This Episode of The Senior Podcast Show focuses on Navigating Medicare. We will be joined by special guest Debbie Stroup, Licensed Insurance Professional and Michigan Medicare Specialist.
Choosing the correct Medicare plan is of the utmost importance! According to Debbie, it is critical to place yourself in the CORRECT Medicare plan that is designed to meet your specific budget, health care needs and that works with ALL your doctors and prescriptions. It is very important that you work directly with a local, independent Medicare Specialist. They are trained directly by Medicare and will help you find the best plan to fit your needs, budget and work with your doctors and pharmacy.
In this episode we discuss when someone can sign up for Medicare and at which age, the difference between Part A, Part B, Part C and Part D, Medicare Advantage Plans and Medicare Supplemental/MediGap Plans, and questions you should ask to better understand which plan is best for YOU!
REMEMBER you must pick your 2023 plan by December 7th, 2022!
