It's easy to get caught in the weeds! Please work with a local agent who has access to a variety of companies. They can work with you to explain the options in your area and find a plan that fits your needs. There is never a fee to work with an agent.

It's no secret that trying to understand the different parts of Medicare can be overwhelming. Navigating the world of Medicare is challenging. Enrolling can be difficult, but with guidance, it becomes easier. However, enrollment in Medicare A and B is just the first step!!! 

You have a choice to make. Which option will best help you cover what Medicare doesn't? That involves choosing between a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) with a stand-alone Prescription Drug Plan or a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan. There could also be penalties you are not aware of.

I understand the unique concerns you face. It can be tough to find trustworthy information. I am here to provide the clarity and direction you need to move into this next stage of your life with confidence and ease.

I recommend that clients sit down with a professional who knows how to assist them. I don't recommend working with someone over the phone. Find someone local who has good reviews and let them assist you.

First, I examine the client's current health condition as well as any concerns they may have about the future, and then I tell them what options are available.

Ultimately, it is the client who makes the decision, so I believe it is the agent's job to help them find the answer.

Medicare can be very complex and confusing, you can be new to Medicare and feel overwhelmed by all the terms, but even people on Medicare for years can still find themselves overwhelmed when looking at switching plans. This is why it is so important to work with a local Medicare agent or broker that is licensed and able to explain plan benefits and copays. Having a Medicare broker or agent should never cost you anything to be their client. If you decide to switch or enroll with one you may contact them with any questions you have on your plan, instead of calling a carrier yourself. ALLOW ONE INITIAL APPOINTMENT with an agent before contacting them with questions or concerns.

I would advise them to seek counsel with a Licensed Medicare agent. The agent can explain in detail all of their options. I also recommend reading your Medicare handbook that Medicare sends to close to your aging in date. I also provide that for my clients. I am well versed in Medicare and I won't put anyone on a plan until I know they understand everything.

Find a local advisor you can trust that will sit down with you & explain the options to you. Usually once you have it all explained, it's not so overwhelming. One of my most important tasks is making my client's lives easier.
