New to Medicare
I can remember when my mom was new to Medicare she experienced information overload and struggled to sort through all of the information. She was determined to figure it out on her own and she was within reach of making a decision. 
Next thing that happens is the post office told her that they needed to hire someone new just to handle all of her Medicare fliers.
As she began reading each Medicare mailer she went from being confident to utterly confused. Does she get a medicare supplement plan A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M, or N or does she pick a Medicare Advantage plan because that is the the path that seems to provide the least resistance (at least when it comes to signing up).
Making the right choice on your own without expert help from a Medicare Insurance Agent is like throwing a dart at a wall of plans and hoping for the best.
With proper planning and help we can help you avoid possible penalties and enable you to get the most out of your Medicare benefits

It is important that you have everything you will need all in order. This way you are as prepared as you can possibly be when it is time to sign up for Medicare. Following is a checklist of things to help you come more prepared as you start to explore your options.
- Confirm you are eligible for a Medicare Supplement / Medigap plan or a Medicare Advantage Plan
- If you are leaning towards a Medicare Advantage plan do you qualify for a Special Needs Plan that may serve me better.
- Put together a list of medications you are on and the dosage of each

- List of your must have Hospitals, Medical clinics, Cancer Center Facilities and so on.

- Get one of us on your side so we can provide you with all the needed help. Our help is free and we are always available to answer your questions.
