    Very good information. Just remember you buy insurance based on the future you not the present healthy you. I retired in 2019, healthy and took Traditional Medicare with Plan G. In Missouri this year in 2022 the monthly rate is $155.68 I didn't go to a doctor, no prescriptions, felt great. Last year in 2021 after a fall with broken femur, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer. I'm so glad I have good coverage with this plan! No co-pays nothing. Just the deductible from Part B and then everything is paid for. My prognosis is good but will be lengthy so my insurance decision at retirement was a good one. I don't have to worry about depleting my life savings or my house! Buy Plan G!

But u must apply for this help after you receive your Medicare card with your medicare #. Call Medicaid office prior to signing up for Medicare to find out what u must do to get help.

    I took my social when I could. I kept working. I took the amount of my SS and put it into a non taxed retirement plan that made additional money in the market and had contributions by my workplace. It boosted my retirement nest money and did not raise my taxes. It would take years of ss checks to make up the difference in my gains which allowed me to retire earlier. Remember, when a spouse dies, you get to take the larger spousal ss check. Also no guarantees on your life span. Every one has to determine for their self.

    Straightforward and helpful. Also frightening due to its complexity. I need to be sure I understand the Medicare Supplement route: Original Medicare (Parts A & B) + Medicare Supplement + Part D + Dental + Vision. Monthly Costs (Based on Averages in Michigan): Part A = $0.00, Part B - $170.10 (plus IRMA if applicable), Medicare Supplement = $150.00, Part D = $40, Dental = $30, Vision = $25.00 = $410.10/month = $4,921.20/annual And, this does not include the deductibles, coverage limits, out-of-pocket, and excuse the cynicism, other hidden fees and costs. Are these estimates in the ballpark? If so, why would anybody take this route over Medicare Advantage?

    You have the money about right if you include dental and vision. The only deductible or copay you will have is the $233 annual Part B deductible. The coverage is very good. Consider the Part C Medicare Advantage route. Many have zero premium and they include dental, vision, and drugs. With that, you will have copayments and deductibles and still pay the $171 for Part B

    Thanks Hans for the quick reply on my last post👍🏻👍🏻 We live in Massachusetts and will be going with BC/BS using their Part G plan. We have gone to 2 of their seminars already. Once back in 2013 when my Wife went on SSDI age of 53 because of medical reasons. She also got to sign up for Medicaid and we took Part A but suspended Part B because she is on my plan at work. I already did same at 65 a few years ago ( I am 67 1/2 now ) and sort of planning to work to 70 ( like you ). Actually have 2 questions in this post. First one is … from going to the BC/BS seminars I got the understanding that age or being married or not DOES NOT effect the monthly price of say the BC/BS Core plan. From what I read … here in MA … the prices are fixed ? For instance right now it is $107.88 no matter what ? Second question … now this one is a tuff one … when I turn 70 and start collecting … my Wife will only be 64 but she is collecting SSDI. I was told way back when ( don’t remember who but it may have been the Lawyer handling her SSDI case ) that when she hits her Full Retirement Age the SSDI turns into regular SS and she still will get the SAME amount. My question is … could she file for half my amount if it was larger ? If so … would the they use the amount I would have got at 66 ( my FRA ) or would they use my age 70 when I do retire amount ? …. Thanks again … I am going to check out your other videos here. Happy that this one came across my KZread feed to watch 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    I’m in a quandary! I’m 64 , as of last week....thought I was still covered by mediCAL because they said I automatically got that from SDA whether I wanted it or not....then I had kidney stones last month, bam! Ambulance and extended ER VISIT...I didn’t even pick up the prescription for the pain, because I didn’t know I wasnt covered...my disability is memory due to grand mail seizure 10 yrs before I even was forced to apply.....State disability....I was 25 dollars short of the Regular disability...I never once had an explanation of anything! Plus, I’m in a County that has been taken advantage of ....they dump the inmates without a home County right here...the poorest county in Calif.....due to what I’ve witnessed....blatantly flaunted County corruption...even the elections official quickly resigned19 yrs and attaining the top pay, all of the Softwares and analytics were being outsourced! That happened in 2010... I called it corruption building...it was too fishy...always too fishy when the ?Demons are in office! Lol sorry! I have to figure out how much I can even afford...I just started collecting mySoc Sec. 2 months ago .. and I get some of my ex’s Retirement. ..total is 1900 to 2100 a month ...and a gallon of gas is over $6/gal! I was in a major ?Wildfire that wiped my home off he map, and all past paperwork was destroyed ! I didn’t realize that the state worker I already had serious problems with, purposely had me canc Elle’s, even lied and said I never attended tthe appointments she set up....3 counties were telling me I had the same appointment the same day at different times. Well I never got he mail...my entire community was obliterated....the Valley Fire, S pt 12 2015. We weren’t allowed back for over 2 months!...it was devastating and was the #3 worst disaster in .cali history at the time....more corruption ...but, I never got any hearing or a chance to report ...basically what I didn’t know, and had every phone call I made to the worker was not returned...,she said “you’re no longer MY problem.” That was the final message I received...and she hung up.

    Good info. My situation was somewhat unusual. My wife born before 1955 and I born 7 years later than she took advantage of the restricted claim loophole. I filed at 62 so she could file a restricted claim on my benefits until she reached 70 and then switched to her maxed out benefits. But she passed at 69 1/2. I then filed as a surviving spouse to get her benefits. Not many people talk about "restricted claims"

    Very good video and very informative but I do have a question. I am unders FERS and past my FRA of 66 and still covered under FEHB. My question is I plan to retire in December 2022 and want my Social Security benefits to start on January 1, 2023 meaning that hopefully, I will get my first check in February 2023. I plan to take my FEHB into retirement and want to also have Medicare. Since I have 8 months after retirement to sign up for medicare and want to start getting my Social Security benefits in January 2023. Can I defer my medicare payments for 8 months or will the payment come off my social security in January or February 2023?

    I just read up on Medicare part A and it looks like there are Medicare part A deductibles of around $1600 that reset every 60 days for hospitalization. At this time with kaiser FEHB I don't have any big deductibles ($50 to $100) and only small co-pays($15). Like most people I don't have a fat savings account to pull deductibles from. So it looks more and more that I would be better off not using Medicare A and I don't need part B because my Kaiser covers everything except dental. The other concern I have is if Kaiser and Medicare disagree on a procedure that I can get now would leave me out in the cold and/or having to pay for something that is currently covered.

    So, what if you had coverage from the V.A. and social security suggested that you only get part A? My husband did that and they said if he gets part B, he will get fined. Except for the fact that he does not have any kind of dental or vision, he does not pay any out-of-pocket costs for medical appts or hospitalization. How would he add dental and vision then?

Does your office offer any add-on services when working with you? For example, some of your videos speak directly to retirement and tax planning, and that's something I would be interested in learning more about. If there are fees for that, I'd like to know, in broad terms, what that might look like.

    This was so helpful and confirmed what I had hear about creditable coverage and HSAs. The question I have, not sure who has the right answer, is this: I've heard and read about numerous down sides and red flags about these somewhat new advantage plans. The insurance companies dictate when, where and how long based on AI algorithms. In other words, everyone in these plans better be in the same cookie cutter. Otherwise, you may be denied coverage or forced to leave a hospital because what you need is outside their algorithms. Ugh! Insurance companies, they look for ways to deny coverage over concerns of what an individual patient needs. I hope when I go off group insurance, I can afford staying the heck away from advantage plans.
