Ep. 184 - How does one enroll in Part B without frightening the SSA twerps?
Tuesday May 18, 2021
Tuesday May 18, 2021
Thanks to our favorite interrogator Steve, I get to read very specific instructions about the best way to communicate with the Feds about enrolling in Part B without endangering their oh so delicate health.
How about withdrawing from Part B while temporarily joining an employer group insurance plan? That process is a little more murky.

Ep. 181 - A blissful May- December marriage emerges from the MLM Mailbag!
Tuesday May 11, 2021
Tuesday May 11, 2021
Among the take-aways is that we are all separate individuals in the Medicare world. Husbands and wives may find themselves with different supplement plans from different companies.
However, watch out for the salesman who insists that you buy a drug plan from your Medicare Supplement insurance company. Insist on a search for the least expensive plan available consistent with your drugs and stores.

Ep. 180 - Anatomy of a Medicare high value plan (our new name for Plan HDG)!
Sunday May 09, 2021
Sunday May 09, 2021
This can't be said too often: High Deductible Plan G (HDG) is a terrific value for all but the most chronically ill Medicare participants.
Unless there is a year of unusually large Medical bills, the premium cost is very low and offers substantial savings over the cost of regular Plan G.
