Doctor’s Advice…Get Traditional Medicare…What’s That?
Good Morning Toni:
Have been reading your column for over a year and now I need some Medicare help. I am retiring and turning 65 in October. I had a triple bi-pass in April of this year. Last week I talked with the office manager at my cardiologist’s office about me getting on Medicare and what I should do. She said for me to enroll in “Traditional Medicare”. I have no idea what “Traditional Medicare” is?
Could you please explain this and make it easy to understand? I do not want to enroll in the wrong plan and help me shape my Medicare. Thank You, Samuel

I will make this as simple as I can. I have consulted with confused Americans who have a PHD in higher education and understanding Medicare just frustrates them. It can make a grown man want to “cry”!
I sense confusion on this subject because doctor’s office managers advise…
