If you’re approaching 65, you have most likely already began to receive those pesky phone calls, letters, and postcard solicitations in the mail.
Here are a few pitfalls to avoid:
- If you’re calling the 800# off the TV solicitations you see or chatting with a solicitor that has called you. Most likely they aren’t located in your area or even your state. These types of solicitors typically work for one carrier, therefore may not be the best option for you.
2. Working with a local agent is no cost to you ever! But, we can save you so much more in the long run.
3. Local agents work with several carriers, that work with your local physicians, hospital systems and pharmacies. We are also aware of plans that work best if you are dually living in two states.
4. We ask you put a list of these items together before your appointment, this way the plans are based on your specific needs.
-
- Your current prescriptions – name listed on the bottle
- The dosage of those prescriptions taken
- How many times taken per day
- A list of your current physicians and hospital facilities
Once we have the above information we research plans based on those parameters. Giving you the most tailered plan for your specific needs.
5. You have a local resource to contact once the plan is implemented, Avoiding long hold times with carriers or call centers.
6. We are small businesses that work and live in your community. What’s in your best interest is our best interest.
7. If Medicare has you confused call a local agent like myself, before falling prey to a call center. They typically care more about the commission than finding plans that truly work best for you.
