Her air-ambulance ride wasn't covered by Medicare. It will cost her family $81,739

It's doubtful that mom saddled her heirs with anything. This bill will probably never get paid.

It's doubtful that mom had a lot assets that needed to be probated. All her heirs would need to do is avoid probate.

Still not worth the risk. Medicaid would have carved out her premium and paid it for her.

She owned a farm worth 3 tomrs the bill. They csn put a lean against it.

They already put a claim in against her estate.
No one could have put her in a Hi Ded plan or MAPD because she declined part B.

This is a good article to show dummies who want to not take B.

There are people who will always make the wrong decision. And they will fight you to make it.
We've all seen some variation of it.
You get a client out of a big bind and the minute you get it straightened out they screw it up.......again. It's just who they are.

You know why you don't try and teach a pig to sing? It irritates the pig.........

My state, no will or trust, goes to probate. $80K? There will be a claim against the estate. Might not lose the entire 80K but could lose a portion. If she wanted to save premium, someone should have suggested Hi Deductible Supp or moved her to a MA plan.

Maybe she will set up a Go " I am too cheap to buy insurance" Fund Me Account

someone should have suggested Hi Deductible Supp or moved her to a MA plan.

I was not aware that someone can get an HD Medigap or MA plan with only Part A.

What kind of sorcery is this?

The article left out the part where she actually gets to keep the helicopter so it's not all bad.
