In the "Medicare Advantage Minute" we learn that many Medicare Advantage insurance companies have stopped paying sales commissions to agents that sell some of their Medicare Advantage and Part D prescription drug plans.

Later in the episode we receive the same interesting news from Blue Shield of California. How does a company expect to sell products through insurance brokers without paying sales commissions?

In the "Your Medicare Benefits 2025" segment we learn how Medicare is likely to handle claims for Mental Health Care (Partial Hospitalization).

Finally, client Larry reported that Globe Life of NY was planning to increase the monthly premium of the HDG plan he and his wife have been enrolled in. What he may not have realized is that it was the first rate increase in four years...unheard of for any but the much-maligned HDG supplement plans!
