You do realize Medicare pays the Insurers big bucks each month to cover each of their Medicare Advantage customers right?

This is from 2012, probably more now.... $838 per month X 12 = $10,056.00 per year at least.
There are also other plans and special circumstances that would have CMS paying more per month on behalf of the beneficiary.


Medicare Advantage Monthly Capitation Rates for 2012 for All Plans except PACE Plans [download id="20"] showed Medicare Advantage Plans were paid $838 per month in Sacramento and $850 in Placer counties for plans with 4.0 STAR rating. In an effort to reward customer satisfaction and efficiency, reimbursement rates are also adjusted based upon the plan’s STAR rating. There are also other plans and special circumstances that would have CMS paying more per month on behalf of the beneficiary.
