Medicare Explained - Part D (2023)

[@annw1395]

Your videos are a life-saver. There's no way I could ever read thru all the confusing lingo on my own! You have a relaxed approach; your voice is calm; you enunciate well while still maintaining a natural tone of voice; the cadence is just right. And you're well-informed! I can't imagine doing any of this without you!

[@MedigapSeminars]

😀 Thank you

[@judyfultz5395]

Thank you for explaining this, it's very helpful to me

[@jshutcherson]

All these videos have been absolutely excellent. Much much appreciated. Am so much smarter now than I was before. And so much more prepared.

[@ianxianw5653]

Most well-structured instruction on Medicare I have found, and not cluttered by sales interest. Lucky to have found this

[@kellyyork3898]

I’m a retired educator in Georgia…retired after 33.5 years of service in Ga. I was told by the people at the state health benefit plan services that there was a Medicare Adv. plan offered to retired teachers upon turning age 65, but I was told I had to accept it at that point ( age 65 ) or lose it forever. I don’t know why they make you choose their Medicare Adv. Plan or lose it right then? I did end up accepting the MA plan with prescription drug coverage. It includes Medicare part D as you stated. My health costs are covered by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. The drug coverage is covered by a different company, and there is that 7000 dollar plus out of pocket ( Stage 3 ) that you were talking about included in the plan ( only I was told by my Medicare Adv. people that I would not move to stage 4 until I paid over 7000 out of pocket for drugs PER YEAR all total MYSELF…..but not sure the lady knew what she was talking about.). You still have to be part of Medicare to join this Med. Adv. plan I’m on, which I am, and I am eligible for of course, and I do pay Medicare premiums….I have part A and part B. But I also pay premiums for this Medicare Adv. plan, which includes drug coverage, so it’s costly when you add up all the premiums. I pay a copay at the doc’s office and there is no deductible for Part B. There is a total out of pocket of around 3500 for part B, with hospital coverage being somewhat different but it still has a stop gap type of out of pocket coverage to keep me from going broke should I ever need hospital coverage. The plan with Medicare advantage is similar to the one I had with anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield when I was still working as a teacher…,only now I’m also paying for Medicare ( except part A ) as well as the Medicare Adv. Plan. However, I’m wondering if the new rules coming out in 2023, 2024 and 2025 will apply to this Medicare advantage plan with regard to drug coverage. ???

[@christineparker3805]

I have watched many videos and so far you are the best ❤❤❤

[@christineparker3805]

He is #1 hands down 😊

[@dumitrubodiu9929]

The best explanation on this video. Mathew is explaining very clearly.

[@josietullo5306]

Thank you for explaining drug coverage so clearly!

[@charlesmalone4379]

Amazing clarity and explanation of a very complex system. Obviously a lot of effort and planning goes into these.

[@MedigapSeminars]

Thank you Charles. It takes about a week from start to finish.

[@ArleneRozo]

These videos have been great!! Very detailed and easy to understand. I tried watchine on my TV but I couldn't see the transcript so I signed onto my computer, but both are great. I have recommended you to a few of my friends and my HR person.

[@angelafletcher1576]

This is all a lot to learn, & after 3 videos, my brain is done for today. Ugh, why does our government have to make everything so complicated!!!!

[@johnlutz9275]

You do the best Job.!!! I personally what to thank you for being a great teacher.!!! Im hoping this year my wife and I, ARE GOING TO GET PLAN-)F OR PLAN-G, THEN ADD ON A GREAT PART-D... WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT . THANKS AGAIN.!!! JOHN,/ BURNSVILLE, MINNESOTA

partdshopper.com/ for Part D 2024

[@LarryKelly]

It is great. I used it watching KZbin on AppleTV to FF to the 2023 segment.

[@MedigapSeminars]

@@LarryKelly Awesome!

[@bradleysonthemove5790]

Yes, on TV. The on-screen menu is very helpful, but since I wanted to hear every topic, navigating to different topics wasn't used.

[@RBTrujillo1]

Menu system works great. Yes, I as well watch you tube on my TV but prefer watching on my computer. I just hate the multiple commercials.

[@ritadennis5752]

YES!

[@JanetVaughn-cm3et]

So very helpful, informative in plain & simple English .Thank you

[@doloresl8155]

I find these videos extremely informative and helpful. I like to see them again as a refresher, and see the updated videos as well. Thank you.

[@clairesale9405]

I was quite confused by the info for Part D on the Medicare website. Thanks for a much clearer explanation.

[@blessedone6059]

I am watching all your videos and have learned so much. It is that time for me to get Medicare and understand what to do even though I have a great agent, I want to be sure about the decisions I will be making. Greatly appreciated your well-informed videos for people who are kinda overwhelmed by all the mail you get for everyone wanting you to sign with them

[@MedigapSeminars]

If your agent doesn't know as much or is not able to guide you as I do, you might consider changing agents. Have you seen this video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/inyWlWqio9Fpndk

[@mshepnj]

We're investigating our options for my husband who is currently on my employer insurance plan, and trying to determine if it would better cost/benefit-wise to move him to Medicare Part D during annual enrollment. This is some of the best information I have found online and I appreciate you taking the time to do this. Thank you.

[@broughtonchris]

thoroughly excellent and helpful

[@MedigapSeminars]

thank you

[@jayhaffner5483]

Very well done video. Extremely informative, timely, and enjoyable to listen to. Thank you very much.

[@darlenericotta7550]

Thank you! I can watch and learn from you better than the constant phone calls I have been getting! ,

[@tonyreddy7535]

You do an excellent job of making Medicare complexity understandable

[@jimbetzing3587]

Thanks Mathew! The menu was quite helpful! We really appreciate everything you do!

[@amg557]

Fantastic video - extremely helpful. Government regulations are SOOOO confusing, and you make it simple. MANY thanks!

[@christineparker3805]

Yes!! I feel so much better 😊 Thank you Matthew ❤

[@paulhafner9781]

Very Useful Matt. Thank you for your informative educational videos.

[@ShupaDE]

So glad to find you. Your explanations are clear and concise and help overcome some of the angst of working with Medicare.

[@hadassahsoddsandends]

Helpful? Are you kidding? I have been running around like a wet chicken trying to find this stuff. THANK-YOU! Thank-you! Thank-you!

[@g.mariannequast5660]

Thank you for your videos. I like the way you present everything I a way I could understand. Most of all, listen, I can listen to your video at a pace so I can understand and since you are not selling the insurance to me, I CAN TRUST YOU with what you are telling me

[@betsydettloff6674]

Thank you, Matthew. Your webinars and your staff are always very helpful. I trust you and them to educate me and help me make wise choices. Not going anywhere else!

[@MedigapSeminars]

you are welcome Betsy

[@christineparker3805]

​@@MedigapSeminars I will only deal with you because I have gotten a understanding that I couldn't get anywhere else. Thank you so much ❤🙏🏿 I will be 65 November 22 2023. I prayed & I believe God sent me to your video. Thank You Jesus 🙏🏿

[@georgemilanez8033]

Extremely informative, essential learning for the uninitiated!!!

[@dghberkley]

Thank you for your videos. I find them interesting and informative. I particularly like that you stay politically neutral by presenting the facts and letting your viewers make their own selections. It’s a shame that medical coverage has become so convoluted and confusing, particularly for those who are technologically adverse.

[@karengranger1631]

I absolutely agree with these comments above. How is an aging population supposed to keep up with this? Not everyone has a willing/capable friend/relative to help figure this all out. Thank you, for helping us! ❤

[@alanabunch8881]

Thank you so much! You are thorough and honest. Many are not. They may scan over things and it leaves one feeling not completely informed.

[@RL-170]

Thank you for the great information on part D. You explain it simple and understandable. Thank you again. Will be looking at the web site.

[@navionpa3674]

Thanks, much needed information, given in a clear and understandable format. Have passed this channel along to friends. Additionally the agent contacted was great.

[@housesOTR]

One thing to keep in mind. The same drug cost may be drastically different if you use a capsule vs. a tablet. Usually they are the same drug. We had the doctor change some of these which saved us a lot of money.

[@MedigapSeminars]

Sometimes medicare will cover the tablet and not the capsule, or vis versa.

[@leeatomassoni3901]

Thank you for this video. Very clearly explained. The charts/info-graphics are easy to understand.

[@davebones6120]

Thank you for preparing. You have made Part D understandable. I have looked since August for this information.

[@kimr3755]

So very helpful. You make it easier to understand and warn about potential mistakes.

[@gloriaescano2417]

What I would like to know is a comparison of co-pay by prescription of the different plans. It could also show which plan cost the cheapest co-pay by prescription. Just hoping there’s one of this kind of 25:14 comparison. Just subscribed because it’s a great video information. Thank you very much.

[@debbieloter9562]

Excellent video! I am always learning and you are a great instructor!

[@danawoods3183]

Very helpful. Thank you. I watch KZbin on my phone. Menu would be helpful at times.

[@JohnHeck-k6e]

One of the things that is missing in your Advantage plan videos is an MSA. May want to include that in the future. This comment applies to the video that discusses the types of plans not the part D video.

[@jaye8872]

This is the best video I have seen on medicare . You answer the most anticipated questions. Thank you.

[@MedigapSeminars]
