ARE YOU NEW TO MEDICARE?

We hear from people everyday that are just turning 65, or losing their retirement benefits and need to find out what their benefits are with Medicare.

IMPORTANT: You have 6 months before, the month of, and 6 months after you turn 65

to get your Medicare Supplement with NO UNDERWRITING! That means that no matter what your health situation is…you cannot be turned down for coverage. If you are losing your retirement benefits you have 63 days to get coverage with NO UNDERWRITING. This is the only time in your life when you can get coverage that is guaranteed no matter what your health issues may be!!

Last week a lady called in to say that she was on a High Risk Insurance Plan because of her health conditions and her insurance agent told her she should KEEP this coverage because she could not qualify for anything else. She was paying over $4,500 per year for this plan. THANK GOODNESS SHE CALLED US!!!

We told her that because she was in her Open Enrollment period for Medicare she could get covered for $112.00 per month, a savings of several thousand dollars a year!!!

If you are on retirement benefits from your company, you may be paying much more than you need to for your coverage. Many times the company retirment benefits are more expensive than if you were covered individually. The reason for that is the insurance company rates the “group”, so you may be paying for your co-workers health issues. If you are turning 65, get more information before you take what is offered by your company.
