Question

Gregg Matheny · Accepted Answer

A good representative Will usually be very easy to spot ( Medicare agents hub ). If you End up finding someone that you trust then the carrier that you go with becomes Not as important. I have several clients and I can speak from experience in saying that putting them all on the same“good” plan Is not the right thing to do. Every individual is different, And a good representative should match up your needs with a plan that’s best for you.

Find a local agent. Call that person. Ask how long in business and whether or not health insurance is the primary focus. Ask if the agent is independent and which companies he / she represents. Go see the rep in person, sit down, explain your situation and see what kind of advice you are getting. Easy / peazy!

Do a back ground check on the broker you are working with. Do a google search, Check out there referrals and network of people they work with. Make sure they have access to a majority of the medicare plans so they are not biased and sign you up with only the ones they work with

Choose an agent who is independent and can offer more than one company and has been in the Medicare market for a number of years. Select an agent who listens to you and explains how Medicare works and can help you navigate through the differences between Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage plans. This agent can help you find the plan that fits your own specific needs. A good agent will be responsive and continue to stay in touch as your healthcare needs change.

You'll want to select a reputable company and an experienced representative.  It's important to choose a representative that will take the time to explain the process, and answer all of your questions.  Medicare can be confusing, so choose wisely.  
If you have a friend that has a responsive representative, you may want to reach out to them, or you can contact me.  I pride myself with being there for my clients not only from the initial information and enrollment, but even more importantly, well into the future.

I think the best way to choose the right healthcare company is working with a broker. A broker is someone who should be independent and able to shop many carriers. If you need a no cost broker to help you look at options feel free to reach out to me.

You should plan to look at all available plans in your area and find a broker who is licensed with several products so they can help you compare your options and costs. Check with your friends, relatives, neighbors, or coworkers for a referral to an agent that they worked with that did well by them. You may also check with your local senior center as many agents advertise or offer educational seminars there.

The right healthcare company will have your physicians, and hospital(s) in their network, reasonable copays, extra benefits you want such as dental, vision, hearing, Over the Counter benefits, gym memberships and a rewards card for keeping up with your health appointments. The right representative like myself will answer the phone anytime of the day or night and if the client wants a face to face visit I will be there every time when requested.

To choose the right healthcare company and representative, research their reputation, verify credentials, consider accessibility and communication style, and ask for recommendations.

Alexander Lehn · Answer

Most healthcare companies are pretty good and are competitive on their offerings. Some things to consider would be the company's financial stability and their rates of coverage denial as well as their preferred network of doctors and hospitals. The more important side of the question is finding a good representative to work with. I advise you to contact a broker or two to get a sense of if you like them and communicate well together. Having a broker is important because they can work with whatever carrier suits you best rather than pushing you into a single option or limited offering.

Sean MacBean · Answer

This is a more profound question than it seems. I will answer it briefly by explaining the criteria you should look for in each one.

Company:
- Find a local company that has been in business for at least 20 years and focuses on Helping Seniors with their healthcare needs.
- Find a company that trains its agents well and supports them.
- Find a company that is a broker and offers many products and services, rather than being captive and only offering one product.

Agent:
- Find a full-time agent with at least 5 years of experience.
- Find a Local agent who will meet you face-to-face at your home or their office.
- Find an agent who is well-versed in multiple products and selections.
- Find an agent that is focused on saving you money.
- Find an agent who is a Health to Wealth expert to offer you the best services.

There are many more criteria for both the company and agent, but if you focus on these basics

You should do well.

perform a needs based analysis of your health and the needs of an agent to help you meet those needs; then, interview and decide on an agent that isn't into high pressure sales rather helps you properly plan for when you need insurance
