In this episode, we are joined by Josh Kinzel from Seniority Benefit Group to discuss key changes and updates for Medicare Open Enrollment 2024, highlighting how these alterations might impact current and prospective enrollees.Josh Kinzel brings 18 years of experience, with a focus on Medicare for the past 16 years. He assists individuals with the often intimidating and multifaceted choice of Medicare plans, alleviating concerns without any charge for services.Open Enrollment for Medicare runs from October 15th to December 7th each year. The discussion underscores the complexity of Medicare and the crucial nature of informed decision-making. Fidelity Investments estimates retirees' lifetime healthcare costs can exceed $160,000, making a thorough understanding of Medicare essential.A significant part of the episode is the reassurance that clients feel when working with local services familiar with area doctors and hospitals. The familiarity brings a level of comfort that can be very reassuring. Regarding premiums, there is uncertainty about the monthly Medicare premium, with a slight increase projected, reflecting typical stability during election years.Several impactful changes include the Inflation Reduction Act that aims to cap annual prescription drug costs at $2,000 by the next year and the Extra Help Program, which offers income-based assistance for drug costs to those earning below $23,000 (individual) or $31,000 (married couple). This program plans to eliminate premiums and deductibles while limiting drug charges significantly. This financial support could benefit millions of individuals.Medicare can now negotiate prices for certain drugs, akin to the Veterans Commission, starting with 10 approved drugs. This negotiation process is expected to lead to significant cost reductions, such as capping out-of-pocket costs at $2,000 and slashing insulin prices to $35 per month.An ongoing promotional push encourages eligible individuals to apply for the Extra Help Program, emphasizing the ease of application and potential savings. The podcast also stresses the importance of accessible information for those impacted.Updates to Medicare Advantage Plans were highlighted as they require mid-year updates to clients starting in 2025 to promote better utilization of available benefits like exercise programs, grocery benefits, and gym memberships, including the popular SilverSneakers program. Expansion in mental health and dementia care programs is also covered, offering support for older adults and caregivers. Additionally, expanded access to 24/7 mental health and dementia care support aims to help patients stay at home longer.Planned negotiations for more drugs will start in 2025, with further expansions expected in 2026. The history of prescription coverage pre-2006 meant patients bore full medication costs, which evolved post-2006 into a system involving co-pays and deductibles, with significant changes brought by the Inflation Reduction Act, including the elimination of the donut hole and the introduction of a $2,000 cap on drug expenses.Medicare's unique parts are outlined: Part A covers hospitalization often with no cost for those who've worked 40 quarters, and Part B covers outpatient services with a 2024 premium of $174.70, typically accounting for 80% of medical claims. Beyond basic Medicare, paths include Original Medicare with Supplements (Medigap) and separate Part D for prescriptions or Medicare Advantage (Part C), which integrates Parts A, B, and often D into one plan managed by a private insurer.Josh emphasizes the non-profit nature of brokers and their role in educating clients without influencing the cost of insurance. Local expertise provided by groups like Seniority Benefit Group is invaluable in navigating Medicare options. Key Moments00:00 Helping with Medicare choices free of charge.03:48 Internship...

Are Joe Namath and William Shatner giving you the best possible advice about Medicare? During the Medicare Open Enrollment period last fall, you probably saw TV ads for companies selling Medicare Advantage Plans featuring these and other senior celebrities. That's because, under most circumstances, the Open Enrollment period is the one time per year that seniors can change their Medicare coverage. And, in recent years, Medicare Advantage Plans have become a popular way for seniors to cover more of their health care needs. However, rising costs are causing many insurance companies to change, and in some cases, stop offering Advantage Plans. On today's show, we discuss how potential changes could affect the healthcare piece of your comprehensive financial plan.

We hear from people who aren't happy with their Medicare supplement plan and they think they can change it during open enrollment. We've heard from people who didn't get a Medicare supplement or Medigap policy when first eligible, and they think now they can add it like if they would with a drug plan. However, Open Enrollment doesn't apply to Medigap policies. If you want to change your Medigap policy, you can apply at any time during the year, and medical underwriting may apply. If you are trying to change from Medicare Advantage to a Medicare supplement Medigap policy, there's only two times you can drop that Advantage plan and one of them is coming up. So we say shop for your Medicare supplement first, get your guaranteed acceptance in hand and then dis-enroll from the Advantage plan during Open Enrollment and you'll be good to go January 1." On Common Mistakes with Medicare Open Enrollment "I think waiting until the last minute, then they can't get through or something gets messed up. The mistake I already mentioned: assuming that you don't have to do anything if you love your plan. That happens. I did a client last year. I did his wife early this year, and she says, I'm not supposed to tell you this, Diane, my husband didn't take any drugs. He was in the cheapest plan that he could be in, but then he didn't open his Annual Notice. And come to find out, I think this was two years ago, the plan he was in was discontinued and he was enrolled automatically and that went from $10 to $69. It's a mistake - not opening your Annual Notice of Changes as far as Open Enrollment goes." On What to Do with Medicare Open Enrollment "Don't pay attention to the commercials. Look at your Annual Notice of Changes and then do your homework. So my words to people, and again,

As the air crisps and the leaves change, you know what that means: Fall is here! But it also means that Medicare Open Enrollment is about to begin. On this episode, I'm going over five Medicare Open Enrollment mistakes you want to avoid and answering a listener's question about Health Savings Accounts. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Can you draw from two HSA accounts to pay for one individual's medical expenses? [1:43] Is it too early to start looking at enrollment options? [4:13] Is last year's Medicare plan still the best option? [6:02] Should monthly premiums be the only deciding factor for Medicare plans? [7:09] Examining the real cost of Medicare plans [8:50] Will your Medicare plan let you see your doctor? [10:31] Choosing the Medicare plan that's right for you Medicare Open Enrollment starts on October 15th and lasts until December 7th, but is now a good time to start looking at your options? Absolutely it is! You don't have to wait until October to research the best Medicare plan for your needs. Talk to friends and supplemental Medicare representatives, attend seminars, and even go to medicare.gov to compare and contrast the numerous choices available. One mistake current Medicare enrollees make is assuming that the plan they selected last year is still the best plan for them. Many Medicare Advantage plans offer an initially low or free premium plan to get people to sign up, only to significantly increase the price the following year. You definitely want to compare your options annually to ensure you're getting the best plan for the right price. Understanding the costs and benefits of your Medicare plan A big mistake to avoid during Medicare Open Enrollment is using your plan's monthly premium as the only deciding factor for signing up. While your monthly premium may be low, out-of-pocket costs can get out of control. Prescriptions, labs, and doctor's visits may not be covered by a low premium plan, so you definitely want to do your research. Paying a higher premium for better coverage may be your best option. A huge shock for some Medicare enrollees is finding out their existing doctor will not accept their Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan. A PPO is a health care plan that allows members to see out-of-network doctors, usually for a higher price. Just because your plan allows you to see out-of-network providers does not mean YOUR provider accepts that plan. Double-check with your doctor to make sure everything is compatible before signing up.
