How to Find a Maine Medicare Agent: Five Questions to Ask
Choosing the wrong Medicare coverage can be a costly mistake. But finding the right coverage can be time consuming and the number of choices can feel overwhelming. When you work with a local, licensed Medicare agent they can help you narrow down your options to find the right plan to fit your individual needs.
Here are five questions to ask to help you find the agent that is right for you:
1. What type of insurance are you licensed to sell in my state?
The agent you choose to work with should be licensed to sell Medicare in your state. This means they have taken a state licensing exam and have met annual education requirements. This ensures they are up to date on all of Medicare’s rules and regulations which can change every year. They might also be licensed to sell other products such as life insurance and annuities, in addition to Medicare.
2. How much experience do you have?
Medicare plan availability, benefits, rules, and exceptions can vary from state to state and can change every year, which can make it difficult to navigate on your own. An experienced agent will understand the complexities involved and can help guide you to the right coverage. They will have history of working with a variety of people and circumstances, making them well qualified to assist you.
3. What should I bring with me when we meet?
Your agent will ask you to come prepared with a list of your doctors, your medications and dosages, your preferred hospitals, and pharmacies. You will discuss any chronic health conditions and treatments, how often you travel out of the area, and your budget. This will help the agent gauge your needs and preferences in order to find the Medicare coverage that best matches your needs.
4. Which types of insurance plans do you sell?
Ask the agent if they sell both Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans, as well as stand-alone products such as Part D prescription drug plans, and vision, dental and hearing coverage. An agent who represents a variety of local and national insurance carriers will be able to offer you more options, increasing the likelihood of finding a plan well suited to your needs.
5. What happens next?
Your agent will help you enroll in the plan of your choice. They will make sure your application processes without any issues and will follow up to ensure you received your new ID card. Ask your agent if they offer ongoing customer service and support throughout the year so that they can assist with issues or questions that arise with your existing coverage.
When you form a relationship with a local Medicare agent, you will have access to a trusted advisor who can provide education, guidance, and support over many years.
