Are you trying to decide what kind of Medicare plan is best? It’s frustrating. You only need the right plan for you, and once you do, the Medicare decision will be made, and your life will become much more straightforward. But at the moment, you are juggling an awful lot of considerations and factors that can include:

Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!
  • Your preexisting medical conditions and illnesses and the need for specific treatments and healthcare providers to treat them
  • The need to decide whether or not to buy Medicare Supplement coverage, stick with basic Medicare, or select a Medicare Advantage plan.
  • Finding coverage is necessary not just for yourself but for a spouse.
  • You need to focus on plans available in your state or where you might be moving.
  • The decision about when to leave or keep your employer-sponsored healthcare coverage.

Yes, it’s frustrating to try to keep all those considerations in the air at once long enough to explore them and arrive at the best Medicare decision about what your best plan will be.

But here’s a fact that can lessen the anxiety

A little focused expert help is all you need to select the best Medicare plan for you.

That help can come from various sources and experts. Sometimes, your primary care provider has a comprehensive overview of your care needs and can match you to a Medicare plan offering your needs.

Medicare.gov can also help you match your needs to available plans but most people find it dense and difficult to navigate. A third choice is to review materials available in print and online from commercial insurance companies that offer supplemental Medicare policies. Still, there is the fact that salespeople from those commercial insurers are eager to discuss your needs and to try to convince you, in many cases, that their policies and plans are the best choice for you.

Another choice? Get personalized Medicare advice from an independent insurance brokerage like CoverRight – and expert on helping you define your needs and find a policy that will best meet them. There is no obligation or fee for CoverRight services. It is the simplest and most calming way to stop juggling all those balls and decide which kind of policy – or which specific policy – is the best for you.

CoverRight is on a mission to make the Medicare plan selection process easy to understand and help you find the best plans for your specific situation.
