Questions To Ask Your Medicare Insurance Professional

For many people, especially those who had their health insurance options provided through work, selecting a Medicare insurance option can be confusing.  There are Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans … there are Medicare Advantage options … and that’s just the beginning.

It’s an important choice – because when you need healthcare – the choices you make now are going to determine your care options down the road.

For that reason, we recommend working with what we call a Medicare insurance specialist.  That’s someone who is willing to educate consumers and help them select the best option for their needs and budget.

ONE COMPANY – or MULTIPLE COMPANIES?  Some insurance agents can only offer Medicare insurance from one company.  Some (typically referred to as brokers) can offer policies from multiple companies.  Here’s what you should ask: “how many Medicare insurance companies are you appointed to sell?”.  Appointed is industry jargon that means they can sell you a policy (and earn a commission for doing so).

WHAT IS THE COMPANY’S HISTORY OF RATE INCREASES?  The lowest rate may seem attractive but rates can change and so it is important to ask the agent or broker you are working with about the company’s recent record of rate increases.
