Ep 797 - MA plans brag about their free extras; studies show those freebies often go unused

In Medicare Advantage Minute: we learn about a prestigious study conducted in Boston. The results showed that patients with MA have out-of-pocket expenses that are very close to those with Medicare supplement coverage, in spite of all the crowing about additional free benefits.

In the "Your Medicare Benefits 2024" segment we learn how Medicare covers "enteral" nutrition supplies and equipment.

Unfortunately, we never hear a definition of the term "enteral"!

In response to a valued client, I share my dissection of the cost advantage of HDG over Plan G. This is an esoteric concept with tangible, real world monetary profits to be enjoyed no matter how much or how little medical treatment is needed.

New client Mark wrote an Amazon review of the 2025 edition of MLM. He was surprised to fine out that Amazon rules forbid carrying reviews forward from the prior year's edition.

Finally, I stretch Randy's brain with another contest: identify the best and worst states in which to work from home. Hint: unless you have an outdoor swimming pool, your location is not considered to be among the preferred work-at-home sites.
