What Is a Medicare Insurance Advisor?
Medicare insurance advisors can be independent insurance sales agents representing one or multiple different Medicare plan providers (insurance companies), or they can be insurance brokers who work on behalf of a Medicare beneficiary.
Medicare insurance advisors may also work for agencies that provide free counseling and assistance to Medicare beneficiaries. These types of Medicare insurance advisors are typically non-profit organizations that offer their services for free.
How Is an Insurance Agent a Medicare Insurance Advisor?
A Medicare insurance agent can do so much more than just simply selling you a policy. A good agent will gather Medicare plans from several different carriers that sell insurance in your area, and they’ll go over the details of each one with you. The agent can help you understand the costs associated with each plan and review the benefits.
If you have a health condition that requires specific treatments, an agent can help you find a plan that is well-catered to those needs. Or they may help you find a plan that is accepted by your closest pharmacy and favorite doctors.
An agent can also help you determine which type of Medicare plan is best for your needs. For example, would you be more likely to benefit from a Medicare Advantage (Medicare Part C) plan or a Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) plan? And if the answer is Medicare Advantage, would you prefer an HMO, PPO or some other plan structure?
There’s a lot to learn about Medicare, and it’s typical for new beneficiaries to have a lot of questions about what Medicare covers and how it all works. A valuable agent will take the time to answer your questions, help you better understand Medicare and offer professional advice.
