Medicare is a life event everyone will face but, for many, it’s like needing a root canal. The entire subject is overwhelming, complex, even depressing. Seniors just want someone to tell them what to do...

Then, they turn on the TV and "those commercials" promise "all the benefits they deserve," like meals, transportation, and a homecare aide. Plus, they won't have to pay monthly premiums, deductible, or copayments. They can even "up to $144 dollars added to their Social Security check!" It's so easy... "Just call the phone number on the screen!"

Is it any wonder people make so many costly Medicare mistakes? Seniors today don't learn about their Medicare options. They are simply sold something. Medicare Advantage can be a viable option, but beneficiaries must understand how these plans work — the benefits, costs, and rules — before calling the number on the screen.

As a financial professional, CLIENTS NEED YOUR HELP.

Through this session, you'll learn simple ways to help your clients avoid the most common and costly mistakes. Best of all, helping your clients with Medicare is one of the most prodound ways to earn referrals, improve client relationships, and grow your business.

 

Session Objectives:

  • The facts behind the “extra benefits you deserve,” including the Medicare Giveback Benefit and daily maintenance benefits
  • The costs and out-of-pocket maximum that come with the benefits everyone needs
  • Why “no premium, no deductible, and no copayment” does not equal free
  • Medicare Advantage coverage rules (networks, referrals, and prior authorization)
  • Original Medicare coverage rules, benefits, and costs compared to Medicare Advantage
  • The impact, through real-life examples, of choosing a Medicare plan based simply on the commercials
  • If, when, and how beneficiaries can drop Medicare Advantage plans
  • Tips for helping your clients make smart Medicare choices, and
  • How having a Medicare conversation with your clients can add value to your business.
