You will need to enroll in Medicare with Social Security Admissions. It is NOT automatic. I am also turning 65 in May 2022, you must enroll within 6 months (window is 3 months prior or after your birth month) without any penalty. I called SSA in March, and SSA scheduled a phone interview for me late April to complete my enrollment. Key Point- you must call SSA to enroll in Medicare now, it’s NOT automatic. You can also save yourself some time by registering online to create an account with SSA to avoid looking for personal info when speaking with SSA. Good luck. 😊

Thank you Bob!! Your video is excellent!! It helped a great deal for someone new to Medicare. Any suggestion on what criteria to compare ....my husband is Medicare eligible and can choose between between being on my insurance from work HSA Plan and Plan G. Currently, the premium at work is $198.29 for Medical per pay. There are 2 pays periods each mth. The family deductible is 3000.00. The MOOP is 10K
@MedicareBob Жыл бұрын
As long as you are still working and he is on your coverage, he can defer Medicare Part B and not be penalized. You are in the position of evaluating if he should stay on your coverage or go onto Medicare and add the Plan G. Based on the deducible you mentioned and the MOOP, it's your call. Part B is going to be $165 a month, the Plan G is going to be around $125 (I would need more info to provide an exact quote), part d is going to be $25 (again not exact quote). So would you prefer for him to pay around $300-350 have a $226 annual deductible and $226 MOOP or pay the $198.29 and stay on your coverage? I dont think there is a bad answer here... Call our office and ask for Marcus Graham, 1-833-463-3262. He will provide the exact cost for the part D and the Plan G. His health is a factor, if he is healthy then I am 50/50 on what you should do. If he has health issues, than put him on Medicare and the Plan G.

Medicare supplement premiums do increase. In my experience, if someone gets a rate increase but they used their Plan a lot, they are not upset because they are getting value. When new to Medicare Part B this is the only time when everyone is automatically approved for a Medicare Supplement Plan. You are allowed to shop your Supplement Plan any time of the year but you will have to medically qualify to change your Supplement Plan. I always try to assist my Clients with getting the best priced Medicare Supplement Plan that they are eligible for.

@MedicareBob2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for your question, when you turn 65 it is the only time in your life that one is eligible for any Supplement Plan that they want without medically qualifying without. There ar eother Guaranteed Issued rights, 7 of them to be exact that allow one to get certain Supplement Plans without medically qualifying. For example, if you have a Medicare Advantage Plan and then move out of service area then you are a GI for a Plan F if you went on Medicare Part A / B prior to 2020 and Plan G if you went on Medicare after 2020. Now, to answer your question, you will have to medically qualify to go from a Plan F to a Plan G and vice versa. Let me take some pressure off of you, Plan F, G and N are all AMAZING plans, so even if you get stuck in one of them, you are going to have great coverage. Also, in my experience, if a person is not healthy enough to change their Supplement Plan to a different one they are not upset because it means that their Plan is paying there bills while they are going through a medical issue. We only get "mad" at our insurance Companies if we are paying a ton of premium and not getting a return from them in the form of them paying claims for us. So basically, if you cant change it is because you are prob using the Plan a lot which means you are coming out a head. -Bob
