ARE YOU READY FOR AEP?
The Medicare Annual Election Period (AEP) is upon us again. AEP is Oct. 15–Dec 7. Annual Election Period is the time of year when Medicare allows you to change your Medicare Part D prescription drug plan and your Medicare Part C Medicare Advantage plan. AEP is also the time of year when the insurance companies announce all plan changes: The prices change, the medications change, the networks change, etc. Checking your medications is critical because even if your medications have not changed, your plan might have. You may discover that a medication is no longer covered, or it is covered at a high tier and copay. Many a time I receive phone calls in January when a client discovered a medication was not covered or covered at an exorbitant price. There’s little you can do about your Part D plan when AEP is over. Now is the time to double- check and adjust. Medicare Part C/Medicare Advantage plans announce changes as well. If you are unhappy with your Medicare Advantage plan or are looking for lower copays, AEP is the time to review your options. Or would you like the lower outpatient surgery copay on one plan over the one you currently use? AEP is the time to switch. Please email us your medication list with dosages, preferred pharmacy, the name of your current plan, and other relevant details. We will run the medications through our software, and it will calculate which of the plans cover your drugs while maximizing your budget. I also only use plans that provide you
with quality care that best fits your health needs.
Medicare has a five-star rating system that covers over 50 different areas. Five stars are the highest rating. One star is the lowest rating. We will get back to you with our recommendation before the end of AEP on Dec 7. We can take care of everything over the phone, but you can come in, too, if you wish. Many of your friends and family likely enrolled with an agent years ago, and they’ve since disappeared. Some people do it over the phone or online, and they don’t have an agent. Problems arise, and they need help figuring out what to do or where to go. Share our information with your family and friends on Medicare or going on Medicare. Many of you have, and we appreciate it! I have received hundreds of referrals over the years. Your testimonials on Google, BBB, and Facebook have inspired others to contact us about their Medicare needs. Thank you very much for your kind five-star recommendations. Do a kindness for your family and friends. Medicare is confusing. Many are overpaying for their supplements. Others are missing out on all that is available to them with their Medicare plans. Some are unnecessarily being hit with wallet-killing drug costs. Could you send them our way? We don’t cost anything. We will talk with them. If we can help and it’s a good fit, we’ll improve their Medicare situation. Have them call 402-614-3389 to speak with an experienced, licensed insurance agent professional.
