We’ve been anxiously waiting for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to announce their numbers for 2016, and they finally did. If you’re already on Medicare, here are the parts that will affect you.
Helen was 87 years old, and her Medicare Supplement premiums had gone up to $256 per month. She felt this was too high, and wanted a way to pay less. She and her son sat down with Tom Gallion to discuss her options.
When Richard signed up for Medicare Supplement insurance he had recently been treated for cancer. He had chosen a Plan N with Blue Cross Blue Shield and it was costing him $127/month. Laura helped him get better coverage and lowered his premium.
Jan had Medicare Supplement insurance through BCBS. She was treated for breast cancer four years ago, and really wanted lower premiums...
D.R. Roberts was having Sunday brunch with friends when the topic of Medicare Supplement insurance came up. Two of his friends (husband & wife) had been insured with Blue Cross/Blue Shield since going on Medicare. The wife was 68 and the husband was 69. The combined premium for the two of them was $1,047 per quarter, and they were hoping to find less expensive coverage.
