Medicare Advantage Minute: Nine Payers (Insurance Companies) Recently Fined by Various States

Your Medicare Benefits 2025: Prosthetic Devices

The Hey MOE (Medicare Open Enrollment) drug plan selection service is ready to pick out the best Part D drug plan available in your neck of the woods. The automated process is able to compare more variables than even the highly experienced Lazy Man team can do.

Finally, we review an article suggesting that claim denials are increasing. The statistics show that most providers are burdened by a growing level of scrutiny and regulation which suggests that insurance companies are tightening the screws.

Medicare Advantage Minute article entitled "Why These Unique MA Plans are Poised for Popularity!"

Your Medicare Benefits 2025: "Yearly Wellness Visit"

The category selected for a deeper dive was the one entitled "Rates & Financial" We took a look at the current Plan G rate increases caused by our inflationary economy. By comparison, the rate increases given to high deductible plans are often $0 and rarely more than a token amount. This is one of the excellent benefits of High Deductible Plan G!

The Fleetwood review of my newest book: "Medicare for the Lazy Man: BARE BONES" is a dire warning that it was written by (gulp) an INSURANCE AGENT! To quote the review: BEWARE!

Returning to format, we began with the Medicare Advantage Minute: BC/BS of Texas announced the cessation of sales commissions for all of their MA plans.

In the Your Medicare Benefits 2025 we address the Welcome to Medicare Preventive Visit and learn what is included as well as how Medicare will cover it.

Department of Corrections: A previous trivia item about the origin of the Pink Panther had to be corrected.

Finally, we dipped into the folder labelled "Correspondence" to enjoy some Q & A about two distinctly different situations. As an aside, both principals are now happy clients of mine, and I am happy to have them!

But first, how about our regular episode segments?

Medicare Advantage Minute: Hospitals aren't the only ones stepping back from Medicare Advantage!

Your Medicare Benefits 2025: Preventive and screening services

From the Q & A folder we address the following subjects:

1) How are prescription drugs covered when one is in an emergency room? Hint: Toni King provided an answer but I believe she displayed a little bit of confusion by overlooking an important fact presented in the question.

2) Does Medicare cover annual (routine) physical examinations?
