Occasionally I get leads that have TRICARE benefits. Are there any gaps in their senior health coverage that can addressed by an insurance product? Or better to just let them be on their merry way?
I recently just ran into this and was under the impression that if you signed up anyone for a MAPD plan it would cancel their Tricare...I was wrong.
I was told, Tricare would still p/u co-pays & she could still use them for her drugs (it's cheaper), but didn't give her any vision/hearing benefits or dental... Like a reg supp plan (I couldn't confirm that).
This lady's grandson had just moved away & she had to give her car away, so having free rides, dental & a 24hr nurse line to call was extremely important to her, so I signed her up. She also had only been seeing 1 Dr, and he was in the plan.
I thoroughly explained to her, she would no longer have the freedom to go to any Dr but she could go back if she didn't like it... She wanted to sign up.
