Manage episode 491611561 series 2652782
In the Medicare Advantage Minute we learn how MA plans use prior authorization requirements to help balance the books. This at the expense of patients who are in need of medical treatment for the best opportunity to regain health!
Nebraska is taking the lead in the war to make MA plans better for their members.
In the Your Medicare Benefits segment we learn how Medicare is likely to cover lymphedema compression treatment items.
Do you like to get stabbed? We cover a list of vaccinations recommended for adults.
Finally, an advisor known only as "Rusty" takes a question from a couple who are shocked to have been caught by the "Success Penalty" known as IRMAA.
IRMAA casts a wide net but there is an appeal process that has shown success in the past.
