Some things to keep in mind

Keeping
your
Doctors

Is keeping your doctors important?
1.  Search all Medicare Advantage networks in your geographic area to determine the networks in which your doctors participates.
2. If you find your doctors, then you may consider the Medicare Advantage plans a viable option.
3. If you do not find your doctors you  may consider Medicare and a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) your viable option.

Saving on
Drugs

Is saving money on prescription drugs important?
1.  Make a list of exactly what you take. The exact name of the drug, the dosage and amount needed for each day. If mail order is more cost effective the plan will reveal the results automatically.
2. Visit Medicare's website (www. Medicare.gov) to review every drug plan from every company at the same time.

Saving on Monthly Premiums

Would having the lowest monthly premium be important?
1.  Schedule time with one of our certified planners to review every plan from every company at the same time. We are available via chat, Facetime, in person, Skype or telephone. We will likely save you thousands in unnecessary premiums, co-pays and deductibles. 
2.  Attend an informational workshop in your area.
