Do you need a Medicare broker?
Do you need a Medicare broker?
When you shop for a Medicare Advantage plan, there are a lot of choices to make. We’ve all seen the commercials touting $0 premiums and flex cards, which can make the decision even harder. Are those things real?
There could be dozens of plans in your area, with a wide variety of benefits. How do you know which plan is right for you?
Understanding what to research and asking the right questions are a great first step. Make shopping easier by using a licensed Medicare broker.
Check out the Top 5 reasons to work with a Medicare broker
- They’re FREE. There’s absolutely no cost for their knowledge. Brokers get paid by whichever healthcare company you choose. Their time is your time. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) sets broker compensation rates and rules.
- A broker works for YOU, not for an insurance company. A broker will work with you to find the best Medicare plan for your situation, no matter which plan or healthcare company you select. They’re going to listen to you, and that’s important.
- A broker has deep knowledge of Medicare plans. Every year, they are trained and tested on Medicare regulations and specific plan types. They review and research many plan options, and can help narrow down what's important to you, like your favorite in-network providers, or pharmacy benefits that work for your unique health situation.
- A broker can save you time in completing the enrollment process, so you don’t have to face it alone. This can lessen any frustration you may feel in signing up for Medicare.
- A broker is licensed and trustworthy, and their behavior is governed by CMS. They won't pressure you into making a decision, or call you unsolicited.
Search for broker events in your community, and attend to get a feel for an individual broker without any commitment.
Save yourself the headache this year, and let a licensed broker help find the best plan for you.
