Dear Toni,
I am retiring in February when I turn 65 and will need to enroll in Medicare parts A and B with a Medicare supplement and a Part D prescription drug plan.
My husband, James, is 72 and has heart issues, so he enrolled in Medicare A and B when he turned 65 and remained on my company benefits to have his heart surgery. He is taking Eliquis for blood clots.
The manager at James’ cardiologist’s office expressed concern over my husband’s insurance changes. Since their office accepts few Medicare Advantage plans, she suggested that Medicare with a Medicare supplement would be the right choice for James.
We need your help. Please explain what I need to do to get Medicare Supplement coverage for both me and James. Thanks, Toni.
