Is Your Medicare Starting Soon?  For most people turning 65, Medicare Part A (Hospital) starts automatically.  Medicare Part B (outpatient), on the other hand may not start automatically when turning 65.  If you are not going to start your S.S. income at age 65, or if you are on an employer health insurance plan, you will most likely need to enroll in Part B.

To confirm your “B” coverage starts when you want it to, go to the Social Security Admin website, https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/medicare/, create a profile and enroll in Part B.  Or, call S.S.A at; 800-772-1213, or, walk into a local Social Security office and tell them you want to start your Medicare Part B.

Once you have confirmation your Medicare A and B have a start date, enrolling in any of the Medicare plans (Medicare Supplement, Medicare Advantage or Part D Rx plan) is simple and quick.  Call me anytime, I’ll be happy to walk you through the process.

4 Reasons to purchase a Medicare Supplement?

1. FREEDOM OF CHOICE. You can see any doctor or hospital in the U.S. who accepts Medicare (no networks to fuss with).  If a person wants access to different doctors, specialists and hospitals, a Medicare Supplement provides that flexibility.
2. COVERAGE. Most Medicare Supplement’s provide very comprehensive coverage. Plan F is 100%, Plan G is 100% after a small $240 deductible and Plan N has the same deductible and $20 copay.
3. VERY LITTLE CHANGE from year to year.  Medicare Supplement coverage and benefits rarely change from year to year.  Where Medicare Advantage plans tend to change benefits, deductibles, Rx coverage and doctor and hospital networks every year.
4. ENROLL OR CANCEL YEAR-AROUND.  If you wish to cancel or switch companies, you can simply cancel and go back to original medicare, or apply to a new company, it’s that simple.

With any Medicare Supplement plan you are able to receive services from any doctor or hospital in the U.S. who accepts Medicare.  That’s nearly 95% of all providers nationwide.  Freedom of choice and comprehensive plan benefits, there’s nothing better than a Medicare Supplement.  Call today for help with enrolling in your new plan.

California Birthday Rule:

If you currently have a medicare supplement policy in place, the Rule allows you to switch to a new medicare supplement company without a medical review. In other words the change is guaranteed regardless of health status. The rule allows you to submit a new enrollment form from your birthday and moving forward 60 days.  You can move to the same plan or one with less benefits.  If you wish to move to a more comprehensive plan, there is a company which allows this, call me for details.

Open-Enrollment Dates:

OPEN-ENROLLMENT – Do you Qualify for a Medicare Supplement… Medicare Supplement policies do not have an annual open-enrollment period like Medicare Advantage policies.  In order to be offered a policy on a guaranteed issue basis, one must enroll within 6 month of starting Medicare Part B, or within 2 months of exiting an employer health insurance policy.
During this ‘open enrollment’ period Anthem Blue Cross or any other company must enroll you into the Medicare Supplement plan of your choice. You can use your Open Enrollment privileges more than once during the 6 months after starting your Medicare Part B coverage. For example, you may change your mind about your initial company or policy you enrolled in, cancel it, and enroll in a new Medicare plan from the same or different company.

Your right to Open Enrollment is absolute …  The 6-month window starts the first day of the month when your Medicare Part B coverage goes into effect. Also, if you have stayed on an “Employer Health Insurance Plan” long after the 6-month window expires. You can still take advantage of “Guaranteed-Issue” rights when leaving a Group Health Insurance plan.

Medicare Part B “Excess Charges”

Medicare “Excess Charges” … These are extra charges a doctor can apply if the doctor does not accept the Medicare “fee schedule.”  The doctors are still considered Medicare doctors, although under a different contract.  Some Medicare Supplement plans pay excess charges, and some don’t.  Plan N does not.

Under Age 65 on Medicare:

Under Age 65 Medicare Supplement … For the Medicare Member who is on disability and under age 65. Some states make the insurance companies provide Medicare Supplement policies to those who wish to enroll as long as the enrollment is during a guarantee-issue time frame.  Some states to not provide under age medicare supplement policies so the only available options are to stay on original Medicare or enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan.

Silver Sneakers Fitness Program “Included”

Anthem includes Silver Sneakers fitness program with all of their Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage plans.  Silver Sneakers is the premier fitness program provided at no cost with all Anthem Medicare Supplement policies.  Millions of members, thousands of gyms.  Classes designed for all abilities.

Cancel Anytime:

Why Anthem?

1. Stable premiums. In most cases, Anthem members will pay less over a 3 to 5 year period compared to other companies.
2. Access to any physician or hospital who is Medicare-Approved in the US. (No referrals necessary).
3. No out of pocket costs when you see a doctor or hospital with Innovative Plan F.
4. Policy cannot be canceled from underneath you regardless of claims history.
5. No claim forms.
6. Some companies will have two rates; a “new member rate” and also a “current member rate.”  They will advertise the lower “new customer ” rate, while their existing members are paying the higher “current customer rate.”  Anthem doesn’t play these games, they have only “1” rate sheet which I provide for your viewing.
