-: I'm Bernice.
And this is my husband, Pat.
I didn't know anything about Medicare.
We've seen other people that had Medicare.
And I also did some reading on Medicare
and I knew it wasn't enough.
-: My wife met an agent for Medical Insurance
and he did such a good job for us.
Everything worked out.
Whatever he told us to do seem to work so well.
He helped us every year.
We sit down with him every year
and he gives us some guidance
on what the best plan is for us.
And since I've retired and it's been a couple of years now,
that's the direction we've gone
was with the MA plan, because it fit our needs.
-: I had a heart attack in 2018.
And so the Medicare Advantage plan
covered most of the bill.
It worked out well and I got really good care.
Four times a year, each of us get $50 worth of OTCs.
Pat: It's general medical supplies that you'd buy anyway.
Tylenol, aspirin, stuff that you,
on a routine basis, are going to be buying.
So we make sure we take advantage of that.
It's a big perk.
Bernice: We received a gift card
when the doctor came out to our home.
We receive a gift card when we have our annual physical.
Another perk that we found
was that they encourage exercising.
And so if you have some type of monitor, like a Fitbit.
-: You sync the device with their system
and they can monitor you.
And whenever we hit our goal of 7,500 steps in a day,
we get five bucks.
-: It's it's really simplified our medical.
-: I think, simply put, Medicare Advantage works.
