📣 A Message to All of My Medicare Clients & Friends
I wanted to take a moment to clear up some of the misinformation that’s been circulating lately.
🚫 Please remember:
✅ Do NOT give your personal information to anyone who calls you unexpectedly. Telemarketers are becoming more convincing every day.
✅ The current government administration is NOT getting rid of Medicare or Medicare Part D prescription drug plans.
✅ Medicaid is NOT going away. However, beginning in 2027, Ohio’s Medicaid program will be changing. Individuals who are full dual eligible (Medicare and Medicaid) will eventually need to choose from one of the approved Medicaid plans for their coverage beginning in January 2027. You can remain on your current Medicaid plan through the end of this year, and I’ll be here to help guide my clients through those changes when it’s time.
Today, one of my clients called me because someone had contacted them claiming their Medicare benefits needed to be “updated.” The caller even gave a name to sound legitimate.
Please don’t fall for it.
🔹 Medicare does not call you to update your plan.
🔹 Social Security does not call asking for your personal information.
🔹 I am not calling clients asking them to “update” their Medicare over the phone.
These are common telemarketing tactics designed to get your Medicare number, Social Security number, banking information, or other personal details.
📅 October 15 through December 7 is the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP). This is the time each year when you can compare your current Medicare plan pro with the plans available for the following year. If, after reviewing your options, you’re happy with your current coverage, you don’t have to make any changes for January 2027.
As always, my clients will receive information from me explaining any important updates and changes before AEP begins.
❤️ If you’re ever unsure about a phone call, letter, text message, email, or advertisement, please call me first. I’d much rather answer a quick question than have someone become the victim of a scam.
Thank you for trusting me to help you navigate Medicare. I’m always here for you!
