Medicare Consulting

Health & Lifestyle Approach driven plans

Medicare Consulting 

Providing Medicare consulting for clients involves a detailed understanding of their unique needs, lifestyle, health status, and financial situation. Here’s a structured approach to offer personalized consulting services:

Advanced Planning

  • Long-Term Care: Discuss options for long-term care, which is not covered by Medicare, including long-term care insurance policies.
  • Estate Planning: Coordinate with their estate planner to understand how healthcare costs can impact their estate and vice versa.
  • Tax Planning: Offer guidance on how Medicare premiums could affect their taxes and strategies to minimize IRMAA charges.

03

Educating on Medicare Options

  • Medicare Parts A and B: Explain the basics, including what is covered and not covered, and the importance of timing for enrollment to avoid penalties.
  •  Medicare Advantage (Part C): Discuss if an Advantage plan suits their lifestyle, especially if they travel frequently or prefer certain healthcare providers.
  • Medicare Part D: For prescription drug coverage, evaluate their current and anticipated medication needs.
  • Medigap: Supplemental policies that can cover additional costs not covered by traditional Medicare, which might be appealing for those seeking comprehensive healthcare coverage.

02

Initial Assessment

  • Activity & Lifestyle: Understand their current lifestyle, including travel habits, hobbies, and activity level. Wealthy clients might have a more active lifestyle, involving frequent international travel, which could affect their Medicare choices.
  • Health Status: Assess their current health conditions and medical history. Wealthy clients might prefer access to specialists, cutting-edge treatments, or alternative medicine, impacting their Medicare plan choices.
  • Financial Situation: Though Medicare is not means-tested, understanding the client’s financial situation can help in planning for Medicare Part B and D premiums, which can be higher for high-income individuals due to the Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA).
