Ask us anything about confusing Medicare coverage questions. Consumer Reports and Chapter can help.

I’m Lisa Gill, an investigative reporter with Consumer Reports, and I’m joined by an independent Medicare advisor from Chapter, Doug Hall. Between us, we spend a lot of time helping people understand Medicare and untangling their questions. Things get confusing fast, especially if you’re dealing with caregiving or a serious health issue. 

Here are some of the questions we saw in a recent internal webinar:

  • Can you use your remaining HSA balance to pay Medicare premiums?
  • How can you switch from Medicare Advantage to Medigap?
  • Are Medicare Advantage premiums subject to IRMAA charges?
  • Any info on whether Medicare will start covering GLP-1 drugs for obesity, for people without diabetes?

If you need help with Medicare enrollment, have questions about your coverage, or are helping a parent or loved one, ask us anything.

Here's our proof:

AUA: The latest results of our electric vehicle range real-world tests are in. Ask CR about how we conducted our tests.

We recently range-tested 14 EVs to see how far they can travel on the highway and compared their advertised ranges to their real-world results. Some vehicles either exceed or fall short of their advertised range rating by tens of miles, while others are quite close to it. To date, we’ve tested 45 EVs. Let’s chat about the results.
