Ep.836 - Would-be client wonders if High Deductible supplement will burden his family!
Manage episode 497326692 series 2652782
Medicare Advantage Minute announces 2019 statistics:
17% of MA claims were denied in that year but of those claims that were appealed, 57% were ultimately paid.
In the "Your Medicare Benefits 2025" segment we learn how Medicare is likely to cover Monoclonal Antibodies when they are used for the treatment of early onset Alzheimer's disease. "Early onset" is described as symptoms appearing before age 65.
Humana subsidiary CenterWell announced the purchase of bankrupt firm The Villages Health. Apparently they declared bankruptcy after discovering they owed hundreds of millions to Medicare.
How does this sort of thing sneak up on a company?
Finally, as alluded to in the headline of this episode, there was speculation about what might happen if a person insured by a High Deductible Medicare supplement. Would the family members tasked with paying the bills be burdened by extra accounting and check-writing duties in the event of a long period of disability?
My answer? Unequivocally no!
