Joe Still and guest Mark Maynard of Senior Benefit Solutions discuss applying for Medicare, examine the various types of Medicare plans, and share why it is important to work with trusted professionals as you plan for Medicare and retirement.

Medicare is one of the toughest federal programs to navigate, a maze of confusing choices, odd deadlines, and potential penalties. Yet it's critically important for everyone, even if you're just starting out in your career, to understand it. On this episode, Susan Hirshman, director of wealth management at the Schwab Center for Financial Research and a Medicare expert, joins host Mike Townsend to help demystify Medicare for listeners. Noting that almost everyone pays into Medicare from their very first job, Hirshman discusses how Medicare needs to be part of your financial plan throughout your life—not just right before you turn 65. She shares insight on the key choices and deadlines in Medicare, how to determine which Medicare option is right for you, the importance of long-term care insurance and health savings accounts to supplement Medicare, and how to avoid common mistakes. Mike also shares his latest updates from Washington, including the president's new budget proposal, the recent vote in the House of Representatives that could lead to banning the popular social media app TikTok, and the court battle that has put a temporary stop to the SEC's controversial new climate risk disclosure rule.WashingtonWise is an original podcast for investors from Charles Schwab.

Todd Morrissey is President of Medicare Solutions at Advisors Excel. Advisors Excel is a nationwide firm based out of Topeka. It helps independent financial professionals, advisors, and wealth managers build independent practices.This episode will give you an insider's view into why financial planners, wealth managers and their firms haven't typically gotten very involved in Medicare insurance coverage. But, that's changing and Todd reviews why it's very important to start planning for Medicare well before age 64, how taxes and IRMAA play a part of the equation as well as HSAs.Full episode transcript, notes. quotes and links:https://themattferetshow.com"What I will tell you is some individuals who look at a Medicare Advantage and they see what a max out of pocket is, but they say to themselves, "Well, but I'm not paying a premium every month. I can write that check for the max out of pocket." So they know they have that. But you're right. There are some clients where a financial advisor is talking to them and they say, "Look, I want to go to the doctor. I want to not have any out of pocket expense. I just want to pay my premium." Well, then a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) is something that they would consider. The adage of one size does not fit everybody is definitely true in the Medicare space."-Todd Morrissey, Advisors ExcelThe Matt Feret ShowPrepare for MedicareThe Matt Feret Show YouTube Channel#HSA, #IRMAA, #Medicare, #Medigap, #MedicareSupplement, #IRMAA, #Financialplanner, #Wealthmanagement, #PlanG, #PlanN, #PrepareforMedicare, #TMFS, #TheMattFeretShow Hosted on Acast.

Don't Forget to Register for Medicare ABCs, a Virtual Info-Only Event! https://bit.ly/2CG6OQN There was a production problem yesterday, apologies! In This Episode: Getting Medicare Info on YouTube doesn't work. Doesn't this make me a hypocrite? Perhaps, but the point of my videos is to attempt to communicate that you need a COHESIVE, COORDINATED approach. Separating health insurance matters from other financial planning aspects is asking for trouble. Something will get missed, and it can be very expensive. Presidential candidate Joe Biden proposes lower Medicare eligibility from 65 to 60. That means different things to different group: existing Medicare beneficiaries, those between 60-65, and those who want to plan ahead. The age at which Medicare planning (part of financial planning) would become more complicated, and sooner than prior beliefs.

Illinois could be a precursor of what's to time for state budgets across the country. This could have HUGE impacts on your health insurance, especially if you were relying on the state retirement plan to provide benefits. So, even if you currently have retiree health benefits through your employer it behooves you to understand Medicare, Medigap and Medicare Advantage plans. Facts are, while employers may not have the ability to reduce pensions because pensions were contractually agreed to, the same can't be said for health benefits. It's up to YOU to understand your options. Thankfully, Illinois isn't a crazy expensive state when it comes to Medigap and there are numerous Medicare Advantage plans available for you too.

This is a podcast you NEED to listen to... Why? Because everyone, and I literally mean EVERYONE, will come into contact with Medicare at some point. And the more you know about Medicare, the better off you'll be. Did you know that by only having Medicare Part A and B, you still have unlimited financial liability? There is no maximum out of pocket for you. So, you need to get either a Medicare Advantage or a Medigap policy to go along with your Parts A and B. What are these and what do they cover you ask? Great question. I have the same questions which is why I brought on Jae. Jae is the author of the book, "Maximize Your Medicare" and can be found at his website www.maximizeyourmedicare.com. Highly recommend you sign up for his free newsletter there too. Did you know that Medicare Advantage plans MUST include prescription drug coverage? I didn't. Switch from Medigap to Medicare Advantage? No problem. The other way though? Maybe not. Listen and learn my friends. Valuable. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/josh-scandlen-podcast/support
