HOW BIG IS YOUR DOUGHNUT HOLE?
Are You Tired of the Confusion
about Medicare Part D?
Would You Like Save Money on
Part D Premiums?
Close Your Doughnut Hole and SAVE MONEY!
Greetings,
Have you gotten to the
point of saying "enough
is enough" with all of the information on
Medicare's prescription drug benefit? Are you frustrated with
the high costs of participating in this program?
Are you frustrated with
the Doughnut Hole?
Would you be more
excited about the program if you could see
that it really saved
you money?
If
these questions describe your feelings about the Part D program,
then there is a book will show you
how
to get what you want
- close your doughnut hole, lower
program costs, cheaper
prescriptions and real
savings!
"How Big is Your Doughnut Hole? - Part D Subsidy Secrets"
There is information overload on the Part D
program!
There are so
many programs that are vying for your agreement to sign up with their
plan, it is becoming a nightmare of information and misinformation.
There is one matter that is being uniformly overlooked. HOW do you become
qualified for subsidy assistance to help
you pay the costs of the program.
If you are like most every one else, you are frustrated because after
more closely examining the Part D program you found that it really does
not provide much coverage for you and it costs a lot of money. You
discovered the "doughnut
hole" in the coverage. That is the
$2,850 of
prescritpion drugs that you
have to pay for totally out of your pocket betweeen the amount covered
at the beginning of the plan and the coverage over $5,100.
Another
"little fact"
that
you have seen no doubt is that there
are penalties if you did not enroll during the
open enrollment period
that ended
May 15, 2006. If you were not a part of a "creditable"
prescription drug program, then
for every
month
after May 15, 2006 that you wait to enroll
there is a 1%
penalty added onto your base monthly premium and
you pay that every month for the
rest of your life! There
are a lot of choices and they have potentially
a wide range of
consequences for you. One of the choices that you know that you really
want to avoid is going without insurance with the prospect of
ever
increasing drug costs staring you in the
face.
ATTENTION! ATTENTION! If you did not enroll and were not in a creditable prescription drug plan as of May 15, 2005, You still have an OPPORTUNITY to enroll without penalty! If you Qualify for PART D Subsidies PRIOR to December 31, 2006, you WILL NOT be subject to the non-enrollment penalty from last year!
What if you could find
information
about HOW you
could get help paying for the Part D
coverage and that help actually makes
your drug budget decrease from its currently
ascent into the
heavens? What if you could get coverage that carried you all the way
through all of your prescription drug expenses with NO
doughnut hole?
Well, that is what I
thought the program should do
and I was just as disappointed as everyone else. Now I am not eligible
for Medicare yet, just the senior menu's at the local restraunts but I
am an Elder Law Attorney. My practice is entirely dedicated to
assisting people, like you, who are in their 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's,
weave their way through the maze of laws and regulations that affect
them and their families. Toward the end of 2004 and in the beginning of
2005, more and more of my clients asked about Medicare Part D. They had
lots of questions and concerns about the how the program was going to
work and how they were going to be able to afford to pay for the
program. I started to look for resources and found that there was an
abundance of information about the program basics provided by Medicare
but little said about the assistance programs, other than they existed.
I
found
nothing for the public about how to become qualified to receive
assistance to help pay for the costs of the Part D program.
My motivation to tell about the methods to become eligible for help was
intensified when I met Ann. Here is her story.

Ann's Story
Ann is a widow in her eighties. She is
in
good health,
all things considered. She lives in the home that she and her husband
purchased in 1964. The same home where she raised two children and now
entertains her grandchildren. Ann and George, her late husband, worked
hard, paid off the house early and saved a little bit of money for
retirement. Now 88 years old, Ann has $27,000 left of the savings that
she and George had scraped together. Her income is only $800 per month
from Social Security and she a little bit of interest each year from
the bank that keeps her $27,000 in CD’s. Although by the
world's
standards she doesn't have much, Ann is content with her life and has
long ago accepted that her resources are limited.
Ann heard that Medicare was starting a program to help seniors with
the expenses of prescription drugs and she hoped that the program would
help her. Ann knew that she didn't use too many
prescriptions,
not like some her friends that spent as much in one month on
prescription drugs as she spent in an entire year, $1,500.
Regardless of the amount, Ann wanted some help with her $1,500 annual
prescription drug bill because she had no insurance coverage for
prescription drugs and the $125 per month for her drugs came right off
the top of her $800 per month Social Security check. It was getting
harder and harder to make the remaining $675 get all the way through
the month and sometimes there was more month than there was money.
Ann liked what she thought that she understood about the Medicare
program because it looked like it could save her about $500 per year.
Ann contacted a local social service agency and asked about assistance
programs that were available to help her pay for this prescription
drug program. They asked her about her income and when she told them
that her total monthly income was just a little over $800 per month,
they told her that her income qualified her for the full subsidy
program in the program. Ann was delighted, for a moment, and then
they asked her about her assets and she told them about the $27,000 in
CD's and as they responded, her excitement turned to great
disappointment. The $27,000 in CD's, the last of Ann and George's
savings for old age, was now disqualifying her from receiving any help
toward the payment of the program's costs. One moment it looked
like she would save almost $100 per month and the next no help at all.
Ann was really disheartened!
Ann's son looked at the situation and thought that there must be a way
to get her help and he called me. Ann and her story started a
mission to examine and understand the real rules on qualification for
help to pay for the costs of this program. A program that is supposed
to help senior citizens afford the increasing costs of prescription
drugs!

Ann's and Mary's and Don's and Chet's and ... and ... out there

good
decisions about what you are going to do and
you
need the facts! Being a lawyer, I seem to be
biased toward providing the facts to those that need them and right now
that happens to be you. |

"The Clearest, Most
Straightforward ..."
I have heard
quite a
number of people speak about this Medicare drug benefit, in my role
as senior director for our community's Senior Center. David's
presentation on the Part D benefit and how people can become eligible
was the clearest and most straightforward presentation that I have
heard from anyone.

What is a resource
like this worth?
Let's look at Ann's situation again. She was spending $1,500 per year out of
her pocket for drugs. The base plan, without subsidy, will
save her almost $500 per year. The "partial subsidy", which was her
choice, will save her an additional $720 per year over the base plan.
Stated differently, Ann will be saving an additional $60 per month,
compared to her savings on the base plan, by becoming eligible for the
"partial subsidy" amounts for Part D. Her
total savings, as compared to her current situation of paying for her
drugs out of her budget, is $1,200+ per year or a whooping $100+ per
month!
All
Ann did to
qualify for the subsidy program that she wanted was to shift $17,000
from the category that she had it in and shift it to a type of asset
that is not counted for eligibility purposes. She
DID NOT give up control of the $17,000!
One
way
to determine what
a stream of income is worth is to calculate the amount of money that would
have to be held in deposit at a financial institution to create the
income stream. It would take $30,000
at 4% annual interest to create $100 per month of income.
Look at the
asset amount or the
monthly savings and you are looking at significant
savings!
Another
way
to look at the value of something is to determine the
replacement cost or what would it take in time and money
to get to the conclusion yourself. The probable place that you would go
to gain assistance is an attorney that is familiar with this or similar
areas of law. Depending on where you are in the country, hourly rates
for attorneys with this knowledge would likely be in the $200 to
$400/hour range. Taking the mid point of $300/hour and making the
assumption that you would probably be charged for around three hours
minimum, the attorney's
bill would be $900.
The point here is that the information
in this book is valuable AND the
savings are NOT
one time savings. The savings are annually, year
after year. If you saved $1000 per year by becoming
eligible for Part D subsidies then over the next five years you would
save $5000. You can do the math!
