Why do some agents push Medicare Advantage plans over Medigap—should I be skeptical?

Answered by 2 licensed agents

If you have an agent who pushes any certain plan you should be skeptical, and the said agent is probably not looking out for your best interest. No one plan is perfect for everyone. You need to know the differences between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans and how they could affect your healthcare.

Yes you have to be careful on who you meet with. Agents should be independent and show both options equally. Unfortunately some agents do push advantage plans because they pay more commissions. If you meet with an agent that does push one plan over another, you may want to look for someone else to help you with your options.
