Q&A with Parris Brady

Who will make medical decisions as to what is necessary to me: my Doctor or the insurance company?

Answer: When it comes to “medical decisions,” you should always follow your doctor’s advice. Insurance Companies are experts in insurance not medical. Doctors are the experts when it comes to medical advice.

I'm retiring next year - do I need to do anything with my Medicare?

Answer: If you currently have Medical and/or Drug coverage via your Employer, and you have the option to continue with the insurance after retirement, then you should compare the coverages and cost to Part B and D of Medicare. If you decide to end your employer’s insurance, you will have 63 days to enroll in Medicare (Part B and D). This is assuming that you are already enrolled in Part A of Medicare.
