Insurance Companies get a fee from the Federal Government, when you enroll in an MAPD plan.  MAPD Plans must cover all A & B services ^Medicare.Gov *

That's why the premium is very low or ZERO!

• MANDATED wording!:  ^{Think Advisor} * ‘‘We do not offer every plan available in your area. Any information we provide is limited to those plans we do offer in your area.  Please contact Medicare.gov or 1–800–MEDICARE to get information on all of your options.’’
•        We disagree with the above wording, as we can use the same tools on Medicare.gov as they do!
• FYI  a 4.27.2022 HHS Office of the Inspector General report found that MAPD plans denied 13% of prior authorizations that would have been covered under original Medicare (Conversely, Medi Gap, just follows what Medicare pays.)
• 88% of MAPD enrollees are happy

• MAPD plans often include Dental &  Part D - Rx Prescriptions   and often have NO premiums!  How is that possible? The Federal Government pays them around $700/month to handle your medical care.  You must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium of about $170/month.  It's best to apply when you turn 65 for the supplement plans or advantage plans, as that's the main "Open Enrollment" period, guaranteed issue for any plan. 

• Medicare Advantage Plans also have an annual open enrollment now known as AEP Annual Election Period October 7 to December 15th.

• Additional Coverage is important as Medical Bills are increasing Seniors Credit Card Debt or leading to possible bankruptcy?
