Q&A with Wendy Villarreal
I'm at high risk for heart disease based on my family history. What additional preventive services might Medicare cover for someone with my risk factors?
Answer: Yes—Medicare covers extra preventive services if your doctor recommends them based on your personal or family risk factors for heart disease.
Part A Inpatient Hospital deductible $1,676 but if I have Part C Advantage Plan, the hospital $350 copay per day 1-7 so how does this work?
Answer: If you have a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan, you don’t use the Part A deductible anymore. Instead, you follow your plan’s hospital costs—so you’d pay the $350 per day for days 1–7, and the plan covers the rest based on its rules.
I've been on my employer's health plan but am retiring soon. What should I consider when moving to Medicare?
Answer: When you retire and leave your employer’s health plan, it’s important to enroll in Medicare Part A and B so you don’t have any gaps or penalties. You’ll also want to compare Medicare Advantage and Supplement options to see which gives you the best coverage and prescription benefits.
Can you just have A and B and not enroll in anything else and still have good coverage?
Answer: Yes — you can have only Medicare Part A and B, but whether it’s good coverage depends on your medical needs.
A & B cover hospital and medical care, but do not cover prescriptions, dental/vision/hearing, or cap your out-of-pocket costs.
If you take medications or have ongoing health issues, most people add extra coverage to avoid high expenses. If your health needs are minimal, A & B alone may feel sufficient.
