Summary<\/u>:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Medicare Open Enrollment has started.\u00a0 This is an opportunity to get better Medicare and drug plan coverage for the coming year.\u00a0 Tips and resources for consumers are shared by the American Association for Medicare Supplement Insurance.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only one in four seniors with qualifying Medicare coverage takes the time to compare their 2022 plan coverage during Medicare Open Enrollment.\u00a0\u00a0 Failing to compare can be an enormously costly mistake experts warn.<\/p>\n

“For millions of Americans, this is your one chance to get better Medicare coverage for 2022,” explains Jesse Slome, director of the American Association for Medicare Supplement Insurance (AAMSI).\u00a0 “You may get better benefits; you may save hundreds or even thousands of dollars. \u00a0Most important, you avoid being locked into the wrong coverage for another year.”
\n“Comparing can be easy and starting early is the key,” advises Slome.\u00a0 “Take advantage of some of the best no-cost resources designed to help seniors get the information needed to make informed decisions.”\u00a0 Medicare Open Enrollment ends December 7th.<\/p>\n

Best Online Directory Lists Local Medicare Insurance Agents<\/strong><\/p>\n

During Medicare Open Enrollment some 24 million individuals with Medicare Advantage (MA) coverage are given the opportunity to change plans.\u00a0 “MA plan features and medical providers can change from year to year,” Slome warns.\u00a0 “No one knows your changing health needs better than you. \u00a0Failing to make sure you have the best coverage for 2022 can be a huge health mistake.”<\/p>\n

A free online directory lists local Medicare insurance agents by Zip Code.\u00a0 Unlike most websites that seek to gather your data for future solicitations, no personal information is needed to access the directory.\u00a0 Use the AAMSI-hosted resource to find local Medicare agents<\/u><\/a> listed by Zip Code.<\/p>\n

“Medicare is a national program but Medicare Advantage plans tend to be very local in nature,” Slome notes.\u00a0 “Many consumers prefer working with a local Medicare agent rather than an anonymous person at a call center.\u00a0 Access the directory at www.medicaresupp.org.<\/p>\n

Compare Medicare Drug Plan Costs And Coverage <\/strong><\/p>\n

Some 48 million Americans are covered by a separate Medicare prescription drug plan typically referred to as a Part D plan.\u00a0\u00a0 Once each year during open enrollment, Medicare offers the ability to change plans for the coming year.<\/p>\n

A simple-to-use online tool now enables you to compare 2022 Medicare drug plan costs<\/u><\/a> available for your Zip Code.\u00a0 \u00a0No personal information is required to access and utilize the comparison tool.\u00a0 For the best results, the tool allows you to enter your specific prescription medications.<\/p>\n

With millions of seniors all having the ability to compare and switch plans, it is important to start early, Slome advises.\u00a0 Access these free resources and other Medicare insurance data, statistics, and pricing information on the American Association for Medicare Supplement Insurance<\/u><\/a> website.<\/p>\n

About American Association for Medicare Supplement Insurance<\/strong><\/p>\n

The American Association for Medicare Supplement Insurance is a national organization that advocates for the importance of Medicare planning and supports insurance professionals who market Medicare solutions.\u00a0 Jesse Slome is director and also serves as head of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance<\/u><\/a> that connects consumers seeking information and coverage from leading specialists.<\/p>\n
