What are some ways to ensure your parents feel supported during the Medicare decision-making process?

Navigating Medicare can be confusing. Having someone come in a talk with parents and have a family member present at the meeting so everyone understands the basics of Medicare is vitally important.

Plan options and going over the plans and comparing them is extremely important to find the plan that best fits their needs.

It's important that if a Broker comes in to talk with the parent they are simplifying the process and giving adequate time for discuss and questions at the same time building trust that the Broker has the client's best interest at heart.

Every individual is different, And a good representative should match up your needs with a plan that’s best for you.
