Frequently Asked Questions
I'm turning 65 while still working with employer coverage. Do I need to sign up for Medicare?
If your employer has 20 or more employees, your group health plan is primary (Medicare is secondary), and you can delay Part B enrollment without penalty as long as the employer coverage is active. You should enroll in Part A (hospital) at 65 since it's premium-free for most people and there's no reason to delay. When you retire or your employer coverage ends, you have an 8-month Special Enrollment Period to sign up for Part B without a late enrollment penalty. If your employer has fewer than 20 employees, the situation is reversed — Medicare is primary even with employer coverage, and you should generally enroll in both Part A and Part B at 65. Confirm your employer size with HR.
What is the difference between Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO plans in Seminole County?
Medicare Advantage HMO plans require you to select a primary care physician (PCP) within the network, get referrals to see specialists, and generally receive all care from network providers (except emergencies). They typically have lower premiums and lower out-of-pocket maximums. PPO plans allow you to see any Medicare-accepting provider without referrals — network providers cost less, but out-of-network coverage is available at higher cost-sharing. For Spring Valley residents with established specialist relationships outside a potential HMO network, or who want flexibility without referrals, a PPO provides more freedom. For those primarily using one health system and wanting the lowest monthly cost, an HMO may serve well.
How do I change my Medicare plan if my doctor leaves the network?
If your Medicare Advantage plan's provider directory changes so that your current doctor is no longer in-network, this may qualify as a "significant" plan change that triggers a Special Enrollment Period (SEP). CMS rules require plans to notify members when network changes occur mid-year. If the change is material, affected members may receive an SEP to switch plans. Contact the plan first to understand whether the doctor's departure triggers an SEP. Outside of SEPs, you can switch plans during the Annual Enrollment Period (October 15–December 7) or during the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period (January 1–March 31). A licensed Medicare advisor can confirm your specific rights based on your situation.
How do I compare Part D drug plans for my specific medications?
Medicare's Plan Finder at medicare.gov is the definitive tool for drug plan comparison. Enter your specific medications, dosages, and preferred pharmacy. The tool calculates estimated annual drug costs — premium plus cost-sharing — for every Part D plan available in your county. Key factors beyond the monthly premium: the tier placement of your drugs in each plan (Tier 1 generic through Tier 5 specialty), whether prior authorization is required for any of your medications, whether step therapy is required (generic must be tried before brand covered), and whether your pharmacy is in the plan's preferred network. A local Medicare advisor can help you interpret the results and identify which plans have stable formulary management histories.
What is the Medicare Savings Program and do Spring Valley residents qualify?
The Medicare Savings Program (MSP) is a Medicaid-funded program that helps low-income Medicare beneficiaries with premium and cost-sharing costs. The four levels — Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB), Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB), Qualifying Individual (QI), and Qualified Disabled Working Individual (QDWI) — each cover different combinations of Part A and Part B premiums and cost-sharing. In 2025, income limits for the QMB level are approximately $1,275/month individual and $1,724/month for couples (limits adjusted annually). Apply through the Florida Department of Children and Families. Beneficiaries who qualify for QMB also automatically qualify for the Extra Help / LIS program for Part D drug costs.
