Your Trusted Health Insurance Agent

Why Have A Dedicated Insurance Agent 

When your car needs maintenance, do you just stop at the nearest roadside gas station or do you go to your trusted dealer or mechanic.  Selecting a Medicare health insurance policy is the same, you want to go to someone you trust.

Unlike other agents, I am here to serve you today and in the future. My goal is to find the right policy that fits your medical needs, provider network needs and financial needs. My job is to have an open unbiased conversation with you and present several insurance solutions. I will cover all plan benefits and costs, so you can make an informed decision about your health insurance.

Unlike other agents, I just don't write the policy and you never hear from me again. As your independent agent, in addition to your insurance company’s customer support number, I offer 24/7 client support. I help with policy benefit questions or complex billing issues and can speak on your behalf with Medicare, Social Security, or your Insurance provider to solve complex issues. 

Here are some valuable tips that others do not want you to know. 

1. What to expect as you get closer to you 65th Birthday

As you get closer to your 65th birthday, your date of birth and address are public record. So be ready for an on-going flood of mail about retirement seminars, Medicare or Social Security workshops, free dinners for attending retirement meetings and sales brochures from every insurance company.
 

Understanding Medicare is complicated. So most who are wanting Medicare information usually just go online to do research. Many web sites appear to be official Medicare sites, but all they really do is gather your information and sell it to agents or call you directly and pressure you to enroll. If you want to save time and hours of research, then just give me a call. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have with no pressure and no obligation to enroll. 

2.  Meetings promoted as Medicare or Social Security workshops. These types of workshops are marketed by Financial Planners. You most likely will receive a letter inviting you to a free dinner or attend a seminar. 

I have been to many of these meetings doing market research and have found that only a few minutes are spent on Medicare or Social Security information. Usually the hidden intent of the meeting is exclusively focused on you coming to their office so they can invest your 401(k) or IRA nest-egg or sell you a complicated Annuity. It is all about your money because they earn high commissions.

The real rub comes when you have problems with the Medicare health plan they sold you, because many planners know little about the policy or Medicare and will just direct you the 1-800 service line. This is why you need an experienced agent who exclusively deals with Medicare and can get you the right answers.

3. What to expect if you attend an company sponsored Medicare workshop

Insurance companies advertise workshops to explain their Medicare plans. Many of my clients have found that the real purpose of the workshop is to sell you only that insurance companies plan. 

If you have done your homework and the plan being presented meets all your needs, you should consider calling me to enroll. 

However, captive agents will not compare their plan to other insurance companies, so you will not know if the plan they will enroll you in is the right plan for you.  As an Independent Agent, I represent all the Medicare plans in the Twin Cities and can compare more than one policy.

4. What to expect if you enroll on-line 

If you purchased a Medicare policy on-line or called an insurance company directly to enrolled, then you do not have a dedicated agent to represent you. 

When you have a problem, you will be calling an 1-​800 customer service number, being put on hold, only to speak with someone who sometimes are not completely helpful.
