Q&A with Althea Hooks-Young

What are the reasons why I should work with a Medicare agent?

Answer: There are many benefits to working with a medicare agent. I help you understand your options & make informed decisions along with:

1. As an agent, I can explain Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, MedSupp, & Prescription Drug plans in plain language, how each work together, & the benefits.

2. I have access to multiple carriers, which can help you compare multiple plan options quickly.

3. I ensure your doctors, pharmacies, hospitals & meds are covered by the plan(s) you’re considering.

4. I can help you identify true costs, if you qualify for any additional assistance programs, avoid enrollment mistakes & answer your questions or concerns after enrollment.

Can you get Medicare if you never worked or didn't pay into the system?

Answer: An individual can qualify for Medicare even if they never worked or paid into the system. However there will be a distinction between whether they qualify as Premium-Free Part A or if they will be required to purchase Part A coverage.
