Ep. 820 - TRIBUTE TO MASSACHUSETTS (with a single-fingered salute to BC/BS MASS)!

We started out with the Medicare Advantage Minute during which we learned that the "Final Rule" for MA and Part D drug plans for 2026 has been published.

Learn 14 (or fewer) exciting things about what the future holds for those plans.

In the "Your Medicare Benefits 2025" segment we learn exactly how Medicare would cover Kidney Disease Education. This is an awkward way of saying that Medicare will pay to educate people about the ravages of Kidney Disease.

Did you know that Massachusetts is one of only three states that is allowed to design their own Medicare supplement plans? Well, they did a really bad job of it and they don't seem to care at all.

Finally, when it comes to GLP-1 drugs fight diabetes and also happen to promote weight loss, they may not be as wonderful as hoped. Six out of 10 patients stop taking these drugs before seeing meaningful results and many health insurance companies have stopped covering them.
