Medicare Advantage is often free or offers a low monthly co-pay but will have some out-of-pocket and other expenses making the potential overall cost for Medicare Advantage sometimes higher than if you had chosen a better game plan taking into considerations several conditions like quality of health, utilization, where you live, what Medicare insurance company plan you pick and many other factors.
Medicare insurance companies
Between Medicare Advantage and Medigap plans there are over 150 insurance companies that offer insurance to help those on Medicare part A and Medicare part B. It is wise for you to know some critical times regarding enrollment period and qualifications. If you do not meet the required time lines, you could potentially be required to be underwritten. Underwriting means you will have to qualify based on your current health, and preexisting conditions will be a factor. This could keep you from qualifying for Medicare supplemental insurance plan, or force you to take a plan that is not really your top choice.
Regenerative medicine doctors have the opportunity, in some instances, to do well care, or provide services outside of those listed as required by many other plans. This is because they are an ASO, or a provider who works directly with the insurance company to help reduce overall costs, while providing wellness and health care benefits that will hopefully keep clients healthier in the long run.
