Q&A with Wes Drew
What do you like most about being a Medicare agent?
Answer: I enjoy helping people understand how Medicare works and their different options for coverage. There's a lot of confusion in the Medicare space and bringing clarity to a complex topic helps connect me to my clients.
What's the most frustrating misconception you have to clear up with clients about Medicare every year?
Answer: The most frustrating misconception is explaining that Medicare Supplements and Medicare Advantage plans are entirely different ways of looking at coverage. It isn't that one is better than the other, both plans are intended to serve the needs of beneficiaries while approaching those needs from different perspectives. There isn't a one-sized fits all plan for all Medicare beneficiaries and understanding your needs and expectations will help you determine which plan type is the right fit for you.
How can I estimate my total Medicare costs if I have a chronic condition like diabetes?
Answer: It's important to consider the cost of your medical care and prescriptions drugs, while also considering the cost of your plan premium (if any) and how those costs may change over time. Since some plans are designed with anticipated rate increases as you age, looking at your total cost and not just the premium cost of the plan you choose will help determine which plan you want now and may help you plan for a change to that plan in the future.
