What To Ask When Choosing Medicare Agents Harris County
Here are questions to ask every Medicare agent you speak with (including those you think are working directly for the insurance company);
- How many different Medicare insurance companies are you appointed with?
- Can you discuss both Medicare Advantage and Medigap plan options?
- How long have you been licensed and selling Medicare insurance plans?
- If I have future questions, will I be speaking with you or with someone else?
Here’s why these questions are so important.
APPOINTED is insurance industry jargon. It means the agent is able to sell you plans from a particular company. And, they can earn a commission from that company. Some agents are only appointed with 1 company. That may be your best choice. But, if it isn’t, they likely won’t tell you (because they can’t earn anything).
MEDICARE ADVANTAGE is the option you see advertised all over the TV. It may be your best choice. But there may be reasons that you would be better off with Original Medicare and a Medigap plan. Some agents sell one. Others will offer both. You just want to know so you can get the complete picture.
HOW LONG matters because Medicare plans are not simple. First, there are many plans available. It takes time to really understand them. Experience counts and can benefit you.
FUTURE QUESTIONS about your Medicare coverage will always arise. That is why it’s helpful to know who you will contact when that happens. Will you be calling a toll-free call center? Benefit by having a local agent who knows you and can hopefully help you get the information and assistance you need.
