Get Help To Choose The Best Medicare Insurance Plan For You

The author and his wife have enlisted the help of a free consultant to guide them until Medicare’s December 7th deadline.

My wife and I have been covered by traditional Medicare since we each turned 65. In addition, we have had a secondary insurance plan that was heavily subsidized by my wife’s former employer. Similar to a supplemental plan, it mostly covered what Medicare did not fully pay for. And the amount we paid for the premium was significantly less than what we would have paid for a supplemental plan because of the subsidy from her former company.

Times have changed, our premium rose significantly, and now it would be cheaper for us to get a supplemental plan instead of the secondary insurance from my wife’s former employer. Interestingly, the less expensive supplemental plan would actually provide better coverage for less money.
