Answer: The first option I would consider would be a Medicare Supplement plan . With those plans they are secondary coverage and you can go to any doctor or hospital in the United States that accepts Medicare. If this kind of coverage is not affordable there are nationwide PPO plans that let you go to different doctors in different states.
What's the key difference in how Medicare Advantage and Medigap handle out-of-network providers?
Answer: Medicare supplement plans don’t have doctor networks. Someone with a Medicare supplement plan would have original Medicare as their primary. When that person chose a Medicare advantage plan as long as it is a PPO then they would be able to go out of network as long as the doctor did accept Medicare.
What's the deal with Medicare covering medical equipment like wheelchairs- do I need a special approval?
Answer: Durable medical equipment like wheelchairs are covered under Medicare Part B. The special approval you are referring to is called a prior authorization. In some cases prior authorization is required before Medicare will pay 80% for durable medical equipment.
I'm considering a smartwatch that monitors my heart rhythm for atrial fibrillation. Will Medicare help cover this type of wearable technology?
Answer: No Medicare does not cover the cost of smart watches or other wearable technology like fitness trackers.
I keep hearing about Medicare Part D changes for 2025. Will these actually lower what I pay for my prescriptions?
Answer: It depends on your situation. If someone takes a lot of expensive brand name drugs, Medicare has ended the donut hole or coverage gap. Starting in 2025 there is a 2000 maximum on prescription drug costs as long as the prescriptions are on the insurance plan’s formulary.
Am I eligible for a Special Enrollment Period if I lose employer coverage?
Answer: Yes absolutely you would qualify for a special election period that would occur two months before, the month of and 63 days after the employer coverage has ended.
