Thanks to the Abt Insurance Agency, its staff, and especially Jake Wombacker, I was able to move from an Advantage plan to a Medical Supplement plan. Stephanie’s videos are wonderful, and the advice of the agents who work here is very useful. They do not push but they guide, and they know what they are talking about.
Very late on taking action, but appreciate info on "no underwriting if you receive a letter of termination of your Medicare Advantage Plan". Thank You for your info!
This is great information! I cannot find the link that you say will help us filter though the Medicare Advantage plans at 2:59 Can you please provide the link? Thank you 🙂
My parents will be losing their Scott and White MA plan they’ve had for almost 20 years. They’ve loved their plan but we just moved them to a mere 1.5 miles outside of a coverage area. They’re in Travis County now and S&W doesn’t write MA plans in Travis. I left a message at your office Friday afternoon. We need help figuring out what plan to get for them now.
@@thecatniplife we can definitely help! If you called later on Friday afternoon then we should get back to you by Monday! You can also email us at stephanie@abtinsuranceagency.com
Captal blue complete has good dental and vision and low copay as 15.00 and 120.00 every 3 months for otc where you can use it at retail store like walmart.
Stephanie, can you tell us WHY Humana and Aetna are dropping some Medicare Advantage plans? Were they too costly? What's different about the Advantage plans Humana and Aetna are NOT canceling??
Both companies cite dropping of states and lowering benefits based on reimbursement payments. I live in NM which is a state where they are lowering benefits. If you have any questions, contact the Company directly. I was able to get a "new" plan that with a little work of the insurance specialist that gets me really close to what I had in 2024. The co-pay for some who use Specialist (cardiologists, pain management specialists etc.) for ME, were increased from $30 to $50 in 2025. I haven't heard the cost of Medicare A and B as of yet.
Insurance companies pull out of certain areas when they're not making enough profit. Also, Medicare doesn't always renew their contract, for various reasons.
Aetna medicare value plus ppo advantage plan has 5000.00 dental and 300.00 for vision. And capital blue complete ppo has a good vision and dental and low copays as 15.00 for dr.
Just so I know that I'm understanding and to be clear, a "Medigap" plan will have a fee ON TOP of Part B and one will still have to pay additional for a standalone Part D plan? If I am understanding correctly, many seniors (SS) or disabled (SSDI), that receive ONLY SS income (Me) this is completely unaffordable. I think I'm understanding it correctly???
So you should start getting stuff in your mail about your parts a and b or call your local socia security office 3 months before your birthday & 3 months after no later!

Does the “20 employee” rule of my employer include both part time and full time employees, or just full time employees with insurance benefits?

@alejandrovargas5512 is there any advantage to doing it 3 months before?
You can start now!
