Medicare and Retirement Made Easy

Here is an update about what is now happening in the Minnesota Medicare market during the annual enrollment period and for the remainder of 2026. 

Carriers in Minnesota have adjusted their premiums, adjusted their benefits, reduced the number of plan options or simply have chosen not to continue to offer their plans in certain counties in Minnesota, or like UCare, they are discontinuing their Medicare Advantage plans altogether, leaving about 158,000 people searching for a new plan or reverting to Original Medicare in 2026.

Most carriers will offer plans in 2026 but will not compensate agents or brokers for helping clients enroll in a new plan, or clients new to Medicare, or clients switching plans within the same provider, and renewals of existing clients.

My job is to be your advocate, helping you review your choices, based on things like your hospitals, doctors, specialists, practitioners, prescriptions and what ancillary benefits are important to you. 

If I can find a different Medicare Health or Prescription plan that has more value for you in 2026, I will still help you enroll regardless of whether I am compensated. Because it is the right thing to do.

For 15 years my Medicare business growth has always been about client referrals. I have an A+ BBB rating, 5-Star rating from Google business, and positive Ai reviews. This is because I provide a higher level of customer support and service. 

If you or someone you know are affected by changes in your Medicare coverage, please contact me.
