Medicare Advantage or Medicare Supplement, which is better?

Medicare Advantage or Medicare Supplement, which is better? 

They are both good, there is no wrong answer.

Summary of Medicare Advantage Plan:
  • Low monthly premium
  • HMO/PPO means you can only go to certain Doctors and Hospitals
  • "Pay as you go", you will have copay's for Medical Services: Doctor visits, Hospitalization, Lab Work, Advanced Imaging, etc...
Is a Medicare Advantage Plan right for me?
If you are comfortable with having a list of Doctors/Hospitals/Facilities, and you do not mind be required to pay a copay every time you use your Plan, than yes, a Medicare Advantage might be a good fit for you.


Summary of Medicare Supplement Plan:
  •  Flexibility, you can go to any Hospital/Doctor/Facility that accepts Medicare
  • Predictable, Medicare Supplement's pay what Medicare would normally charge you
  • An additional $80 to $140 monthly premium
Is a Medicare Supplement Plan right for me?

Not so healthy person: Yes, you will save money by purchasing a Medicare Supplement Plan. 

Healthy person: Would you consider the additional monthly premium a cost of living or a waste of money?
  • Waste of money: Then you are not a Medicare Supplement type of person...
  • Cost of living: I am 65 or older, things happen...
I am able to discuss this better through my video blog and or on the phone.
