🚨”They call 15 times PER DAY” Seniors inundated with “Medicare” calls ahead of Open Enrollment

Seniors in our community are reporting 15 or more daily calls from people claiming to help with Medicare. Most are scams.

A real Medicare agent will:
✅Tell you who they work
✅Have a physical office you can visit
✅Ask about YOUR situation, not force decisions
✅Never ask for your Medicare number unsolicited
✅Be part of your local community

Scammers will:
🚫Never identify their company
🚫Promise "free" upgrades, new cards, or benefits
🚫Ask for personal info over the phone
🚫Use high-pressure tactics
🚫Disappear after they get what they want

It’s important to know the difference between SCAMMERS🕵️and a LOCAL Medicare professional👨‍🏫

Annual Enrollment is coming. You SHOULD talk to someone about your Medicare options. Just make sure it's someone local, experienced and trusted…

📣3 out of 4 Medicare beneficiaries DID NOT get professional help in 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣

But that will change this Annual Enrollment Period

This week’s Medicare Minute we highlight a new trend:

“33% of Medicare beneficiaries plan to seek professional guidance during Open Enrollment.”
📈
That means over 500k MORE beneficiaries will make an appointment to discuss Medicare changes this fall.
Making this one of the chaotic Enrollment Periods in the history of Medicare.

Do you have family or friends who need assistance with Medicare decisions? 💭

Don’t wait to make an appointment 📅 We expect this to be our busiest Annual Enrollment Period to date❗️

📣Your Medicare Plan May Change in 2027

Humana announced it's exiting several Medicare Advantage markets in 2027—affecting 600,000 members. While that's not everyone, it's a reminder that the plans we depend on can change, sometimes without much notice.

This is why experienced guidance matters. In 2026, we warned our clients that this carrier would be exiting popular plans and reducing service areas.

An experienced broker doesn't just enroll you once and disappear. We review your coverage annually and make recommendations based on our years of experience.

We know the market. We anticipate changes. We make sure you have the information you need to make informed decisions.

🗓️Annual Enrollment Period is Oct 15 - Dec 7
Make your appointment now.
Let's talk about your 2027 plan. Free consultation.

⚠️Medicare Part D set to rise as Medicare Prescription Drug Plan subsidies end in 2027

A temporary government program that helped keep Part D premiums lower is ending after 2026, so some standalone Part D plans may see premium increases in 2027

⭐️Medicare Advantage members are likely to notice little or no direct impact because Part D coverage is built into their MA plans

⭐️Standalone Part D (PDP) enrollees, especially those with Medigap, are the group most likely to see premium changes

🗓️This makes the Annual Enrollment Period (October 15–December 7) even more important. Shopping drug plans each year could save clients significant money.

The good news? We’ll review your coverage during Annual Enrollment to make sure you’re in the plan that best fits your needs and budget.
