Daniel Kurt: Five Distinct Features of Medicare Advantage
Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 05/27/2014 - 18:26
- Pricing and Coverage Vary- With Medicare Advantage multiple insurance carriers are competing for patients, recipients contribute the usual part B premium, but they generally pay an additional premium
- Customer Satisfaction is Key- The Medicare website uses a star system to rate different insurers and takes into account member experiences and how plans manage chronic conditions
- Watch Limits on Choosing Doctors – If you have specific health care professionals you’d like to see, you’ll want to check whether they’re part of the system
- Out-of-Pocket Expenses Are Capped- Under the Affordable Care Act, that limit is $6,700 annually
- You May Need to Wait for Open Enrollment- Those who prefer a private plan can join Medicare Advantage when they first sign up for Medicare
