Another great reason and reminder to get signed up for our Fraud Prevention and Detection Class on May 27th!

⚠️SCAM ALERT ⚠️

The Social Security Administration (SSA) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is cautioning the public to be aware of emails that appear to be from SSA and include a link to download their Social Security statement.

Criminals continue to impersonate SSA and other government agencies in an attempt to obtain personal information or money.

Scammers might call, email, text, write, or message you on social media claiming to be from the Social Security Administration or the Office of the Inspector General. They might use the name of a person who really works there and might send a picture or attachment as “proof.”

Social Security employees do contact the public by telephone for business purposes. Ordinarily, the agency calls people who have recently applied for a Social Security benefit, are already receiving payments and require an update to their record, or have requested a phone call from the agency. If there is a problem with a person's Social Security number or record, Social Security will typically mail a letter.

These are red flags; you can trust that Social Security will never:

-Threaten you with arrest or legal action because you don't agree to pay money immediately.

-Suspend your Social Security number.

-Claim to need personal information or payment to activate a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) or other benefit increase.

-Pressure you to take immediate action, including sharing personal information.

-Ask you to pay with gift cards, prepaid debit cards, wire transfers, cryptocurrency, or by mailing cash.

-Threaten to seize your bank account.

-Offer to move your money to a “protected” bank account.

-Demand secrecy.

-Direct message you on social media.

Hey everyone! The Annual Enrollment Period for Medicare plans will be starting from October 15th to December 7th. There will be many changes in the plans offered for 2025, so it will be important to check with an agent or your current insurance company to make sure you stay covered. Some of you may already be receiving letters about your plan’s changes for this upcoming year. I will be doing my best to reach out to everyone who has a plan through me about these changes, but if you are concerned or have questions please reach out to me on here or my cell at (229)-322-7020. Please feel free to share this post, as I will be more than happy to assist anyone who has questions or would like to review their options and stay covered. Thank You!

This is not good advice! If you are on an Advantage plan and are not satisfied, please talk with a Health Insurance Agent before dropping the plan. If you drop your Advantage plan, you will need to sign up for a Part D (prescription drug) plan to cover your prescriptions and a Medicare Supplement to cover the deductibles and 20% coinsurance that Original Medicare does not cover. Medicare Supplements and Part D plans have monthly premiums that can be costly and may not be a good fit for everyone, so you definitely need to check with an agent to get the prices of these plans before dropping your Advantage plan. Medicare Advantage plans have a An out-of-pocket maximum, or a cap/limit, on the amount of money you have to pay for covered health care services in a plan year. If you meet that limit, your health plan will pay 100% of all covered health care costs for the rest of the plan year. Traditional Medicare does not have this safety net. While Advantage plans do have some disadvantages, it’s not as clear-cut as one option being better than the other. As an independent agent, my job is to work with you to make sure you understand the benefits and compare prices to make sure you are making the best decision for you. Feel free to give me a call at (229) 322-7020 if you have questions or need any help. Thank you!

This is a good article for how to deal with robo calls marketing health insurance. Please feel free to reach out to me if you or someone you know is being targeted by these calls and is confused on what to do. You can reach me on my cell at 229-322-7020 or message me on here any time.

Robocall scams can often seem random, but that's not always the case. Sometimes they are highly targeted - as with older Americans whose Medicare eligibility opens the door to health insurance fraud.

PSA: With Open Enrollment for Health Insurance plans around the corner, the marketing campaigns for new plans have started up again. I have recently noticed an alarming increase in calls from people that have been targeted by these advertisements. Here are four rules I always tell that you can remember during this time.
1. Never give out your Medicare number, Social Security number, or any other information over the phone.
2. Any important notices from Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, or your health insurance plan will be sent to you through the mail. They will never call you.
3. If you receive mail pertaining to any of these benefits that you are confused about, please contact me or any other local insurance agent that you know and trust to review it with you.
4. If you are on a State or Federal retirement plan be extra careful, because if you sign up for another plan you will be dropped from your plan and might not be allowed to rejoin it.
Please feel free to share this with anyone you know who could benefit from this information, as it could save them from a lot of unnecessary stress. As always, I am here to help, and it doesn’t cost anything to give me a call to make sure you or someone you care about are taken care of.
Thanks,
Drake T Dozier
