Geisinger Gold Reserve Medicare Medical Savings Accounts.....A Simplified Explanation!

If your wondering how to save money on your Medicare Supplement expenses, this new plan can save you money now and in the future.

Medicare Medical Savings Accounts.....A Simple Explanation 

Step 1) A checking account is created for the client, and $1500 is deposited in that account by the Insurance Company.

Step 2) When the initial deposit of $1500 from the company is spent on health care expenses, the beneficiary will then be responsible for the next $1500 of medical expenses.

Step 3) After the total of $3000 is spent out-of- pocket, the beneficiary has now met their deductible for the year. All Medicare Part A and Part B expenses are covered by the plan for the balance of the year. 

Any money that is not used from the initial company deposit of $1500 is rolled over each year with no limit.
