Managed Care ‘Freedom’? Questions Seniors should research in the case of HMOs: 1. Can patients pick their primary-care physician? 2. What gets covered? Pre-existing conditions? Emergency-room visits? 3. How much will it really cost? Are there co-payments on prescriptions, routine doctor appointments and visits to specialists? 4. What if a patient wants to see someone not included in the plan? Managed Care ‘Freedom’? Questions Seniors should research in the case of HMOs: (continued) 5. How good are the HMO doctors? How many are board-certified? 6. Does the patient have access to any doctor in the HMO plan? 7. How convenient are the locations of HMO facilities and physicians? 8. What do current patients think of the HMO? “First Year” Choices Initial Medicare Supplement policy selection is more critical than customers may realize. Only policies are standardized, companies are not. Choose a safe, strong, proven company — once. Research, understand and choose the best coverage for you — once. Qualify for coverage — once. Health status can change and qualifying for a different policy (an upgrade) may not be possible later. Long Term Care Need On average, one year in a nursing home costs about $57,700. - Evans Research, May 2003 The average cost of a nursing home ranges from $98 – $457 per day, depending on location. - GE Financial, August 2003 Life Coverage When a loved one dies many bills may remain and the family will need to find the money to pay them. Life insurance coverage bought now can help to cover these costs. Life insurance for final expense needs is generally for ages 50-80. Provides quick access to pay final expense costs. Protects loved ones from financial burden during a difficult time. Options can include varying face amounts, cash and loan values and living benefits. Life Coverage Life insurance is purchased mainly to buy additional financial protection for families. Individual life policies offer 2 basic types of protection: covering a specified term or permanently covering one’s whole life. Ordinary life is the most widely used form of life insurance protection and it is broken into two types . . . whole life (permanent) and term insurance. Annuities Most annuities are available for ages 0-80. Annuities are purchased for the purpose of producing periodic income at regular intervals for a specific time frame, such as 10, 20, 30 years or even life. Annuities help assure protection against the possibility of outliving one’s financial resources. Typically, annuities are intended to provide additional retirement income. Life/Health Insurer Selection Choose the right company. Examine the company behind the product . . . financial stability, leadership experience, industry ratings and rankings. Match coverage needs to budget. The bottom line . . . what good is an insurer if you can’t depend on them when you need protection?
