Medicare Advantage Plans Need More Oversight; Less Overpayment!

Do you dream of bariatric surgery? Wonder whether Medicare will pay for it? Apparently it depends on the extent of your obesity. We pay a visit to “Your Medicare Benefits 2024” to find out.

ACCENDO, an Aetna subsidiary providing Medicare advantage plans, appears to be drastically reducing the number of states in which it will do business in 2025. What might the consequences be?

One client needs Evenity injections for a year. Her thought is that she will be writing big cost-sharing checks due to her Plan HDG. My thought is that her savings over the past few years, if stashed away, will help to defray this extra expense.

Finally, another client discovers that he under-reported income which might have resulted in a modestly larger IRMAA penalty. He wonders if it would be best to turn himself in to the IRS or should he wait for them to hunt him down like the cur that he is.?

Douglas B. Jones Author: Medicare for the Lazy Man

Doug Jones burst forth from Oklahoma like a prairie tornado, born of an Omaha Beach victor and the shortest-serving Miss Oklahoma in history. He was such an accomplished student that nine years of undergrad studies eventually earned him a BA degree from the University of Arizona.
Having been branded at birth with the John Hancock Signature, he became the third generation of a life insurance dynasty founded in 1920. Eventually, a genuine dedication to health insurance conferred black sheep status, causing him to strike out on his own.
Decades later, friends began to pester him about Medicare, angling for free advice. After a period of deep contemplation and reflection, Doug arrived at conclusions and formed some opinions that place him squarely at odds with many other Medicare experts.
Thus was born Medicare for the Lazy Man!
