The Transition to Medicare Podcast

Think about who you're referring to. 1. Yes, please bring up Medicare!  2. You don't know what to do when the client says "yes, I'd love help!" (YIKES!)  3. Careful that who you refer to isn't engaging your client with products that you may not be aware of.  Happens far more than you can imagine.

Consumers are the only ones that get frustrated with the Medicare process. Listen in!

Try and put yourself into the shoes of an 82 year old, for example, when you are choosing your Medicare products. Sounds crazy but there are good reasons to do so. Like purchasing insurance on your house after a fire, some things just cannot be fixed. 

Chance encounter with an advisor in San Diego leads to a good outcome for his father in law!  Tune in - 

It's our annual prep time for the coming year in terms of "new stuff". Plan changes, new testing requirements for agents, things like that. SO, if we are getting hit with all sorts of chaos? We certainly know that are consumers are as well....  Take a planned approach to Medicare and you'll be OK.  www. BHGvault.com 

Listen in to hear how millennial’s can spice up our industry :-)

It's a constant message that we work to deliver.  When someone approaches Medicare, they have only two choices of products to "supplement" their Medicare.  One is Medicare Advantage, the other is Medigap. Apples and oranges. Each and every day we hear from folks who have/had 'no idea'. Don't let that be you. Call BHG!

Joanne is here in San Diego to talk to CUSO Financial Services FAs from across the U.S. Incredibly happy to be able to bring them our Medicare-Message.  The industry is starting to take note of the confusion facing 10,000 people per day - so why not bring us to San Diego to talk about it! Share with your advisor as well. 

People that work in the group workplace benefits space don’t always know the ins and outs of Medicare. Do yourself a favor, make a call for a second opinion.

Enrolling into a Medicare Advantage plan shouldn't be a "one and done".  We highly, highly recommend a good old review each fall performed by.... YOU!  You need to check with your doctors, your medications, your plan documents and more.  Don't want to deal with all of that? Don't enroll into Medicare Advantage. Call our team at 248-871-7756 to talk things through! 

Hilarious (to us!) how people just don't understand what they have, if they have, regarding Medicare coverage.  Listen in to the story..... 

We get it. Sometimes our Medigap plans sound too good to be true so they can be looked at with a tad of skepticism. Totally get it!

A hot topic these days as people work longer. Tune in to see if group insurance is better than Medicare or vice versa.

When our clients ultimately have a sickness (the bad), we often can deliver positive health insurance information (the good). That’s what we’re here for! 

If you are approaching age 65, you will totally relate to this short clip.

There is so much misinformation and miscommunication in the world of Medicare. Remember the old game of telephone when you were a child? You start it again when you’re 65!

Get second opinions! We’re used to getting a second opinion regarding our health care – why not get a second opinion on your health insurance?

How are we compensated? Consumers should know how their agent is compensated. Know the questions to ask and how it might affect you. 

We schedule our teeth cleanings six months in advance, right? Why not take the same approach to Medicare. Listen in.....! 

You can have really good coverage without buying multiple policies – listen in! 

The work never ends for those of us working in the Medicare space. Incredible amounts of work to do. Sharing some stories and a few announcements in this episode.

Don’t do it! Listen in as to why we suggest that you do NOT have your premiums withheld from your Social Security checks.

Dig beneath the surface in your Medigap vs Medicare Advantage decision

There are times when people need to sign up for Medicare part B, and there are times when they don’t need to do so. One 10 minute phone call to us would clear up their confusion. And, save them some hard earned cash!

We get a lot of questions about the historically popular Medigap Plan F. How does it differ from Plan G? Listen in.
