Medicare/Medicaid/PPO?

[Striving2btheBest]

First I would like to thank you for your time. I wanted to ask if I have a prospect that has medicare and medicaid is it best to put them in a PPO plan or a dual plan? I am new to this forum and I wanted to get an expert opinion on this topic. I know some states don't offer a dual plan so a Medicare advantage plan would coordinate with medicaid but if a state offers a dual plan is it best to go with the dual plan?

thank you so much.

There is rarely much of an advantage for a full dual to go into an MA plan UNLESS it's a SNP specific for duals.

If your prospect is full dual, what is the advantage to them to go into a PPO?

I understand what you are saying. Though Dental benefits and Vision Benefits may be a benefit I understand what you are saying. A dual plan if available in the area would be best, however if its not available then would a PPO be a good recommendation?

Happy to discuss this with you. Send me your phone number via email and I'll spend some time with this.

In fact, I recently did a webinar on pretty much this same subject.

I've done very well with duals but you need to have the "hot button."

What about a full dual PPO?

Kind of like a SNP specific for duals? Good answer...
