If you’re approaching or just reached retirement age, you probably have questions about supplemental Medicare coverage and Advantage plans. What you do at this critical point can be the difference between saving tens - or hundreds - of thousands of dollars on medical coverage, so it’s worth getting expert help as you make these decisions.
Returning to the podcast to discuss this complex issue is Tom Allen. We recorded two previous episodes about Medicare in Season One of The Guided Retirement Show, and we highly recommend that you listen to them before jumping into this one.
Today, Tom and I dive deep into the differences between supplemental Medicare coverage options, how to avoid potentially devastating expenses when dealing with prescription drug costs, and how to find a plan that will cover any conditions you may have and keep you healthy for decades to come.
- In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:
The difference between supplemental Medicare and Advantage plans. - Why Medicare Part A and B is rarely sufficient coverage for most people - and why you may confidentially qualify for Medicaid.
- Why Medicare Part D has not yet been standardized - and what to look out for in Part D plans.
- How illness can make it difficult to change Medicare Advantage providers - and how to avoid getting locked into a plan that doesn’t cover conditions you may develop in the future.
