I needed dental work done & the dentist staff put me on a plan. And as I was there on a 3rd visit, the lady from the receptionist area came in where I was in tbe exam chair & asked me to book my deep cleaning. I asked her if my plan covered it.
She said no that it'd be $300. So I told her I'd wait. When I got home,
I called my idental insurance & asked what the insurance covered for a deep cleaning. She told me there was no charge, that Im allowed 2 per year at no cost to me. I made sure she knew it was for a deep cleaning, not a regular one.
So be sure to follow up w your insurance on your own...just to be sure they arent collecting xtra.
Ask questions.

It's not just Medicare Advantage Plans ! It's are Health System in the USA - Supplement Plans are GREAT - Yet, Seniors are being Priced out ! Premiums keep rising as you age Thousands of Seniors can no longer afford them !!!

[Annette-bv]

I am retired now. But back in the day, I sold Medicare Supplement policies. You explained this better than I have ever heard. Thank you for being honest about Medicare Advantage coverage.

[GaeaU]

Almost all insurance is putting the squeeze on its users, It is pure greed!

[juanitawoods]

They have sucked the life out of health care. It’s sickening what they’ve done and what they’re doing.

[reginacarrithers]

IT'S CALLED MEDICARE FRAUD. WHY aren't these Insurance companies doing this BEING JELD ACCOUNTABLE and sending some people to PRISON? If Drs go to prison for it, so should these insurance companies....PERIOD.

[angelashort]

I work in rehab in skilled nursing facilities and we refer to advantage plans as “advantage plans” meaning they completely take advantage of our elderly. They are sold the cheaper policy and bombarded with TV adds for them, then if they end up in rehab for a broken hip or any other medical issue some stranger behind a desk decides when they have to go home. Therapists have our hands tied and can only ask for more days which mostly are denied. We love a traditional Medicare patient as we as therapist can decide when they are safe to return home and have at least 100 days to work with typically, not 14-21 days.

[lindawest]

Feels like the government is trying to kill off many seniors that are on extremely low fixed incomes 😢

[butterflygirl]

IMO - Congress needs to be putting a stop to the lies about Medicare Advantage Plans. Also, that is a huge conflict of interest to offer more money to insurance agents/brokers who push Medicare Advantage.

[juliebutler]

How many are too poor to afford Medicare A and B, let alone a Supplement? I am one. And totally healthy!

[hjumper]

Corruption abounds in the insurance of Medicare advantage plans while screaming poor mouth!
Thank you for this reveal. This confirms my suspicions when I first signed up with a Medicare advantage plan.

[jazziez]

i get a 10 minute visit from my quack and the only thing he does is try and book me for bone test, heart test, mammogram, and push the lousey bp meds on me that make me sick so i refuse them after trying them for a few months here and there. He charges $190 for 10 minutes and doesn't even look at me or take my temp or pulse or listen to my heart and doesnt check my ears, nose or throat, nothing for $190

[ShirleyDurling]

Thank you, you will be helping a lot of people knowing they can go back on Medicare from the Advantage plan. The people who sell Advantage plans blow up the cell phones so bad.

[kallasusort]

I am so glad to see you back EARLY on YouTube. Thank you Christopher and team!

[susanflaherty]

UHC AARP plan I’m on has discontinued dental benefits and halved vision benefits. These perks are what sold the Advantage plans. This is not the government. This is the result of lobbying by the insurance industry that resulted in corporate profits determining our care.

[stevenlarkin]

Those that are complaining about the government here are clueless. It is the insurance companies that are responsible for this.

[joandaniels]

Chris, my name is Joanne Daniels. I met you at a Mutual of Omaha meeting in South Carolina. I work with Steve Reichhardt and have for years out of Claremore Oklahoma. I appreciate your videos and I am sending them even to my clients. I hope they will call me with their questions, instead of reaching out and other directions. I’ve tried to inform them for years exactly what you’re saying so I appreciate your videos.

[annpaprocki]

What has happened to all the dental benefits and gym memberships in the advantage plans?

[grisJesus]

It sounds like the federal government can do a better job of managing healthcare. end Medicare supplemental insurance. Medicare should pay 100%. We paid or it all our working lives. Why are we paying again when we are least able to pay it?

[Savannah-edrv]

Isn't a typical of most professions today that so many people don't really know what they're selling or why they're selling it. They don't know all sides of the story about any particular products. It's mind-boggling to me that an insurance agent would not know the difference between Medicare Advantage and a Medicare supplement. Their license should require them to take a test to prove they understand the differences
