In year 2000, 13% of the US population was over 65 and Medicare eligible. — Administration on Aging; www.aoa.dhhs.gov, August 1999.

Insurance companies receive eligible Medicare Part B claims automatically from Medicare Part B administrators.
Automatic filing virtually eliminates the need for customer claims filing.
Not all Medicare Supplement insurers offer automatic filing.
Companies offering automatic filing sometimes provide it only in limited areas.
Federal law requires Medicare to file a small number of claims directly with insurers.
Automatic Claims Filing
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:
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?
Managed Care ‘Freedom’?
Questions Seniors should research in the case of HMOs: (continued)
Initial Medicare Supplement policy selection is more critical than customers may realize.
Only policies are standardized, companies are not.
“First Year” Choices
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.
36% of all 65 year old men and 50% of all 65 year old women will eventually require nursing home care.- Long Term Care Planning, A Dollar and Sense Guide, 2001.
The average cost of a nursing home stay in 1990 was about $72 a day. - Who Buys Long Term Care Insurance? 1994-95 Profiles & Innovations in a Dynamic Market, HIAA
This figure has now risen to a cost ranging from $85-178 per day, depending on location.- University of Maryland Center on Aging Partnership for Long Term Care, updated 8/7/01.
Long Term Care Need
Life insurance is purchased mainly to buy additional financial protection for families.
Most policies sold cover people age 0-80.
Life Coverage
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.
The most common minimum amount of an individual policy is $10,000.
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 Coverage
This type of Life insurance 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
(continued)
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
Annuities help assure protection against the possibility of outliving one’s financial resources.
Typically annuities are intended to provide additional retirement income.
Choose the right company.
Examine the company behind the product . . .
financial stability, leadership experience, industry ratings and rankings.
Life/Health Insurer Selection
Match coverage needs to budget.
The bottom line . . . what good is an insurer if you can’t depend on them when you need protection?

Dear Madam,I have been with you about 8 years and in that time I have never had a problem. As a matter of fact many times evidence of your payment (monthly statement) comes before the EOMB from Medicare.
