Geisinger Gold Reserve Medicare Advantage 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, the beneficiary will then be responsible for the next $1500 in 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.
