As AEP approaches, scam calls tend to spike too. Please keep in mind that a real agent will never pressure you to enroll on the spot or ask for payment over the phone to 'lock in' a plan. When in doubt, report the caller to 1-800-MEDICARE, and feel free to call our team of licensed agents to get clarity on plan information.

📅 Medicare's Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) runs from October 15 to December 7. While you don't need to make any changes just yet, now is a great time to start preparing. This time of year, we recommend:

✅ Making a list of your current medications
✅ Reviewing any changes to your doctors or healthcare needs
✅ Thinking about the benefits that matter most to you for next year

A little preparation now can make enrollment season much easier. When you're ready, our team is here to help you review your options!

🚨 A little tip from our team before the mail starts piling up: Keep an eye out for your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) letter later this month. If you are a Medicare enrollee, you'll receive an ANOC letter outlining plan updates effective January 1.

⭐️ Remember: We're here to help you review your insurance and find a perfect fit. Contact us with any questions, especially upon receiving your ANOC.

Many Medicare beneficiaries don't realize they may qualify for programs that help lower healthcare and prescription drug costs. Programs like Extra Help and Medicare Savings Programs can help eligible individuals reduce expenses related to premiums, prescriptions, and other Medicare costs.

Even if you've never qualified before, it's worth checking. A small amount of assistance can make a big difference over the course of a year.

Grandkids heading back to school soon? Staying involved (walking to the bus stop, helping with homework, cheering at games) is great for your body and your mood. Connection is its own kind of medicine!
