    This year Medicare is denied my mammogram and ultra sound. This is causeing me to appeal. They say that far to few women get their mammograms as needed. This is scary. They have too much power over our health care.

    Thank you Stephanie. I appreciate your videos and how they are factual and packed with info. I plan on working past 65 and am interested in understanding the process to delay my enrollment while staying on my employers plan and whether this delay poses any issue with a medigap plan (maybe missed something in what you said?). Additionally, I'm wondering if I'm financially better off keeping my unemployed wife on my work plan or if having her file for Medicare at 65 and taking her off the work insurance would be a better choice. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Stephanie, my name is Jose, I live in NY, became disabled on September 2022 and started getting ssdi payments monthly on march 2023, I don’t understand why people in my family are just starting getting ssdi like me a couple of months ago and are with Medicare already, they didn’t have to wait like me the 24 months waiting period, I past 2,000.00 a month and can’t apply for Medicaid in NY because my income is 34,000.00 a year, I have no medical insurance because they asking for an average $900.00 a month which is too much for me, so now I’m preying I don’t get further injuries on my 3 surgeries until I could get Medicare in 24 months, EXCELLENT INFORMATION VIDEO

    • @AbtInsuranceAgency

    What Part of Medicare is the *most* confusing? Drop your opinion below, so I can make a video about it! ⬇

    • @maaloufgeorge2926
      @maaloufgeorge2926 Před 4 měsíci +2

      The confusing part for me is that: Even supplement plan G needs approval for a blood tests. Medicare rejected 3 tests from all the tests performed last year because they indicated that it is not medically necessary. Thus I paid $67 out of pocket for my blood work. Also I do not understand why Medicare pays only one time for a complete blood test . I thought this would be routine with my yearly checkup (only during the 12 months of enrollment to medicare). This would mean that this year I cannot do a blood test to assess my Cholesterol level?????.. Thank you in advance for your valuable information.....

      Can you make a video regarding employer-offered plans for retirees? (BlueSecure in my case) I've already discussed this with Abbie from your office and she recommended I go that route rather than go on my own with privatized medigap, but I'm still a bit confused about it. Not sure if I can easily change it down the road or even if it's considered an Advantage plan. Thank you so much for all you do!

    Thanks Stephanie! I love your channel. Are medigap plans generally "portable" from state to state without underwriting? I live in Minnesota, a State I understand your agency is not licensed in, and turn 65 in June 2024. Just wondering if underwriting will be a requirement if I for example decide to move to Wisconsin in ten years. Or does the answer to my question depend on State, or the insurance provider?

    • @AbtInsuranceAgency

      Your Medigap plan always travels with you and you do NOT need to change it or go through underwriting when you move.
