Medicare               health               plans               in               2010-do               you               need               Medicare               Advantage               coverage               to               get               the               most               out               of               your               Medicare               benefits?

In               my               years               of               working               in               Medicare               customer               service,               I               have               been               asked               that               very               question               more               times               than               it               is               possible               to               count.

The               short               answer               is,               "no,"               you               do               not               need               a               Medicare               health               plan,               not               in               2010               or               in               any               year.

However,               would               a               privately               managed               Advantage               Plan               best               serve               your               needs?

That               is               a               different               question               altogether,               and               the               answer               depends               on               understanding               just               exactly               what               a               Medicare               health               plan               is               and               what               your               insurance               needs               are.

To               help               figure               out               whether               a               health               plan               is               best               for               you,               keep               in               mind               that               Advantage               Plans               are               insurance               policies,               and               that               the               purpose               of               insurance               is               risk               management.

People               seek               out               insurance               for               essentially               two               basic               reasons:               peace               of               mind               and               to               solve               a               problem               (or               problems).

Ask               yourself               these               two               questions:               What               health               risks               are               you               most               concerned               about               and               what               problem               are               you               trying               to               solve?

The               answers               to               these               questions               will               help               you               figure               out               whether               Medicare               health               plan               coverage               would               work               for               you               and               which               plan               to               join.
               Medicare               Advantage               Plans-or               health               plans,               the               two               terms               mean               the               same               thing               in               the               Medicare               system,               are               privately               managed               health               care               plans               that               provide               coverage               for               the               same               core               services               established               by               Original               Medicare.

Advantage               Plans               are               an               optional               way               to               receive               your               Medicare               coverage.

The               privately               managed               plans               are               sold               in               the               form               of               health               maintenance               organizations               (HMOs),               preferred               provider               organizations               (PPOs),               private               fee               for               service               programs               (PFFSs),               medical               savings               accounts               (MSAs),               and               Cost               plans,               to               name               a               few               examples.

When               you               join               a               Medicare               health               plan,               you               authorize               that               insurance               company               to               manage               your               Medicare               doctor               and               hospital               benefits               and               to               process               and               be               the               single               payer               of               your               claims.

Some               Advantage               Plans               may               also               offer               extra               benefits               not               ordinarily               available               in               Original               Medicare,               such               as               hearing               aids,               routine               physical               exams,               dental               services,               reading               glasses,               and               routine               transportation.
               Three               important               points               to               consider               when               deciding               whether               or               not               to               join               a               health               plan               concern               providers               (doctors               and               hospitals),               pre-authorization,               and               service               area.

First,               are               your               health               care               providers               in               the               plan's               network               or               otherwise               able               to               submit               claims               to               the               insurer?

Before               you               join               any               plan               you               must               find               out               if               your               providers               can               submit               claims               to               the               Plan.

If               the               answer               is               no,               then               you               would               pay               the               charges               out               of               your               own               pocket.

The               second               point               concerns               pre-authorization.

In               general,               Advantage               Plans               require               pre-authorization               for               services               before               making               payment.

If               you               do               not               get               pre-authorization,               then               in               most               cases               the               plan               will               not               pay.

Third,               Medicare               health               plans               can               only               provide               only               care               within               their               immediate               service               area.

Please               take               the               time               to               find               out               if               the               Plan               has               providers               in               your               area-you               don't               want               to               join               and               find               out               you               must               drive               50               miles               to               get               to               the               nearest               doctor.

If               you               plan               on               traveling               or               are               a               "snowbird"--changing               your               residence               depending               on               season,               you               may               not               be               able               to               get               the               care               you               need               if               you               have               an               Advantage               Plan.

I               don't               want               to               scare               you-I               talk               to               many               Medicare               beneficiaries               every               day               who               love               their               Advantage               Plans,               but               as               with               any               product               sold               on               the               open               market,               as               a               buyer               you               must               beware               because               if               you               make               a               mistake               in               judgment,               you               will               bear               full               responsibility               for               the               consequences.
               When               you               are               considering               a               health               plan,               you               want               to               be               sure               to               find               out               the               costs               of               copayments               for               doctor               visits,               the               costs               of               inpatient               hospital               care,               skilled               nursing               facility               care,               outpatient               services               and               surgery,               ambulance               services,               emergency               room               visits,               lab               fees,               and               x-rays               and               other               radiology               services,               and               durable               medical               equipment.

If               you               think               you               might               require               chiropractic               or               physical               therapy,               be               sure               to               ask               representatives               of               the               plans               in               which               you               are               interested               for               the               costs               and               whether               there               are               any               limitations               on               service.

I               would               also               suggest               you               ask               about               out-of-pocket               maximums.

Some               Medicare               health               plans               establish               a               maximum               limit               on               how               much               you               pay               for               doctor               and               hospital               benefits               and               that,               in               turn,               could               save               you               money               for               certain               types               of               services               should               you               reach               a               catastrophic               level               of               coverage..

Most               Medicare               Plans               include               drug               coverage,               so               you               want               to               find               out               the               costs               of               the               prescription               plan,               such               as               the               premium,               deductible,               copayments               and               whether               or               not               you               will               enter               the               coverage               gap.

Be               sure               to               verify               that               your               medications               are               on               the               Plan               formulary.

Finally,               be               sure               to               pay               special               attention               to               the               costs               of               services               you               are               most               interested               in               or               anticipate               needing               the               most.

This               may               require               a               bit               of               research,               but               you               can               then               compare               cost-sharing               information               with               Original               Medicare.
               Original               Medicare,               in               contrast,               is               the               Medicare               program               managed               by               the               Federal               government               and               was               first               signed               into               law               by               President               Lyndon               Johnson               in               1965.

The               Original               Medicare               program               is               a               fee               for               service               program,               which               means               that               medical               providers               bill               Medicare               for               each               service               or               supply               you               receive.

There               is               no               pre-determined               network               of               providers               (doctor,               hospitals,               and               other               health               care               providers).

You               simply               go               to               any               doctor               or               hospital               enrolled               in               the               Medicare               program               anywhere               in               the               United               States.

Payment               to               providers               is               based               on               a               fee               schedule               established               by               the               Centers               for               Medicare               and               Medicaid               Services               (CMS,               which               is               the               more               formal               name               for               the               federally               managed               Medicare               agency).

Medicare               does               not               pre-authorize               services               but               relies               on               the               claims               submitted               by               providers               to               establish               medical               necessity               before               payment               can               be               made.
               When               you               are               enrolled               with               Original               Medicare               and               need               drug               coverage,               any               Medicare               beneficiary               with               either               Part               A               or               B               or               both               can               join               a               Medicare               stand-alone               (prescription               only)               plan               that               works               parallel               to               Part               A               and/or               B.

As               an               aside,               I'll               mention               that               I               talk               to               many               Medicare               enrollees               who               think               that               the               only               way               to               get               drug               coverage               is               to               join               a               Medicare               Advantage               Plan,               and               that               is               100%               incorrect.

You               have               a               choice-you               can               receive               drug               coverage               through               a               stand-alone               plan               or               within               the               package               of               benefits               provided               by               an               Advantage               Plan.

When               you               have               other               creditable               coverage,               such               as               through               an               employer               group               health               insurance,               a               retiree               coverage,               the               VA,               or               Tricare,               then               you               do               not               need               to               join               a               Medicare               plan,               as               there               is               an               exclusion               for               individuals               with               non-Medicare               creditable               coverage.
               Original               Medicare               consists               of               Part               A               and               Part               B.

Part               A               covers               inpatient               hospital               charges,               home               health               care,               skilled               nursing               facility               care,               inpatient               mental               health               care,               and               care               in               long               term               hospitals.

Part               B               covers               doctors'               services,               medical               supplies,               and               equipment,               and               hospital               outpatient               care.

Each               part               of               Medicare               has               its               own               deductible               and               coinsurance               costs.

The               kind               of               care               you               receive               determines               which               part               of               Medicare               the               claim               is               sent               for               processing,               how               it               is               processed,               how               much               is               paid,               and               what               your               share               of               the               costs               will               be.
               To               wrap               up,               although               your               options               within               the               Medicare               program               can               seem               complicated               and               confusing,               there               are               a               few               relatively               basic               steps               you               can               take               to               determine               whether               coverage               by               a               Medicare               health               plan               in               2010               (or               any               year)               or               through               Original               Medicare               is               best               for               you.

First,               identify               the               health               needs               and               concerns               most               important               to               you.

Second,               as               much               as               possible,               find               out               how               the               insurance               determines               payment               and               how               much               it               is               likely               to               pay               on               the               kinds               of               services               you               may               need               the               most.

Third,               examine               the               basic               rules               that               govern               the               use               of               the               policy               such               as               pre-authorization,               service               area               requirements,               and               limitations               of               kinds               of               coverage               and               access               to               providers.

For               more               information               on               the               options               available               to               you               in               the               Medicare               program,               you               can               call               1-800-MEDICARE               (1-800-633-4227)               24               hours               a               day,               7               days               a               week.
