Private Medicare Replacement Plans
The name Medicare Advantage is vague AND misleading. Considering that CMS doesn't want agents to use superlatives such as " best or mo better " why do they label this program as " Advantage " That word has connotations and could be considered as steering beneficiaries into the program.
Now that the privatization of Medicare is in full swing we as agents will take the fall for overly confusing and convoluted program.The customer service departments at the MA carriers and 1-800-Medicare ( by the way they are vendors) is now the " would you like to file a complaint department" This is much less work for them.
