A Wiser Retirement®

In 2025, Medicare will eliminate the Part D coverage gap, cap out-of-pocket prescription costs at $2,000, and offer a payment plan. Some Georgia Medicare Advantage plans will not renew, allowing members to switch plans or join Medigap without underwriting. The Part B premium will rise to $185/month, and fraud risks are expected to increase. Tune in to this episode of A Wiser Retirement® Podcast as Casey Smith and Logan Steele, from Steele Choice Insurance, dive into the details of these upcoming Medicare changes.
