How to Find an Ohio Medicare Agent: Six Questions to Ask
Picking a Medicare plan is a headache. Worse, you need to reassess your plan each year to make sure it still suits your needs, as your circumstances or the plan may change. A mistake could be costly.
The solution is to work with a Medicare insurance agent. Your agent will take the time to learn about your needs and recommend you some of the top plans available in your area. Choosing a Medicare agent is just as important as picking the plan itself — but it requires asking just a few simple questions.
1. Do you have plans from the biggest carriers?
Find out if the agent has plenty of plans for you to choose from. Top agents represent all the biggest carriers on a national level and in Ohio. The agent you choose should assess all the plans and just present you with ones that meet your needs to avoid overwhelming you with options.
2. Do you offer all Medicare plans or just a certain type?
You may have already done some research and decided what kind of Medicare plan you want. In this case, you may like to choose an agent who specializes in this type of plan. For instance, if you qualify for Medicaid, you may decide to pick an agent who focuses on dual-eligible Medicare plans. Alternatively, you may like to keep your options open, which will mean finding an insurance agent who sells Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, Part D, and Medicare Cost.
3. Where are you licensed?
It’s crucial that your agent has completed all the necessary licensing and training to sell plans in Ohio. In addition, you’ll need to find an agent who operates in your particular county, as only some plans will cover the area where you live.
4. How long have you been a Medicare agent?
A seasoned Medicare agent will know what to look for in a plan. Plus, experienced agents are more likely to represent the best carriers in your area. Find out how long an agent has been working — and confirm he or she has the proper licenses to operate in Ohio.
5. Do you support clients year round?
Right now, you’re looking for a Medicare agent to help you find a plan. However, you’ll gain far more benefits if you pick an agent who is also available to support you throughout the year. This may include through:
- Filing appeals if you disagree with a coverage or payment decision
- Finding you a new plan if your circumstances change and you qualify for a special enrollment period
- Dealing with claims processing errors
6. What do clients say about your service?
Agents will always present themselves in the best possible light. It means much more if you find out what their clients think of them. Check out testimonials to see where the agent excels — and where he or she is lacking. The right agent for you will be one who provides each client with an individualized service, recommends plans based on clients’ needs, and is available whenever clients have a problem.
When you meet with an agent you should never feel pressured or obligated to buy anything. You should feel comfortable with their personality and communication style since this is someone you hope to build a long term relationship with.
Note: Silver&Smart does not endorse any specific Medicare agents and we do not sell any Medicare plans. We simply provide listings of Medicare agents available in your state. Many of these agents offer multiple plans. We have not vetted the agents who have purchased listings on this website, so please interview them, ask questions, and select an agent that best meets your needs. Please contact Medicare.gov, 1-800-MEDICARE, or your local State Health Insurance Program (SHIP) to get information on all your options.
