It’s come to my attention that Kaiser Medicare Advantage HMO has raised its Annual Out of Pocket maximum to $6,700 starting on Jan. 1, 2018. This could be a financial burden for many seniors.
As an alternative, Medicare Supplement Plan F has $0 Out of Pocket costs for any Medicare-eligible medical expense (except for a separate Prescription Drug Plan), and allow access to any Medicare provider in the U.S.
For those turning 65 in Contra Costa, Anthem Blue Cross Medicare Supplement Plan F plan premiums can be as low as $115/month, after discounts. (This is compared to Kaiser Medicare Advantage’s monthly premium of $103/month, including Rx.)
If you have any questions, we’d be happy to consult with you on your options.
