When you sign up for Medicare, you have a choice of Traditional/Original, Medicare or "Medicare Advantage", which is technically not Medicare and is instead a private health insurance company caring for you on their behalf, like a surrogate. The plans are Uber-restrictive and filled with hidden costs that many people don't recognize until it's too late. They often offer "zero dollar premiums" to lure folks in, then you might have trouble getting back into regular Medicare. Join Alexandra "Al" Eidenberg from The Insurance People, and me to hear all of the details.Guest(s): Alexandra (Al) Eidenberg, President and Founder of The Insurance PeopleKey Terms: noneReferences: The Insurance People homepage: www.theinsurancepeople.comHow to sign up for Medicare: https://www.medicare.gov/basics/get-started-with-medicare/sign-up/how-do-i-sign-up-for-medicarePodcast website: www.drpatientpodcast.comPodcast email, become a guest: [email protected]
