Q&A with Sandra Kerley
What's one piece of advice you wish every senior knew before picking a Medicare plan?
Answer: Make sure you speak with an agent that represents multiple carriers in your area. Every carrier has great options, but not every carrier can meet your specific wants and needs. Have a list ready to go with all your doctors, medicines, and medical wants and needs.
What is one of the the most common misconceptions people have about Medicare?
Answer: That a PPO is always better than an HMO, especially when traveling.any carriers have doctors that are in network for their HMO plans in other cities and states. PPO does not guarantee your carrier will pay for out of network doctors. The doctor has to agree to the terms and conditions of the plan.
What do you enjoy most about working with Medicare clients?
Answer: I enjoy learning about their different lifestyles, the different things and places they have seen throughout their lifetime. I enjoy finding out their needs and finding not just plans that help them but other options that are out there that they may not be aware of. I enjoy taking the time to get to know them individually.
If Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans are better for long-term coverage, why don’t more people choose them?
Answer: I feel like this answer can be best answered by why people choose them and why they don't.
Some reasons people choose Medicare Supplement:
They can afford the monthly premium - as they tend to be higher than the advantage plans and can afford the annual raise in cost.
There are no networks.
Prior authorizations are not required for services.
Referrals are not required for specialists.
Some reasons people choose Medicare Advantage over Medicare supplement:
Monthly premiums can be as low as $0.
They can include other coverages such as dental, vision, hearing and more.
Medicare Advantage Plans have a maximum out of pocket cost.
