231 Taking The Mystery Out of Medicare with Dr. Katy Votava

Medicare is a benefit that can’t start soon enough for many older adults. Health care costs are skyrocketing and they hit seniors particularly hard because many are on a fixed income and they utilize health care more. But Medicare is not a slam dunk, anything but.  It is a very complex, confusing multipart program that requires work to understand. And its benefits can vary widely depending upon how and when you apply, where you live, and what plans you enroll in.  And as your health changes, it can either help you or hurt you. You need to know how to make it work for you. A shocking statistic from Medicare guru Katy Votava is that “nearly 95% of people pay too much for their Medicare coverage… because they do not completely understand the full costs they will pay in addition to the premiums.”  With Medicare, the devil is in the details which is why we have asked benefits guru Votava to return to WEALTHTRACK and bring us up to speed.

Avoiding costly Medicare mistakes with Medicare expert Dr. Katy Votava

At some point in almost every single client meeting, we get asked how much health insurance is going to cost, what Medicare costs, how to prepare for long-term care expenses, what to budget for, and what additional coverage they should get. The healthcare space is extremely complex, and that’s why Dr. Katy Votava is highly educated within it. A registered nurse with a Ph.D. in healthcare economics and nursing, she founded GOODCARE to help consumers, small businesses, and financial advisors make the best possible plan and live their lives as effectively as possible. Today, Katy joins the podcast to tell the story of how her background as a medical caregiver helps her truly understand what people need to get great insurance, why the cost of healthcare continues to skyrocket (and what you can do to protect yourself from escalating fees), and why proper Medicare planning can be what saves you thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.
