2008 Medicare Update
There are
so many issues surrounding the new prescription drug legislation
that trying to make sense of it all can be overwhelming!!!
Click
here to see a simple explanation of the principal features
of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization
Act of 2003.
Is
Medicare Enough To Protect Your Savings And Assets?
The Part A Deductible and Co-Payments
increase every year, and most likely will do so again for 2009.
Between 1995 and 2008 the Part A Deductible
and Co-payments increased by almost 23.8%, which may not sound like
much. However, the questions to ask if you're living on a retirement
income are:
- "Did my income
increase enough to cover these additional expenses?"
- or...
- "Are my savings
sufficient to cover increases like these every year?"
The
NEA MemberCare® Medicare Supplement Program
Is Specially Designed To Pay What Medicare Does Not, As
Well As Future Increases.
If you've ever had to use your Medicare
benefits, you know all about the costs you have to pay out of your
own pocket. There's the $1,024.00 Part A Deductible...and the
$135.00 Part B Deductible...and daily co-payments for certain
types of care. These deductibles and copayments are illustrated
in more detail on the Summary Plan
Options pages that show what Medicare pays and what Medicare
Supplement would pay.
These costs--the money you
have to pay--are the reason why coverage under a Medicare
Supplement Program is so important.
And like other Medicare Supplement
Plans, the NEA MemberCare Program pays the deductibles and
co-payments not covered by Medicare for you.
In
addition, NEA MemberCare Medicare Supplement Program will
automatically increase your benefits to match when Medicare
deductibles and co-payments are raised.
Another important advantage of the
NEA MemberCare Medicare Supplement Program is that you get additional
discounts. through the NEA
Medicare Supplement Best Benefits Card. See the related
links above.

bills when you can have the solid protection offered by the NEA
MemberCare Medicare Supplement Program. Apply today for lower rates

Retiree Medical Benefits?
If you're fortunate enough
to have coverage from your employer, it may cover the costs.
But what if it's not enough?
Social Security Benefits?
If you have Social Security
money left at the end of the month, you can use that to
cover the costs. Do you have Social
Security money left over?
Pension Funds?
If you have pension, you can
use that money to cover the costs. But how long will it
last?
Savings And Assets?
If you've saved enough and
have money to spare, you can use savings to cover the costs.
But why risk all that you worked so hard to get?
If you DO NOT already
have Medicare Supplement insurance, now is the time to do
something about it.

by a Medicare Supplement Program, now is the time to switch.
