For most Medicare beneficiaries this 2011 Anual Enrollment Period is no different than in previous years, a headache. Regardless of whether they are forced to find a new plan because they are losing their current coverage due to a service area change or searching for better benefits; it can be a challenge without the advice of a trusted agent. There are so many different types of plans to choose from. Which is better? A PPO, HMO, PFFS, and by the way, what is a PFFS. There are many factors to be considered when picking the “right ” plan. Is my doctor “In-Network? Is my hospital “In-Network”? This is why it is important to have guidance from someone who knows all of the plans, premiums and benefits.
One important factor this year to be considered is that all Piedmont hospitals will be Out of Network for any Medicare Advantage plans for 2011. They will file most all plans except for HMO plans. This means added out of pocket expense for most beneficiaries. However, there are ways around this problem. There are plans that have the same Out-of Network benefits as In-Network.
There is an exception to this rule regarding state retirees, their plans will be considered In -Network. These individuals will continue to have full access to all Piedmont hospitals and physicians without any additional out of pocket expense.
