Everything you need to know about Medicare Advantage plans for 2013 and beyond.

Sept. 25, 2012 - PRLog -- East Northport, New York - September, 25 2012 - Many seniors are concerned about the numerous changes to the 2013 Medicare Advantage plans and how they will be affected. The outlook for Medicare recipients in general for the coming years is bleak to say the least. Medicare benefit changes are coming as the federal government is going to find ways to cut expenditures at the beneficiary’s expense.  The political climate in the United States demands that reimbursement to healthcare providers will come under pressure. It is very likely that overall, Medicare coverage’s will be significantly impacted for all beneficiaries who rely on the Medicare system for healthcare.

President Obama's budget will cut access and care unless reforms produce the required savings. Regardless, Medicare will implement automatic cuts of up to 27 percent to healthcare providers. These draconian cuts will force Medicare’s outdated reimbursement schedule to be reformed. Ultimately hospitals and doctors will stop or limit the amount of Medicare patients that they see to reduce their income losses. So, the more immediate danger to recipients is a decrease in choice and the number of providers in their area. This should concern all seniors who rely on Medicare in combination with an insurance carrier to provide their healthcare, regardless of whether they use Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna or other insurance provider to deliver their healthcare benefits.

Being fully informed on future events that will affect your healthcare and options to combat the negative impact of those changes is the best protection you have in an ever changing world to maintain your health.
