Q&A with Steven Rodriguez Giudicelli

What do you like most about being a Medicare agent?

Answer: The most rewarding part for me is definitely helping people navigate the complexities of Medicare and find a plan that truly meets their needs. It's a great feeling knowing I've made a confusing process much easier for someone and helped them secure important healthcare coverage.

Are Medicare Advantage plans really "free," or is that just clever marketing?

Answer: While some Medicare Advantage plans have a $0 monthly premium, they are not truly "free." You will still be responsible for other healthcare costs, including your Part B premium, deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. It's crucial to look beyond the premium and carefully consider the plan's overall costs, benefits, network, and rules before making a decision.

I've been on a Part D plan for a while, and I'm wondering why my generic prescriptions suddenly cost more. Did something change?

Answer: There's a few things to consider: Generic drug costs might be higher because:

* Your plan changed its preferred drug list.

* Different pharmacies charge different amounts.

* The price of the generic drug itself went up.

* You've moved to a different phase of your plan's coverage.

* Insurance rules are shifting slightly.

What to do:

* Check your plan's drug list.

* Call your insurance company.

* Compare pharmacy prices.

* Ask your doctor about other options.

I'm on Medicare Part B, and I'm wondering how my physical therapy visits are covered. Do I have to hit my deductible first?

Answer: Yes, you do have to meet your Part B deductible first. For 2025, the Part B deductible is $257.

Once you've paid that $257 for the year, Medicare Part B will generally cover 80% of the Medicare-approved amount for your physical therapy visits. You'll be responsible for paying the other 20%, which is called coinsurance.

So, in short: Deductible first, then Medicare pays most of it.
