In reply to the discussion: Don't sign up for Medicare Advantage when you turn 65: [View all]allegorical oracle
(6,615 posts)Trump administration officials say they are exploring whether to automatically enroll seniors into Medicare Advantage plans, instead of traditional Medicare, if they dont actively choose a coverage option (1).
Today, people who dont make a selection are defaulted into traditional Medicare. Shifting that default to Medicare Advantage (which is run by private insurers) could quietly steer millions of beneficiaries into a different type of coverage without them realizing it.
While the proposal is still in early stages, the change could affect everything from monthly costs to which doctors you can see and how easily you can switch plans later.
