FALSE! Medicare and its mysteries can feel like a black cloud looming overhead — it’s something you heard about when you were younger, but now the time for you to make decisions about what you’ll need and sign up is quickly approaching. Many people assume they just have to bite the bullet and make appointments with the Social Security Office for advice or wade through all the stuff on Medicare.gov. But fortunately, that’s not the case.
Advising and assisting is what an insurance agent who sells Medicare Supplements does for you. At least, that’s what I do: dissipate that black cloud and hold your hand (figuratively) through the whole thing. And it won’t cost you a dime.
I will walk you through Medicare.gov and help you sign up for Original Medicare (Parts A & B), then I’ll find you the best supplement (Medigap Policy) and Prescription Drug Plan to meet your needs and budget. Since I’m not a captive agent (someone who’s locked in to one insurance company), I’m free to put your interests first and shop for the best plan and price to meet your needs. The Med Supp insurance company we select will then take care of me while you move forward with your choice of plan — and your wallet still intact!
It’s also important to remember that if you are already collecting your Social Security benefits, your enrollment in Original Medicare is automatic. Your Medicare Card will likely arrive three to four months before you turn 65. Be careful not to throw it away thinking it’s junk mail — too easy to do!
