Common questions
What's the difference between Medicare Advantage and a Medicare Supplement (Medigap)?
They're two different ways to round out Original Medicare, and they work very differently. Medicare Advantage plans bundle your coverage (often including extras) through a private insurer's network, usually with copays as you use care. Medigap works alongside Original Medicare to help cover out-of-pocket costs, with broader provider access and more predictable monthly costs. Neither is "better" - the right fit depends on your doctors, prescriptions, travel, and budget. We walk you through the trade-offs so the choice is clear.
What does "independent" mean, and why does it matter?
It means we aren't tied to a single insurance company. Instead of fitting you into one company's products, we can compare options across the carriers we represent and help you weigh them objectively. That said, we don't offer every plan in the area - so we'll always encourage you to confirm your full options through Medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE too.
I'm turning 65 - what do I need to do, and when?
Your Initial Enrollment Period is a 7-month window: the 3 months before your 65th-birthday month, the month itself, and the 3 months after. That's the time to enroll in Medicare and decide how you want to round out your coverage. Starting early in that window helps your coverage begin on time. The simplest first step is a no-cost conversation so nothing important gets missed.
Can I keep my doctors and prescriptions?
Often yes - but it depends on the plan, so it's worth checking before you enroll rather than after. As part of a no-cost review we can help you look at whether your doctors and medications line up with the options you're considering, so there are no surprises in January.
What happens after I enroll - am I on my own?
Not with us. A lot of agencies disappear after enrollment; we stay with you year-round for questions, card or coverage issues, and the annual review. The relationship is the point - we'd rather be your long-term Medicare resource than a one-time transaction.
