We believe that everything we do is about forming relationships! In that spirit, I would like to introduce us.
My wife Pam and I (Rich Lewis) started Medicare Mentors 3 years ago. Below is the story behind Medicare Mentors and why we are so passionate about what we are privileged to do!
I am sure we have a few Air Force Veterans reading this. I started out at the Air Force Academy (AFA) in Colorado Springs, CO. Sadly, after 3 days I was kicked out… for being a cry baby… The rest of the story… I was born at the AFA and grew up in Colorado Springs. My dad spent 34 years in the Army and retired in Colorado Springs. After college, I followed in my dad’s path and joined the Army. I retired after 22 years of service in back in my hometown and found myself taking care of my parents.
One day, in 2012, my brother and I were in the ER with my dad. A nurse asked my dad for his insurance information. He pulled out his rolodex, otherwise known as a wallet, and gave her his military ID, his Medicare card, and his Medicare Supplement card. The nurse looked everything over and handed them back. She asked my dad why he had a Medicare Supplement plan. My dad told her it was to cover things that Medicare and Tricare didn't pay for. She explained that between Medicare and Tricare (Tricare For Life) all was covered, the Medicare Supplement was not paying for anything. I saw the look on my dad's face go from pain to anger. I asked my dad what was wrong. He told me that he had been paying over $300 a month for a Medicare Supplement for he and my mom for the past 10 years (over $36,000) and it was not paying for a thing! My brother and I were shocked and saddened. Understand, my dad spent over 30 years in the military. He was involved in the stand up of NORAD and was part of the development of the Patriot missile system. He was a brilliant man that researched everything! Even so, Medicare was and still is VERY confusing. That confusion cost my dad over $36,000!
