Consider these while choosing a Medicare plan

Choosing the right Medicare plan is a very important decision and should be a vital part of retirement and financial planning. However, Medicare coverage choices can be a mystery.

When choosing Medicare coverage, consider the following:

• What will you pay out-of-pocket, including premiums?
• Can you see the doctors you, want or do you have to find a doctor who accepts your plan?
• Do you need a referral to see a specialist?
• Does the plan contract with the hospital you want?
• Do you retain control of your original Medicare?
• Do you have to promise to receive all your Medicare-covered services (excepting emergency and urgent care) through the health plan?
• Medicare will pay for its share of the charges, and you will pay the beneficiary share of the charge, allowing you to retain control of your original Medicare benefits.
• Will your doctor accept your Medicare insurance? Some doctors choose not to accept patients solely with original Medicare.
• Quality of Care; How does Medicare score the quality of plans in your area?
