More on Medicare changes

[Guest guest]

This came in an advertisement, but the information I am copying is general

information for everyone on Medicare to take notice of the changes.

What’s staying the same?

• The guaranteed benefits you get from Medicare will not change

• During annual enrollment, which starts November 15, you can

choose between Original Medicare, a Medicare Advantage plan

and a Part D plan

• Medicare will cover your health care costs the same way

• There are no changes to who is eligible for Medicare

What are the changes to Medicare?

• The Medicare Part D coverage gap will shrink over time so you

don’t have to pay as much out of pocket for prescription drugs.

This will start in 2010:

• A greater focus on preventive care and screenings will help keep

people as healthy as possible.

• Medicare Advantage plans will have an annual out-of-pocket

maximum limit.

• Most people will have only from November 15 to December 31

to enroll in a plan. The Open Enrollment Period from January 1

to March 31 goes away.

There will be changes to some Private Fee-For-Service (PFFS) plans.

FYI,

I had a e-mail that was sent to all my contacs and it was titled but I did

not send it.  I have changed all my passwords but wanted to let you guys

know. 

Sorry Lottie but your the first safe e-mail I could find.  But it went to

my son's teacher's and everybody and it is titled something like angelfire

something but it's not good so don't open it if any one gets

one.             

Thanks, Dee     Sorry to butt in Lottie!!!!
