Traditional Medicare vs. Medicare Advantage: A Checklist - J. P. Morgan
“Medicare Open Enrollment” began on October 15th and runs through December 7th. This is the best time to reevaluate your healthcare coverage, especially to explore how you current plan may have changed and whether a different plan may better suit your needs. It is admittedly a confusing time which many seniors avoid, simply because avoiding is easier than do the needed research.
Of course, one of the decisions you may need to evaluate is whether to use "Traditional Medicare” or instead enroll in a “Medicare Advantage” plan. There are advantages and disadvantages to both, and a lot depends on your personal preference. Nevertheless, it’s a process you should go through to make sure you have all the healthcare you need at a cost you can afford. This J.P.Morgan article by Andrew Kessel provides a convenient 7 point checklist to help you evaluate your healthcare options during Open Enrollment. Click here to read more.
