Joe Biden beat you!
Someone, somewhere sat down and figured it out so that it could ALL be stacked AGAINST the seniors. Never in our working years did we have to make insurance decisions to "last the remainder of our lives". This causes me to NOT want to play the game and to NEVER purchase insurance. I have to die sometime. Might as well be in my home whenever I get sick. SMH
"No providers within 50 miles." I don't remember discussing this when I signed on. Will not return my phone calls. I think maybe I've been taken advantage of.
Hi John - are you a Boomer client? I am happy to get you in touch with someone asap if so!
unless your on a DSNP
Yes - DSNP plans can offer different benefits.
They don't take Medicare in the Philippines
That is correct - Medicare only works in the US.
I have a telehealth appt scheduled in July.
You should have no problem having that appt in july!
Does this include advantage plans? And what about medical practices that send med techs to your house and do video calls with a nurse or doctor? Since I don’t drive when I found out about this medical place I became a patient. They do have a brick and mortar clinic tho. I have quite a few medical issues that need frequent care.
Medicare Advantage plans should be able to make rules that work for the plan. It would be best to check with your doctor and see how they are coding your visits to see if they are medically necessary.
I don't see a link in comments?

Does the Part B premium get paid on the 1st of the month and is the giveback also applied on the 1st of the month?
Hi there - It comes out of your social security check on that months payment. Typically the buy back does take a month or two to get set up and then you will see it in the same check.
Thank you for the info. I read recently that Humana and CVS/Aetna will be downsizing their MA plans.
Turning 65 in august.I'm still working full time am I required to apply for medicare. I have coverage from my employer.
If your coverage is considered creditable (more than 20 employees), you will not need to apply for Medicare.
Are you saying you can't apply for Medigap until your part B is in effect? Wouldn't this cause a gap period where you have medicare but no medigap?
Hi there - you need to have your Medicare number to apply for a Medigap.
Does plan N pay for physical therapy? Is there a copay?
Yes, as long as it is medically necessary you will be covered. The copay is up to your office and how they are billing it.
I am a 59 yr. Old that was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in 2020. I only have Medicaid for insurance, will be approved for medicare.
Hi Debbie - yes, you have a one time enrollment to Medicare where they do not look at your health history.
BOOMER is wonderful! They are very thorough and knowledgeable and not fraudulent 😊
Thank you! So glad you think so :)
It is a great video thanks for the great information and well delivered. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Glad it was helpful!
Why was my part B stopped?
Hi Janell - did you stop paying your premium?
Look into Cost Plus by Mark Cuban Good discounts
do you know how munch medicare part B coast ? our income around 70000 a year
You should only pay the minimum amount! You can read more here - boomerbenefits.com/irmaa-calculator/
Danielle's UA-cam videos helped me avoid a world of hurt with using my employee coverage which included an HSA for a while before retirement. Boomer Benefits later helped me to choose Medigap and Part D plans. When I had an issue with Medicare not paying due to the timing of signing up and then having to go to Emergency soon after, Boomer Benefits helped me again. They really know their stuff and can make overwhelming scenarios much easier to handle. I would recommend them to anyone.
YAY - thank you for your kind comment :)
Thanks for taking the time for this.
My pleasure!
Knowledge empowers. The roadmap works better when you know which streets to avoid. Thanks, Danielle Roberts, for your great content!
You're so welcome!
Too confusing. I prefer to stay far away from it all.
We understand it can be confusing! Watch our videos to learn more :)
I got into a total train wreck with United Health, complete FUBAR situation over part B and my address. UH canceled my part B because my address changed to the address I had provided them, where I lived. (Yes, read that again) Apparently I moved to where I already lived, go figure 🤣 The folks over at Boomer Benefits (Catherine H and Jeff B) were able to step in and handle the whole SNAFU like pro's. These guys are rock stars when the wheels come off and that is when it counts most.
That is great news - thank you so much for this comment!
Good Video, Danielle. Thanks. I just started Medicare in April (got my Supplement plan and Part D plan through BB). Just an anecdote: I went to the pharmacy for my refills of two Tier 1 prescriptions a month after I started the new Part D plan. I was ready to give my Part D card to the pharmacy tech and without looking at my card, she said that it's already in their system for my account. She said that it all goes by name and birth date. When I got home I verified under my account on the Part D plan company's website that sure enough there were the two meds paid for. My whole point is that it's kind of scary how all of my info is already "out there" without even having to provide it to the pharmacy. I guess it's like auto and home insurance -- where any new company can see everything that you already have with your existing company???
That can happen! We are glad it worked out easily for you and yes, that can be a scary thing too!
Thank you for the tips. I am a Boomer Benefits client and everything has been fine so far. I'll set up an annual-notice-of-care reminder on my calendar as you suggest. I do not use Facebook but it seems I'm getting all important communications by email, phone call, and here on your UA-cam channel.
We love to hear that! Yes, you will get emails from us as well :)
Thank you 💯
You're welcome!
I have seen videos of people who don’t do the supplements at all. I wish I could find them now. My AARP G plan will be $3000. A year . I can’t afford that but these people put fear of big medical bills in my nightmares.
Have you looked into another medigap plan?
An insurance peddler. I’m looking for a person like me who has Medicare A,B,D . I’d like to drop the G.
What is your question? She is telling you about other options to G and N. What are you going on about?
What questions do you have? We will help with whatever we can!
I enjoy how you explain in detail all about the Medicare plan system. You are one of the few knowledgeable agents that does not bash on these Advantage plans, and that do understand that they are well suited for many of us. So when October rolls around for the open enrollment, I will be giving Boomer Benefits a call for my next plan.👍
So glad you enjoyed watching our webinar! We look forward to helping you in the fall :)
They don’t pay for what I need
Hi Paula - What services have you found that you are paying for?
@@BoomerBenefits I’m paying for all diabetic supplies when Medicare is supposed to cover it. They won’t pay for my hearing aids or ant dental. They have also denied my claims for phyical therapy that my doctored referred me to.
We’re l can find lnsurence plan that cover “l plants dental” l am on WellPoint now but my plan l used all , l need find another lnsurence that have l plant cover beside WellPoint! Can you help me to find it please! God bless you all ❤
Why it’s so complicated and why these videos never explain things fully. They always ask to sign up here register there to find out more.
Hi there - what questions can we help you with?
Thanks madam. All these videos are so useful 🙏
My pleasure 😊
I'm 100% P & T and am Priority Group 1 for VA Med Care. 100% P & T and PG 1 gives me totally free med care, dental, vision care, and audiology services (including hearing aids). I am in San Francisco so I have access to a major VA Med Center (that includes an inpatient hospital). When the time came to sign up for Medicare I passed on that because I'm very pleased with the VAMC. (Already had three surgeries, four colonoscopies, and what seems like an MRI every year. Plus I get labs every few months. And of course all prescriptions free.) Bottom line: I know not everyone has this level of VA healthcare, just saying for this Veteran, I'm good.
thanks for your comment!
Thank you for this information. How much is a month? Is this amount different for everyone?
Yes, it will be different for everyone due to income. Learn more here - ua-cam.com/video/e7hPcPjXD_U/v-deo.html
Thank you for this video. This video is the most simplified explanation of what options are available for federal employees. However, I'm still in search of video about Medicare and FEHB for those who are veterans eligible to receive care at VA medical centers but have families who has no coverage from VA and not yet of age to enroll in Medicare. I wonder how those factors play into health care decision making if at all.
Thank you! You might want to look into healthcare.gov for more information for those that do not qualify.
Most brokers will not mention HD plan G.
We have a lot of HDG fans!
Thnx 👍
thanks for watching!
I had a diabetic eye exam and the dr's office has billed me two times. I thought a diabetic eye exam was covered by Medicare?
Does your eye doctor accept medicare?
@@BoomerBenefits Yes
My wife and I are thankful to Boomer Benefits members!
Thank you! So glad we could help you :)
Can someone on plan N flip flop to plan G without medical underwriting - or some kind of penalty?
In most states, you cannot gain coverage without going through underwriting.
Social Security was never meant to be a retirees sole income. Also, when social security started the retirees did not live as long as they do in 2020s, I keep repeating to my children to stash maximum allowed $ into Roth IRA and 401K.
Thanks for your advice!
Hi There, I'm a little confused by the window to change to an equal Supplement plan. I read this on the California Department of Insurance: "Q: What is the "Birthday Rule" and how does it apply to the new Medigap Plans? A: If you already have Medigap insurance, you have 60 days of "open enrollment" following your birthday each year when you can buy a new Medigap policy without a medical screening or a new waiting period. The new policy must have the same or lesser benefits as your old policy. To avoid confusion, the new law specifies which of the new Plans are equal to the old Plans. So I'm wondering.......... Is it 30 days before and 30 days after? Or is the window........ 60 days after my birthday?
Hi there - this is super dependent on the carrier and how they allow each application to process. You have AT LEAST 30 days after your birthday. Give us a call and we can review the carriers rules with you 817-249-8600.
My Part B went UP $312 per year, all of a sudden! How do retired people afford cost of living, increase in home insurance and taxes, groceries, gas, etc as they age?
Was this due to IRMAA or is it about your Medigap? If its your Medigap premium, you can shop for you a lower premium.
I think they should approve weight loss drugs. Extra weight causes so many avoidable illnesses by losing weight. And these illness are very expensive to treat.
We hope to see additional coverage in the future!
Seniors shouldn't pay anything since the government made all kinds of money on the interest they've made from our SS since we began work at age 16!
Thanks for your comment!
I have had an HMO my entire adult life through all my employers. Had premium deductibles and prior authorizations. Even recently on Medicaid, I needed prior authorizations. So I’m not really getting why everybody complains about Medicare advantage plans, considering I’m willing to bet the majority of us had had plans in the past at the same way. I’m going to advantage plan because a person in my situation is not offered a supplemental. Orinal part B has too much financial risk. No way I will pay out of pocket
Thanks for your comment - we appreciate your insight :)
Is it a requirement to pay 5 months in advance from the date of 65 birthday on medicare
Typically it is only 3 months
