[39- 52 Solution Series] Questions- Where Did My Doctor Go?
Most folks like their doctors and expect to keep them when 2022 rolls around. But an unpleasant surprise is finding out your doctor has left your plan’s network right when you need to see them. A great way to avoid surprises at the start of January 2022 is to do a Medicare Advantage plan checkup during Medicare’s Annual Election Period (AEP).
AEP begins on Oct. 15 and runs until Dec. 7. Medicare experts can review current Medicare Advantage plans, benefits, and doctors to confirm the coverage folks need for the coming year to avoid surprises.
And if a change of doctors or coverage is needed, folks can make a change.
Below is a link to a Success Story featured on an episode of our talk show 65 and Counting.
Marty came to our office in a panic about his doctor leaving his plan network. So what was he going to do?
Watch the episode to see how a complimentary review of current plans every year can save folks from headaches and stress later.
