Ep. 791 - CORRECTION: SWHR and BC/BS of Texas have kissed and made up!

Medicare Advantage Minute: The Feds propose "health equity" mandates that will address a couple of the worst elements of MA plans...for poor people only!

What about all of the non-poor victims of Medicare Advantage plans?

In the "Your Medicare Benefits 2024" we learn all about kidney dialysis for children. These victims of ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease) are eligible for Medicare coverage in spite of their youth due to a special clause in the Medicare regulations.

New clients are disappointed to hear the wife's primary care physician (or the staff) assert that the practice will not accept patients covered by supplement plans. In the opinion of one expert, there is a misunderstanding or possibly a deliberate attempt to discourage patients with supplement plans. If there is an interesting explanation to this quandary, it will be presented in the future.

Client Howard expresses concern about the future of Medicare supplement in light of recent political events. I expressed confidence that there will be a secure future for the best coverage available in the Medicare-verse.

Finally, a situation that had been brewing for some time came to a head: a large chain of hospitals & doctors failed to renew their contract with BC/BS of Texas.    On the 7th of April they patched things up and renewed their vows.
