Medicare Part B: Do You Know what You are Paying for?

We all know that Medicare and Medicare Part B are a maze of uncertainty for even the most well schooled government officials, but do you have any idea what you are paying for?  Do you know what Medicare Part B is really offering you and what you are getting in return for your money?

Seniors and other qualified participants in Medicare are worried for good reason about the constant changes involved in Medicare, specifically with Medicare Part B.  With a monthly premium of around $100 and a yearly deductible of around $155 this can be a pricey bit of insurance, but are you covered if you go to the doctor you choose?

Insurance professionals are urging the qualifying participants to ask many questions and do much research when deciding on what Medicare Part B plan you will use.  The reason is plain and simple, with as much as these plans change it is essential that you know you can go to the doctor in your area or who fits your needs.

Medicare Part B may be especially difficult for those who live in rural areas and may be miles and miles from their physician.  If you don’t do your due diligence when choosing your Part B provider you may be stuck driving for hours to see your physician, which will cost you even more.
