Senior Supplement: Take Advantage Of Your Age

Do you consider yourself a senior?  Not
many people do that are approaching 65 because people are healthier than they
have ever been. The fact is there are 4000 people turning 65 every hour and at
65, whether you like it or not you are considered a senior.  There are a
lot of perk that come along with being considered a senior citizen.  There
are great discounts at restaurants, retail establishments, hotel chains and car
rental agencies.  So even if you don’t feel like you are 65, take
advantage of the number.  It could mean great savings to you and there is
another savings that you are eligible for which also great news for you.

There is another advantage of being 65 (Medigap Insurance).  As
you may know once you reach 65 you are automatically enrolled in Medicare,
which has two parts.  Medicare Part A, which is designed to help with
hospitalizations, emergency care and nursing facilities.  And Medicare
Part B will help offset doctors fee, outpatient care and medical
equipment.  Medicare Part B comes with a monthly co-pay premium that you
pay to your health insurance provider.  Traditional Medicare will pay up
to 80% of approved procedures and the remaining 20% is your
responsibility.  You may think that 20% is not that much, but if you are
ever admitted into the hospital with a severe medical condition your portion
could reach astronomical levels because there is not a cap of what you can be
charged as part of your 20%.  This is where the good news comes into
play.  Once you are enrolled in Medicare part A and B you are also
eligible to enroll in a Medigap insurance plan.  This plan,
otherwise known as a Medigap policy will save you hundreds if not thousands of
dollars on you health care costs.  Once Medicare has covered their portion
of approved procedures your senior Medigap Plans can cover up to the 20%
shortfall..

So you see, turning 65 has its benefits.
