Yeah, but if you have certain medical conditions...or take certain medications, GOOD LUCK getting INTO a Supplemental plan! I tried to move from Mutual of Omaha Plan G to Mutual of Omaha Plan N (cheaper), I had to honestly answer ONE medical question 'Yes' (for a disc issue), and I was then told no...I can't change. Even the same company!!!

My husband was very sick. He went into the hospital on December 30, 2023 and died there on January 21, 2024. He had Plan G. I was billed $240. That's it for 22 days. Nothing more. Let me tell you, it was a big relief to me as I was already overwhelmed and grieving over his death. I was worried I was going to have to sell my house and live in my vehicle or with one of my kids and it still wouldn't be enough to pay off the bills. He died just three weeks before our 40th wedding anniversary.😢

We have had the G plan for six years and are very happy with it. Yes we can afford it, but it has paid for everything we have needed after our deductibles. WE haven't had to get referrals for almost all our doctors. And yes the price of it has gone up every year. Still it has saved us thousands because we have both had many unexpected illnesses that have needed extensive doctor visits and tests.

Have had plan G for several years. The first four years there was a very minimal increase in monthly premiums. The past three years it has increased substantially. Due to multiple health issues I must keep this plan. So far I have been able to make payment for the deductible and monthly premiums and really hope I can continue to do so. A month after I retired, my health seemed to just get out of hand. I must have good coverage and most likely mat not qualify through other companies. I hope to continue to afford plan G. Since retirement and going on Medicare I have paid more for medical insurance than I ever did my entire life.

Thanks, good information. It's interesting to watch the costs for 65, it looks so reasonable. When you hit 76, the cost of the premium in AZ now runs me $214 per month for plan N. As you mentioned, for plan D to get "reasonable" drug coverage on name brand drugs, the premium is high, and the cost for the prescription I pay is still very high. Fortunately, some of these drugs will be capped with the new out of pocket limit in 2025. Even with these increases, it still beats the $900 per month I was spending for medical coverage before I turned 65.

You left out one of the most important considerations and that is pre-approvals. With Traditional Medicare and a Supplement (G, N, etc.) there are essentially no pre-approvals. If your doctor says you need something you get it without delay. I said essentially because there are some things that have limits on how frequently you can get them. On the other hand, with a Medicare Advantage plan, pretty much any expensive procedure will require that the insurance company approve the procedure before they will pay for it. An example is a surgery like knee or hip replacement. The advantage plan will require that your doctors submit documentation before the surgery and the plan may not approve it at all, or may require that you do something else (physical therapy, injections, etc. before you have the surgery.

We live in a very rural area, without alot of options for docs and dentists. It's at least an hour and a half drive to any decent medical care. Medicare Advantage would put us at a distinct DISadvantage, it seems to us. We also like to camp out of state, and need to have choices when we travel and medical or dental issues arise. For us, a supplement seems to make more sense.

I'll give you three anecdotes. 84yo MIL Got a cancer DX 2 weeks after FIL died. They live in rural MO. MIL had Real Medicare and a Plan G Supplement it cost $4000 2024. We brought her to our home in Atlanta and she has paid only Medicare premiums and annual deductibles, small prescriptions. We also learned some Patient Assistance Programs do not take MA patients. Her $16K a month cancer Rx is free on a Patient Assistance Program. Her brother, outside St Louis had MA. He could not leave STL for care. In his plan he had to stay in his region. $250 ambulance ride, Hospital stay co-pays $1600, meds varied with needs. He also had $33 late enrollment for life because he signed up late. My sister has MS. She was sold on a MA plan just to find NONE of her specialists accept ANY MA plans. She switched back to Real Medicare but was unable to qualify for a supplement due to the MS. But, she can see whatever specialists she needs, NYC or Atlanta.

She checked, then said, “Oh - you have Medicare and a Plan G Supplement - NO AUTHORIZATION NEEDED; we can schedule your PET Scan” YES, I’m paying over $400/month for Part B ($174.70), AARP/UnitedHealth Care Plan G ($148.60), WellCare Part D Prescription ($0.50) and UnitedHealth Care Dental/Vision ($50.70) and a MASA Medical Transportation Plan ($30 - the nearest Level I Trauma Center is 45 miles away in Salt Lake City; Medicare may or may not classify ambulance/air transport as “medically necessary”) - but my ONCOLOGIST and not an insurance functionary makes decisions about my treatment

I live in CT. Cheapest N is 170, cheapest G is 260. I chose high deductible plan G for 55 per month for the remainder of 2024. It has a 2800 deductible. Haven't finished the video yet so not sure if this is touched on. If i chose N, id pay 1920 per year whether I used it or not. Regular G would cost me 3120 per year whether i used it or not. So for now it makes sense for me to choose high deductible G. I'll see what 2025 is next month. Also, since i live in CT i can change supplement plans during the year without underwriting

My Plan N is now $106 a month. Only 1 physician out 3 that I see charges a co-pay which is always $9 a visit which is twice a year. It seems Medicare is closing plans that have no co-pays which might allow subscribers to visit the physician for unnecessary visits. Having a possible co pay might limit doctor visits that may not be necessary.

Thankfully I’m on only one drug and it’s not covered. I also go to a chiropractor. It’s only covered if I meet my deductible, but my cost is only 50.00, if covered cost is 25.00. I may check on plan G to see if cheaper in Illinois.

I used to process claims for an insurance company. I saw plenty of claims where a specialty doctor (there are more than a few from Mayo Clinic here in WI), or a DME provider did not accept Medicare assignment. In the case of DME, they are not limited by the 15% either. So, for an individual who requires a CPAP machine in example, the excess charge rider may be worth it for them.

Payers do this in hopes of controlling how many visits a patient makes per year to their provider. There was a RAND experiment in the 70s when govt was debating a free, universal healthcare plan. Placing beneficiaries on high deductible plans the study showed payers could control patient visits, regardless of how much a doctor charged. But the problem was that more individuals had hospital visits in the long run of the study. Budgeting for hospital is often the focus for many. Yet lately I've found the less I go see a doctor the less ill I feel. Younger crowd of MDs are just businessmen and women.

They lack empathy. Most joke and make comments that is a complete violation of HIPAA (or at least what I taught). I love how everyone always points blame elsewhere when I've seen complete disregard and negligent treatment of patients with NO accountability.

What do those supplemental plants cost meaning do you have to prove medical insure ability? Example if I’ve had breast cancer, does that make me disqualified and if the cancer was three or four years ago?

My mother (87) has an advantage plan, she is aging, frail, but still in good health and no meds. However, I know that eventually she might have to go to the hospital or a skilled nursing facility . I wonder if it would be a good idea to switch her to have a plan G or N now that I know that hospital stay is expensive. PlanG OR N is probably very expensive at her age. Any suggestions?

i just checked the N plan and compared it to my current G plan with the insurance company i have. the N plan is only $3 cheaper a month and $20 dollars each doc visit. can't figure out if a copay is for primary care doc visit or PT visits. How do I find out that? do i have to call the company? because i had 18 visits to date with more coming in the next 2 months for different docs and PT so I would have ended up I believe paying more for a plan N than staying with the plan G. Is that right?

Percentage wise, your increases over the future years as are higher with Plan G. Plan G has millions more participants than Plan N. That why Plan N will cost u les a overall in your lifetime....Also, check different insurance companies for their G & N prices.

People are going to be shocked like I was when the new part D for 2025 pricing is released. My 2024 is a 10.00/mo. With no copay for tier1. In 2025 my monthly premium will increase to 44.90 AND I will have to pay a deductible of 590.00 before I reach the initial coverage stage the the copays are 5.00 / 10.00 for tier 1 / 2. There is a max out of pocket of 2000.00 in the catastrophic stage.

BTW, $185 is for Part B only since we have to contribute 1.5% of our gross income toward FICA every year we work. For a $100K salary, that is about $130 a month. For an individual who worked 40 years, that is about $62K as face value. If he lives 30 years after retirement (65), its face value, w/o years of IR applied is $172 a month. With interest applied, it could be $300+ per month.

@@bosik4772The video briefly touched on IRMAA toward the end of the video, but that’s not what this video was about. Also, your numbers are a bit off in accuracy. The lowest end of the sliding IRMAA scale for Part B and D is $103,000 to 129,000, for a person who filed as single, two years prior to signing up for Medicare Part B. I just retired in August of this year, but I earned $120,000 or so in taxable income for 2022. That puts me in the lowest end of the five scales. That means that I will be assessed an IRMAA add-on in 2024, for my taxable income in 2022 and will likely pay an IRMAA assessment through to 2026. I just retired, so my taxable income will drop off precipitously for the next couple of years. If you’re married, filing jointly, and if you or your spouse still has a high paying job or declared income source, you will likely still be subject to the IRMAA assessment. It’s not a one-time, forever, income assessment. It goes back only to two tax-years prior, and is reassessed annually. Hope that helps.

Sick of this type of $ analysis. It is very simple. If you are and think that you will heathy, then pick N to save a few hundred dollars. A better choice may be advantage plan, save you a few thousands (why NOT). If you have some health issues and want peace of mind, then pay a couple hundred dollars and pick plan G. It is just hundreds of dollars different not thousands.
