MEDICARE AND THE FAMILY

Introducing the Medicare Coach  Program:

Medicare affects the lives of all family members and not just those eligible to join at age 65.

The Medicare Coach program is designed to take the stress out of your life when you are faced with Medicare decisions but don’t know what to do.  When you deal with Medicare, you fall into one of three categories.  The caregiver, the newly eligible, and those already enrolled.

The caregiver is an age 40-60 adult caring for an aging parent or loved one receving Medicare benefits. The caregiver monitors doctor appointments, prescription doses, billing, and often times does so under severe pressure not knowing how Medicare works.

An age 43 female client told me, “This was the single most stressful thing in dealing with mom and dad.  I actually still get stirring in my stomach when I think about it.  Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security are all mixed into one bureaucratic mess.  One hand does not know what the other hand is doing.”

If this ever happens to you, The Medicare Coach will be there to guide you through the entire process during a time when you are in desperate need of help but don’t know who to call.

The newly eligible is someone age 64 and within a year of being able to enroll.  The Medicare Coach offers advice, designs the best plan, completes forms, and insures that all necessary requirements are met, so the new member is properly enrolled.

The Coach program also assists those already enrolled and receiving benefits.  Every November-December, we review your Medicare supplement insurance coverage, your Part D prescription coverage, and prescriptions to make sure you are aware of generic cost saving medications.  This annual review will identify cost savings in all aspects of your program including premium savings with high deductible plans.
