IRMAA: What is it and Why Does it Matter?
This is by far the most comprehensive description of dsnp. Thank you!!
Hi, i have medicare and medicare advantage program from Clover Health. I applied for medicade as well and still pending. If Inget approved what would be the best program to get some extra money as subsidy because mys ss benefit is quite low
Hello, could you make a video of how HiCap works in the state of California please and thank you. Another question, do you think HiCap can help pay for Medicare Part B?
The one stage of Insurance these companies all fail on is: Dual plan on appeal.
I was on this plan and did not even know! 😥smh i kept wondering why my doctor bills were fully paid for awhile.. but i missed out on ALL the other good stuff!!! I knew i had medicare..had it for years...but did not know about the medicaid till i asked my Financial Counselor at the hospital and she called up medicaid...and they told her i was covered ....for EVERYTHING!... But now i need to renew soon.. and now i am getting the run- around! 😠😠😠 smh
thanks for the content. I did not hear you say that you took the NABIP. ???
Only AHIP for me as I write a lot of Aetna and Wellcare. If both of those carriers allow NABIP, then I could consider it.
Aetna offers a work around: Aetna cert training $0,
Wellcare you can take NABIP.
If you switch to an Advantage Plan with Tricare for Life, can you go back to original MEDICARE during the Annual Open Enrollment period? I assume their would not be any underwriting as is in the case as those with a supplemental plan.
Hi, i am 67y old man who has only Medicare Plan A. Since I lived outside of US untill recently did not apply for Plan B. Since my SS benefit is very low am I eligible for Mecidaid? Also do I need to apply and enroll in Plan B first then apply for Medicade. Thanks
Hey there, depending on what state you live in, the requirements can be slightly different for Medicaid. I think you would need to apply for both Part B and Part D in order to be potentially eligible for Medicaid. There are two types of Medicaid coverage you would potentially eligible for. First, there is full coverage, which would be though Medicaid for the Aged, Blind, or Disabled (also known as ABD Medicaid). You would get full medical coverage through Medicaid. Depending on the state, they might require you to sign up with an insurance company plan (MCO). Second, there is partial Medicaid coverage, also known as Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs). These provide coverage of premiums for Part A and B, as well as co-insurances, deductibles, co-pays. There are usually three levels of MSPs: QMB, SLMB, and QI. QMB covers Part A and B premiums, deductibles, co-insurances, and co-pays. SLMB and QI only cover Part B premiums. Medicaid essentially pays Medicare for these costs. You may also be eligible for LIS/Extra Help for Part D. Part D premiums are covered but you would still have co-pays on prescription drugs, although they likely wouldn't be more than $12/drug in 2024. If you are eligible for an MSP, you are eligible for LIS/Extra Help. The only case in which you would need to apply for LIS/Extra Help is if you are on both Original Medicare and Medicaid, or if your Medicare Advantage plan doesn't cover Part D. Keep in mind that you need to meet the income and resource/asset level requirements for Medicaid, whether it's ABD Medicaid or MSPs. These requirements can be different from state to state. ABD Medicaid often has a resource limit of $2000 for an individual or $3000 for a couple. MSPs have a resource requirement of almost $9,500 for an individual and $14,500 for a couple, but Massachusetts has recently done away with this resource requirement for MSPs. Also, there are significant exclusions for real and personal property regarding resource/assets requirements for both full coverage Medicaid and partial coverage (MSPs) (e.g. a home, one car, personal effects, home goods, etc.) If you have further questions, I'm happy to help.
Thx a bunch
This video is so helpful and informative. Please keep these videos coming. So if a beneficiary just changed their plan in January and if they needed to changed it again in April and then July they could for a total of 3 times that year?
Also does it means if someone gets an SSI check that they will automatically get FBDE?
Most likely, yes. It depends on the state, though. 8 states have chosen the 209(b) option related to the Social Security Act amendments in 1972. This option allows them to implement their own eligibility criteria for Medicaid rather than using the SSI criteria. Virginia, for example, has a more restrictive set of criteria for real property than SSI when counting resources. As a result, folks on SSI in Virginia have to apply for Medicaid and be determined to be eligible for Medicaid. IF these individuals in SSI in Virginia are determined to be eligible for Medicaid, then they will be fully eligible. The other 7 states that implement their own eligibility criteria are: Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Dakota. When it comes to income requirements for Medicaid, most, if not all, states use the SSI criteria. So if they still receive SSI, then they will qualify for full medicaid coverage.
Thanks very much for this helpful overview.
Medical supplies(urological and incontinence supplies) are severely cut back by d-snp plans especially in California.
Medicare and Medicaid here.In my state I don’t have to have a advantage plan!Any doctor I want.😊.
I am in that position. Great info. Thanks.
on inbound calls, are they to be on the 48hrs or is that considered a walk-ins?
Quick question- why would we mention the network if the advantage plans have PPO? I’m a new agent and need to know please
Not all providers are willing to bill an insurance company they aren't contracted with, so the plan may be fine with the client going to an out of network provider, but maybe the provider isn't.
So glad I found this video, first year doing AEP and this cleared up a lot for me!!
Hi am am new agent and I am terrified to do something wrong. What if a client calls and leaves a message. Would that still be compatible a walk in if I returned their call the same day?
Great timeline of how to, and planning ahead,well done.
Planning is key! Thanks for the tips!
Very helpful series. Thanks Meena and the team at MCC Brokerage.
Awesome info. Do you know whether the Sunfire system able to forward calls to our cell phones yet?
At this time, it is still not a capability. We recommend agents either call their client, then 3-way in the Sunfire number or vice versa with their cell phones.
Great series, great tips. Lets get organized!
Super helpful info and tips
Great Tips as usual, Thank you so much!
Thank you, Meena! These tips have been great!
Perfect tips to put in a monthly Calendar ,things to do list, for every year your in business. Well done. Keep your focus and sanity .
Great information and ideas!
Awesome, thanks for pulling these together!
Another great set of tips! Thanks for sharing!
Great tips Meena! Thank you for the encouragement and ideas for getting and keeping organized.
Take aways, plan ahead, organize, manage your business or you business will manage you. Great Video ,fantastic wisdom for any and all agents.
Early prep is the key! Thanks again, Meena!
Great tips! Now is the time to get organized.
As a broker, this is going to affect my wallet during AEP. But I get it. The problem is the marketing that has been involved and how call centers are now taking over the industry. New hires who know how to sell, but not sure of the ramifications, and the consumer is oblivious both willingly or just sleighted. This new rule is specifically targeting these call centers, when the commercials are rolling 24/7. If they're on your book of business, and/or a scope was made within 12 months, either verbally, digitally, or with paper, you can enroll them without that 48 hour cool down. For new business, I.e. someone's sees the commercial, they call in, that's where it applies.
Hopefully all carriers will accept NABIP next year
Good information Meena. Kortney, I am with you. Curious as to what is in NABIP
Interesting. I think I'll take both to compare the content & level of difficulty. Anyone else?
That's one positive on the scope for 12 months.
Great news! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Meena once again for always keeping us up to date. Good news on inbound calls. And you're right an increase is an increase 🙂
Well explained!
super helpful update - thank you!
Thank you for the update!!!
A bit less than years prior, but in 2015, there was actually a negative impact to the commissions, so always find the positive!
Thanks for the updates and reminders!
Great update & good news on incoming calls!
Great information to keep everyone current on changes!
These updates are very helpful! Thank you!
