Medicare Replacement Plan & QMB

[Guest guest]

Here is my scenario:

Patient has an AARP Medicare Replacement Plan through Secure

Horizons. In addition, Patient also has Medicaid QMB.

The question is

Why would the patient need a

replacement plan if he already has QMB which is coverage for Medicare

deductible & coinsurance liabilities for Medicare claims?

Did the patient need a

replacement plan if he already has the QMB?

Should I advise him to switch

back to his Traditional Medicare A & B?

Any suggestions? By the way, I am in the state of

Texas.

Thanks!
