About Me
Hi, I’m Russell Haas, a local independent Medicare insurance broker and Registered Social Security Analyst® serving clients throughout Connecticut.
I help people make sense of two of the biggest retirement decisions they will face: Medicare and Social Security. Many people look at these separately, but the timing of Medicare, retirement, income, spousal benefits, and Social Security claiming can all work together.
As a Medicare broker, I help clients compare Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, and Prescription Drug plan options. As a Registered Social Security Analyst®, I help individuals and couples understand Social Security claiming strategies and how those decisions may affect their lifetime retirement income.
My approach is personal, educational, and straightforward. I take the time to explain your options clearly so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
I am based in Naugatuck, Connecticut, and work with clients throughout the state, often meeting face-to-face. Whether you are turning 65, retiring soon, working past Medicare age, or wondering when to claim Social Security, I can help you understand the bigger picture.
Q&A with Russell Haas, RSSA
What are the reasons why I should work with a Medicare agent?
Answer: Working with a Medicare agent makes life easier. A good agent helps you understand your choices, keeps you from making costly mistakes, and makes sure your doctors and medicines are covered. You don’t pay anything extra to get this help, and you get someone you can call anytime you have questions. A Medicare agent also checks your plan every year to make sure it still fits your needs as your health and life change.
What is one of the the most common misconceptions people have about Medicare?
Answer: One of the biggest misconception's I hear all the time is, if you want to take Medicare you have to take your social security benefits. Although both are administered by the Social Security Administration, these are two separate programs. This isn't a two way road however, if you want to take social security benefits and NOT Medicare, be aware you will automatically be signed up for Part A and B once turning 65. The only one you can opt out of will be B at that time.
