I am looking at Part D plans available for my area.
The premiums vary widely. Express Scripts charges $22 a month for Part D
while Blue Shield would charge $82 a month (!). I don’t want to pay $ 82. That’s alot.
What is your opinion of Express Scripts ? They got 4 stars out of 5 in the ratings.
What about other companies ?
Thanks for your advice.
How to shop all Part D Rx plans from ALL companies
The compensation that agents get for Part D is virtually nothing. I don’t know how CMS or the Insurance Companies expect us to eat and be able to study all the complex crazy rules they have. I do grant that the federal government is paying hugh subsidies to support the program. Learn More ===> Wikipedia
I don’t have an opinion on Express Scripts… There are dozens of companies writing Part D. If you want my expertise on something I’m not properly compensated for, you need to purchase a plan that I represent, like Blue Cross, Shield or AARP. I have the contacts there, and some familarity with their programs and policy. Here’s 10 reasons why you should use Steve Shorr Insurance, rather than wait on hold for hours with CMS, Medicare, direct with the Insurance Company, etc.
I did recently get a bulletin from Blue Shield that they were buying Express Scripts? and that I would be able to sell that plan without having to do hours to qualify during the annual AHIP circus. I call it a circus as we only get power points and no reference material. I feel it’s an insult.
If you want “advice” I need to see the print out from Medicare.gov How can I give advice when I have no idea what Rx you might be taking?
SO MY RATE GOES UP 50%????
NOT THE COST [Co-Pays] OF DRUGS THE COST OF THE PREMIUM FROM $55 TO $82 IN ONE JUMP 50% INCREASE !!!!
WHY THE 50% INCREASE
50% INCREASE IN THE RATES?????

Insurance companies are mandated to pay a certain percent of the premiums in claims so Blue Shield must’ve had a heck of a large amount of claims otherwise they have to give you back the excess premium and rebates

Use the Blue Shield Comparison Tool – probably the BEST as you have someone to argue with, if claims aren’t paid as projected. See our affiliate link to Blue Shield’s Medicare site above, no extra charge for our services.
