I have referred your website on FB and here on YouTube to MANY of my friends and have gotten nothing but good feed back from them. Thank you so much for taking the confusion out of so many Medicare issues! Less confusion, less stress!

[alexroland]

Thank you for explaining this! So many people don't know whether to pay upfront or wait.

[jessiecastillon]

Thank you for explaining this. I don't even know about this because we don't have this type of insurance in our country until I work as a customer service representative for healthcare insurance company. Been working for 3 years and this is the only time I understand how this works.

[MyMazyCat]

Thank you so much! It was very helpful as I was confused how to pay!

[jclark]

Your explanations are so clear. Thank you.

[AbdulazizAlAzmi-puns]

I am learning so much from watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing source of information. This one is quite helpful.

What about Wyoming? I have Aetna. As far as I could find, there is no medigap plans offered! So, I have A & B, plus D. I'm 100% disabled through SSD. Will be 62 in February.

[lint]

I have a medigap and part D. I expect to move to another state this year. Will my deductibles for all three reset to zero when I move or will they continue to add together to hit the yearly amounts?

I learned so much from this video! Thank you, Danielle!

What if your first visit of the year entails a preventative procedure that should be 100% covered such as a bone density test. Will the Medicare deductible still apply?

[villagi]

my father got a supplement and they told him he only had to pay his part B deductible, and then everything would be covered at 100% not 80% does this sound right? He has not used it yet, but our insurance provider told us that he after he covered his deductible that he would not pay anything for any visit after that for part outpatient visits.

[ginafisher]

so a medical supply company cannot charge me for the deductible on supplies until process through Medicare first? Asking cause medical supply company says I need to pay them the deductible to process my order to get sent out?? I didn't understand how and if other charges on deductible made already been process from other medical service's I have received already? Thanks

[tomclams]

[sandranason]

I pay full currently as he doesn't take any kind of insurance. I was just wondering if I get penalized if I don't go for an initial exam using medicare

[charlesmyhra]

Where would a Medigap Plan N co-payment fall into the process?

I was scheduled for outpatient surgery this month. After completing all my labs and imaging, I asked my surgeon's office to send me an itemized estimate of costs for just the surgery. Not only did they not provide me with an itemized list, they told me that my Plan G (Anthem) would NOT cover the 20 percent left over from Medicare Part B. I initially suspected I had inadvertently purchased (from Boomer Benefits) a high deductible Plan G, but a phone call to Anthem confirmed this was not the case, that my deductible was $233. Now, wouldn't it be Medicare's job to send the 20 percent bill to Anthem, and not the surgeon's office? And could the Plan G deny paying for services that Medicare has approved? Is my surgeon's office wrong, or am I missing something here? I should mention that I bought my Anthem plan in California, but my surgery was to be in Phoenix.

[PTran-nggl]

My Dr. Office asked me to pay it upfront, but my medicare website account didn't show the payment.

[plucas]

At 2:58 you say "...and 20% of the remaining charges." Shouldn't it be "...and the remaining 20% of the charges?" I'm a bit confused....
