Ep. 840 - SSA Medicare application processing is apparently being performed by turtles!

from Medicare For The Lazy Man Podcast · host Douglas B. Jones, CLU, RHU with Randy Carson of C2C Consulting

In the Medicare Advantage Minute we hear even more detail about the difficulties United Healthcare seems to be mired in. The Department of Justice is investigating charges of Medicare fraud & anti-trust violations.  So what else is new? Your Medicare Benefits 2025: Obesity Behavioral Therapy and how Medicare might cover that if you needed it. Soon-to-be-client Mary is wondering what action she should take to find out where her Part B Medicare application is hung up. Fortunately, Mary is an overachiever who has submitted her application early enough before her deadline that there is unlikely to be a troubling delay. That is not true for many other applicants! "Big Fan Terry" checks in to report that his choice of a High Deductible Plan G worked out great. His Medical treatment has resulted in only a small out-of-pocket expense and his recent 8%rate increase amounted to a frightening $4 per month! Finally, Stalker Susie has promised to try out the Kindle version of  "Medicare Drug Plans; A Simple D-I-Y Guide" and report back on how useful it was in her search for the "best" (cheapest) Part D drug plan.
