Diane is a renowned authority on Medicare and is the founder of the service, Senior Advisors for Medicare & Medicaid.

If you are dissatisfied with your Medicare Advantage Plan, from January 1st to February 14th 2016 you can drop your Medicare Advantage Plan and go back on your regular Medicare Plan. Why the cost of your premium for Medicare Part B may be higher. How delaying your Social Security Benefits may cause you to pay higher rates in Medicare Part – B. Who really pays for people on Medicare and Medicaid? The changes to Medicare Part D, your prescription drug plan, and why it will cost you more. The irons that Diane has in the fire for 2016 and beyond.
