The Medicare Annual Enrollment period is from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7. This is the time you can review your current Medicare plans and make changes to start the first of next year.
It can be a daunting task with so much information to filter through. From TV commercials to phone calls and mail, it seems everyone wants to enroll you in their plan. This year there are over 70 different plans available in Arizona — no wonder it is intimidating. My husband turned 65 this year and I have seen first-hand the amount of mail and phone calls that have been targeting him with his Medicare choice.
As I meet with people, I hear how nice it is to actually talk with someone instead of ending up in an endless loop or speaking with an automated voice. I realize these have their place, but something as important as making a choice about your health coverage needs an actual person who can talk to you, understand your specific needs, and help guide you.
Please don’t turn to the 1-800 centers. Instead, look for a local Medicare agent. I am certified with many carriers and can help you pick a plan that will work best for you. If you are new to Medicare or just want to have an opportunity to review your current plans, please feel free to call me or send me an email and schedule an appointment. We can do an in-home meeting or a phone call. I look forward to hearing from you.
