Medicare Part A B C D Explained (and made simple!)

[carolynwolfe]

Something is really wrong with our system of government when we need to watch youtube videos and spend hours researching just in order to enroll in medicare. It's ridiculous. Thanks for the video and enlightening me on what I have to look forward to. Nothing should be this complicated, or this expensive.

The info CAN be found on Medicare and SSA websites. But it takes a LOT of digging. This is GREAT info in a short time - Thank You! Here's an interesting Medicare TRAP - STOP contributing to your HSA at least 6 months before you sign up for Medicare (for those over 65 by 6 months or more). If you get a voluntary retirement proposal (with nice benefits) that compel you to retire "a little" early and instantly lose your creditable Med Insurance, well, that's my situation. Or maybe you are part of a "Reduction In Forces (RIFF)" or whatever they call them today. Seems the Medicare TRAP forces you to pay a penalty for either your HSA contributions or your Plan D. Must figure that out, not sure there is a way to avoid some kind of penalty/theft.

Within 24 hours, someone reached out to me and was able to answer my questions about Medicare. Your agent, Jaqueline, was excellent. Thank you for what you do!

Thank you for taking the stress out of moving to Medicare.

The government doesn't give us enough education/ information.
Second, insurance companies call us every day for sale, but they are laying information. they only need to be sold.
3 thank you for your valuable information.

@AbtInsuranceAgency, Thank you SO MUCH Stephanie for your clear explanations of this stuff. Your excellent grasp of the subject matter and the ability to convey that clearly is so helpful. Really appreciate the work you do here - have shared your info with quite a few friends and they've all appreciated it as well.

Thank you for sharing all this great information in an easy-to-understand presentation. I've started to look into this for my parents, and it's been so overwhelming. Love that you are so responsive in the comments. You're helping tons of people! I'll be sure to call your offices when it comes time for my parents to sign up for an advantage plan. TYSM!

Best advice or suggestions for Vision, Hearing & Dental.

These are the black holes for seniors.

As always we rely on you and your group for guidance. Thank You

Thank you for your very clear, current explanation of how the different parts of Medicare work. I followed up with Abt Insurance to get answers to more of my questions. The associate handled all of my inquiries and set me up with a Medicare Advantage plan with a major insurer. This was definitely the best solution for me (just turned 65 in 2/23). I highly recommend going to Abt Insurance for answers to your Medicare questions. Relax! This call is free, unthreatening and will help you decide which Medicare plan is right for you!!! Abt Insurance: Thank you for your videos and your professional consultation!

Thank you for the information I got seven months before I turn 65 and I don't know what to do currently I'm still employed

Hi, Stephanie. Can you talk about the long term care? Thanks

Humana is great. I paid a grand total of $958 for cancer treatment.

Thanks for the information on this video. I'm a former civilian Federal Government employee and just turned 64. Given the scope of my current insurance coverage, I'm trying to determine the necessity/value of enrolling in Medicare at all. Even if I enroll in Medicare Advantage and the gov't covers my Part B premiums, what am I gaining? I'm sure a lot of former feds have the same question. Thanks again.

i need more information in regards to Part B--D. I heard on this video that i should have medicare already by the 1st of the month when I'm turning 65 ? i did applied previously, but my records still showing pending- don't know pending for what. Also that i need to pay for medicare part B but at the beginning of the video says Part A and B are free. Confusion here!!
How can i get all these answers and more understanding before i get penalized.

[AlwaysLisaLisa]

I feel bad for most of us as SSI is not a lot and Part bB can be almost $200, not including remaining parts C n D

[KJ-vcsw]

I cannot thank you enough for making these videos.

You mention that Part C (advantage plans) oftentimes include vision, prescription drugs, and dental, but at no extra costs (?). How is that possible? Are Part A & B deductibles and copays increased to make up the difference? And why would a private company provide this service for free? What's the catch? Am I misunderstanding something?
