CUSTODY.
CUSTODY. DEPUTIES SAY THAT PERSON BECAME UNRESPONSIVE AND LATER DIED.
>> ALL RIGHT.
MEDICARE OPEN ENROLLMENT IS
OPEN AND DURING THIS TIME
PERIOD CURRENT MEDICARE USERS,
YOU CAN REEVALUATE AND CHANGE
YOUR PLAN TO BETTER FIT YOUR
NEEDS THAT SOMETIMES CAN CHANGE
AND SOMETIMES IT CAN BE
CONFUSING.
WE HAVE ASKED JOHN HILL, THE
PRESIDENT OF GATEWAY RETIREMENT
+@AND BROUGHT THIS IN THE STUDI
TO BREAK DOWN THE CONFUSING
TERMINOLOGY AND TO HELP YOU
GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A
START ON A GUIDE THAT WORKS
BEST FOR YOU.
WHAT WOULD YOU WANT PEOPLE TO
KNOW OUT OF THE GATE.
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST CHANGE?
>> FIRST OFF I WOULD LIKE TO
MAKE SURE THAT MEDICARE IS NOT
ONE THING BUT TWO.
YOU GOT ORIGINAL MEDICARE WHERE
YOU CAN ADD PART D YOUR DRUG
PLAN AND THEN POSSIBLY ADD
MEDICARE SUPPLEMENT AND PART C
OR MEDICARE ADVANTAGE.
THERE'S TWO PIECES THAT WE HAVE
TO CONSIDER.
WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE CHANGES.
MEDICARE SUPPLEMENT PLAN F AND
C THAT PEOPLE HAVE RELIED ON
FOR A LONG TIME IS GOING AWAY.
IF ANYBODY NEW SUBSCRIBERS TO
MEDICARE IN 2020 NO LONGER HAVE
THIS.
>> EVERYONE KNOWS THIS CHANGE
IS COMING.
>> YES, SIR.
+@
IS COMING. >> YES, SIR. THEY DO.
THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
+@
THEY DO. THAT'S A GOOD POINT. I WILL ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GO
TO PLAN G OR N BECAUSE THE
PEOPLE IN PLAN F WILL BE
SMALLER AND ORLANDO AND NEED
NEW CARE AND THOSE FIGURES WILL
BE GOING UP.
>> TWO POOLS OF PEOPLE, PEOPLE
THAT ARE CURRENTLY ON MEDICARE
AND THERE'S THE PEOPLE HEADED
THAT WAY AND THERE'S ALSO THE
PEOPLE THAT ARE CAREGIVERS.
>> YES.
>> SO THEY NEED TO BE INVOLVED
IN THIS PROCESS AS WELL.
>> YES.
MEDICARE IS PRODUCED SOME VERY
GOOD LITERATURE ON THIS.
THE MEDICARE BOOK WE GET EVERY
YEAR.
I'D LIKE FOR THEM TO TAKE NOTE
OF.
WE HELP PEOPLE EVERY DAY
GATEWAY RETIREMENT IN ROCK HILL
WITH QUESTIONS BECAUSE PEOPLE
HAVE ASSUMPTIONS AND RUMORS
TRAVEL FASTER THAN TRUTH AND
NOISE TO SEPARATE THINGS AND
MAKE IT CLEAR.
MEDICARE IS A WONDERFUL
PROGRAM.
I LOVE IT.
IT IS GOOD BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW
YOUR WAY AROUND AND ONCE YOU
KNOW IT, IT IS EASY.
>> IN A COMMERCIAL BREAK WE
WERE HAVING A CONVERSATION.
+@MEDICARE YOU JUST CAN'T HAVE
THAT BY YOURSELF.
>> YOU'RE RIGHT.
>> AND THAT IS A GOOD POINT.
MAYBE IT IS A MISNOMER AS THEY
HEAD TOWARDS MEDICARE THEY
+@
MAYBE IT IS A MISNOMER AS THEY HEAD TOWARDS MEDICARE THEY THINK IT WILL BE GREAT, NOT
NECESSARILY THE CASE.
>> RIGHT.
WHEN YOU GOT TWO OPTIONS TO ADD
TO YOUR MEDICARE COVERAGE AND
YOU SHOULD BECAUSE MEDICARE
COVERS 80%.
MEDICARE ADVANTAGE IS A PLAN +@
THAT COULD HELP YOU GET
COVERAGE.
IT COULD BE ZERO TO START.
NOW YOU GOT TO BE AWARE IT HAS
CO-PAYS AND NETWORKS AND COULD
COST YOU AS MUCH AS $6700 IN
NETWORK AND THERE IS A PLAN YOU
CAN GO WITH THAT YOU BUY A
TAILORED PLAN BY MEDICARE DOT
GOV AND GET YOUR SUPPLEMENT AND
THAT IS -- WE HAVE LOST F AND C
BUT G, N ARE EXCELLENT PLANS.
>> MEDICARE DOT GOV THAT BREAKS
IT DOWN AND WILL EXPLAIN IT.
>> A GOOD PLACE TO GO.
WE USE IT IN THE OFFICE ALL THE
TIME.
IF YOU CAME FOR A DRUG PLAN WE
WOULD LOOK UP THE PLANS ON
MEDICARE DOT GOV, WHY?
BECAUSE IT IS NEUTRAL.
EVERY OTHER SITE IS GOOD.
MEDICARE WILL TELL YOU THE GOOD
AND BAD AND THAT IS WHAT YOU
NEED TO KNOW.
>> THAT BRINGS ME TO ANOTHER
POINT, IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT
THIS AND SEARCHING FOR THINGS
ON THE INTERNET DON'T
NECESSARILY FALL IN THAT TRAP
OF MAYBE SOMEONE CONTACTING
+@YOU, I WARN PEOPLE ABOUT SCAM
ALL THE TIME.
HIS POINT ABOUT GOING TO
MEDICARE DOT GOV THAT WAY YOU
ARE ON A SECURE SITE AND THERE
SHOULD BE A PADLOCK ON THE LEFT
SIDE OF THE BROWSER THAT TELLS
YOU ARE A SECURE SITE.
>> MEDICARE DOT GOV A LOT MORE
+@
YOU ARE A SECURE SITE. >> MEDICARE DOT GOV A LOT MORE HIGH TECH AND PERSONALIZED YOU
HAVE TO REGISTER WITH A
PASSWORD, A USER NAME.
+@
HAVE TO REGISTER WITH A PASSWORD, A USER NAME. >> NEVER GIVE OUT THAT
INFORMATION UNLESS YOU KNOW WHO
YOU ARE TALKING TO.
>> YOU ARE RIGHT.
BE CAREFUL.
YOU GET THE MEDICARE SITE AND
YOU CAN LIST YOUR MEDICINES AND
THE DRUGSTORES THAT YOU PREFER
AND IT WILL GUIDE YOU.
THIS IS A GREAT -- THEY HAVE
UPDATED IT.
LIKE GOING FROM DIALING UP
INTERNET TO TODAY'S INTERNET.
A GREAT STEP FORWARD.
>> LIGHT SPEED.
>> YES, SIR.
IT IS GOOD.
>> JOHN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> DON'T BE INTIMIDATED AND
