Ed, and his group, is perhaps the most knowledgeable in PA for healthcare. Note that while Ed has major misgivings with ACA, he has taken the time to read the legislation, and to understand it's implications, and to provide advice to his customers based on reality, not some right or left wing fantasy. If you want actual information on healthcare, talk to Ed and his group.-Bruce McIntyre

Thank you for you great assistance and explanations through this insurance maze for Nancy and I….click here to read the letter from Dr Strong
Ed and his staff were very helpful in getting me through the open enrollment process and answered my mother's questions with her Medicare enrollment. Most companies are only a phone call away, if you call during normal business hours. Ed responded to my questions and was very helpful when I sent a message over the weekend. Amazing customer service! -Fibrenew Lower Bucks

I’ve been working with Total Benefits Solutions for many years now. Every year they run the numbers for comparison of the prescription plans available to supplement my Medicare plan. She does a fantastic job, even recommending plans that don’t work with brokers (no commission to them). (they) found health care plans for me before I went on Medicare as well. Do yourself a favor. Call them. You will be glad you did! -Brenda M

Medicare Supplements or Medigap Plans
A Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policy, sold by private companies, can help pay some of the health care costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover, like copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles.
Some Medigap policies also offer coverage for services that Original Medicare doesn’t cover, like medical care when you travel outside the U.S. If you have Original Medicare and you buy a Medigap policy, Medicare will pay its share of the Medicare-approved amount for covered health care costs. Then your Medigap policy pays its share.
A Medigap policy is different from a Medicare Advantage Plan. Those plans are ways to get Medicare benefits, while a Medigap policy only supplements your Original Medicare benefits.
8 things to know about Medigap policies
- You must have Medicare Part A and Part B.
- If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan, you can apply for a Medigap policy, but make sure you can leave the Medicare Advantage Plan before your Medigap policy begins.
- You pay the private insurance company a monthly premium for your Medigap policy in addition to the monthly Part B premium that you pay to Medicare.
- A Medigap policy only covers one person. If you and your spouse both want Medigap coverage, you’ll each have to buy separate policies.
- You can buy a Medigap policy from any insurance company that’s licensed in your state to sell one.
- Any standardized Medigap policy is guaranteed renewable even if you have health problems. This means the insurance company can’t cancel your Medigap policy as long as you pay the premium.
- Some Medigap policies sold in the past cover prescription drugs, but Medigap policies sold after January 1, 2006 aren’t allowed to include prescription drug coverage. If you want prescription drug coverage, you can join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (Part D).
- It’s illegal for anyone to sell you a Medigap policy if you have a Medicare Medical Savings Account (MSA) Plan.
Medigap policies don’t cover everything. Medigap policies generally don’t cover long-term care, vision or dental care, hearing aids, eyeglasses, or private-duty nursing.
Medigap policies do not have an annual open enrollment period. The best time to buy a Medigap policy is during your 6-month Medigap open enrollment period. Click here for more information from medicare.gov about when to buy Medigap.
