#Understanding Medicare Advantage Plans (PDF) #12026
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!

- HMO - Narrow Networks?
- Do I just sign up with a Medicare Advantage Company and automatically get * Parts A & B or do I have to get those from Medicare.Gov * VIDEO
- Get Quotes, Full Information and Enroll
- MANDATED wording!: ‘‘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.)
How do I fill out Section 6. b. on the REDETERMINATION FOR MEDI-CAL BENEFICIARIES
(LONG-TERM CARE IN OWN MFBU) MC 262, namely, “Expenses on property: $_____________?”
Is this a home that you live in or rent out?
Are you able to answer the questions on expenses for Insurance, taxes & utilities?
This form was last revised over 10 years ago. It looks to me like I would just draw a line through it and answer the questions for the more specific expenses.
See our web page on rental properties.
My sister is on disability (stroke) and she lives with me. Am I a “family member” as stated on the form?
I just don’t understand why they would need information about my insurance, etc. Other than the fact that
I do take care of her, I am not legally responsible for her, so I should not have to answer any personal questions about myself. Correct?
