New Medicare Assistance Available to Help Retirees

In 2010, there were about 1500 stand alone (private drug plans, Part D) in the Medicare program. Average nationwide premiums for 2010 are about $38/month. However, in Florida there are Medicare Advantage plans that include drug costs for as little as $0/month and a range of options for receiving coverage, from standard Medicare with a stand alone drug plan, to Medicare Advantage (bundled services provided through insurance companies instead of standard Medicare), or dual eligibility such as Medicare/Medicaid, VA, and private employer/retiree plans.

As healthcare costs across the board continue to increase and as we each more carefully analyze how we will fund our longevity, healthcare coverage during retirement is a key component.
