Medicare Insurance Plan Choices Matter


I read a interesting Hearld-Tribune article about Medicare by Barbara Peters Smith, so I thought I’d share some of the info in the article. 

One of the main take away points I found to be interesting was this sentence below:

"All the tricky decisions involved in signing up for Medicare can be daunting — which is why only 13 percent of beneficiaries, on average, bother to switch their plans during the open-enrollment period each fall.”1

As an independent insurance agent that handles different insurance carriers, I take care of new clients with a personal touch including patience. I thoroughly explain different Medicare insurance plan options available to them. Then after explaining, I have them choose which Medicare Insurance plan they feel best fits their needs and enroll them in the plan of their choosing.

Then later on in the years with my existing clients, as a courtesy during AEP (Annual Enrollment Period): I try to call my existing Medicare clients each year to give a brief overview of changes in their Medicare insurance plans from their current year to the upcoming year and ask if they are still happy with their existing insurance plan.

It is important to review your Medicare insurance plan for changes from year to year. What might have been good last year for you, may not necessarily still be good for you the upcoming year.

Note: Medicare Insurance information can be overwhelming and confusing to many people. As an independent licensed agent I can explain things to you in simple terms so you feel comfortable making a decision. Then I can help you choose and enroll in a plan that you feel fits your needs.

By the way, it doesn’t cost you any more if you enroll in a Medicare Insurance plan through me as an independent agent versus directly with an insurance company either over the phone or via the Internet, since I get paid by the insurance companies for your enrollment. Plus you will have personalized service by a local agent. If you would like my assistance, please call me at 941-404-5334.

By calling this number, I understand I will be directed to a licensed insurance sales agent.
