Medicare Advantage Plans are the fastest growing options in Medicare (source:

). These can be a smart choice for Medicare beneficiaries in Kapolei. If you want lower monthly payments, and more extra benefits like dental, vision, and hearing (depending on the Plan), a Medicare Advantage plan may be a good option to consider. With so many people trying to sell Medicare Advantage plans, you should be careful not to join a plan that doesn’t fit with your lifestyle and priorities. Let’s talk through what to look for when comparing plans.

Why Medicare Advantage over Original Medicare?

If you’re approaching 65, you’ve likely been pitched on the perks of Medicare Advantage plans already. These plans

offer more coverage than just Parts A & B

. They often have extra benefits not found on Original Medicare. With Medicare Advantage there are fewer up front costs, and the trade-off can be more out-of-pocket costs as you seek more care. Another feature of Medicare Advantage is the HMO or PPO network, defined by the carrier that offers your plan. HMOs require you to stay in-network, while PPOs simply charge you more for seeking out-of-network care.
If these benefits are important for you, you don’t visit your physician frequently, and you are content with staying in your designated network, then Medicare Advantage could be a smart choice. In Kapolei, the average monthly premium is $18.33, and the average Max-Out-of-Pocket is $6,167.

How to Choose a Medicare Advantage Plan:

Choosing a Medicare Advantage plan can be daunting. Trying to consume all of the information available to you could take months. We recommend focusing on a few important plan details to evaluate. Consider the following:
  • Expected Total Annual Cost: Not just the plan’s low premium, but also its deductibles, copays, and coinsurance based on your healthcare needs.
  • Maximum Out-of-Pocket Cost: Consider how much you can afford to pay yearly in a worst-case scenario.
  • Doctors and Prescriptions: Will joining a specific plan align with your current physician and prescription drug needs?
  • HMO vs. PPO Network: Are you content in-network? Or do you want more flexibility in going outside the network?
  • Extra Benefits: Is Medicare Advantage your smartest way to save money on dental, vision, hearing, or other costs?
At the end of the day, your “Expected Total Annual Cost” is often what matters most. However, it’s also the most complicated detail to figure out. Our team of licensed insurance agents will help you calculate this number for your specific circumstance and find the plan to fit. At Fair Square, 96% of our clients would refer us to a friend or family member.

What do 4 star Medicare Advantage plans offer in Kapolei?

A few things to keep in mind when shopping around. You will still need to pay your Part B Premium of $164.90, the Premium you see is added on to that. Don’t get blinded by the benefits. Some perks might be flashy, but they’re only worth it when you use them and they don’t come at the expense of quality coverage. Contact one of our licensed agents to check if your Doctors and prescriptions are covered, and evaluate the tradeoff between any benefits.
