GOT MEDICARE? DO I NEED AN AGENT?

Aug 28, 2016

Why do I need a Medicare Insurance Broker/Agent?  I’ve already got a plan!

Many of you on Medicare may have enrolled years ago and felt that your plan has been just fine and no need to make any changes. Perhaps you initially enrolled by calling an Insurance Company directly or had an agent enroll you during the Annual Enrollment period, BUT... did you know that the person that had helped you may no longer be in this field, or were a telesales agent of which you would not hear from to do a review?

Medicare plans DO change every year! Perhaps not in an obvious way. If you have a $5 or $10 copay to see your doctor, you most likely are on an old/outdated plan. Guess what…Your friends may be seeing that same doctor at $0 copay.

By finding a Medicare Broker to help you each year, you would have your personal agent that is looking out for your specific needs. You might be thinking, won't that cost me something? The answer is NO. We are a resource to help guide seniors so they can make their own best decisions. You need to trust someone in this field. Start that relationship now.

A broker does not work for any one company/carrier and therefore can offer a number of different plans. Find that person that lives in your area. They will be much better equipped to know the doctors, hospitals, and plans that are local.

I personally am so pleased to announce my partnering with Bridlewood Insurance (Voted #1 Agency in San Diego) we are their Orange County Branch. We are all independent agents, but come together to help you. Feel Free to reach out to any one us…We are ALL Certified and Licensed Insurance Agents/Brokers serving the Orange County area. You might recognize some of us from your local neighborhoods.
