Medicare

Becoming Medicare eligible should be cause for celebration! It’s some of the best coverage our country has to offer. But, for many, it is so confusing that instead of celebrating, they become frustrated and overwhelmed. But we’ve got you! We will break down the process into easily digestible steps and walk you through each one of them!

From submitting your application to the Social Security Administration to deciding between supplements and Medicare Advantage to ultimately choosing a specific plan, we’re with you!

Our Medicare team has been helping Medicare beneficiaries for more than 10 years and we meet weekly to discuss trends, solve issues faced by our clients and share best practices, so you have the collective wisdom of the whole team at your disposal.

Why choose NW Strategic Insurance Advisors for your Medicare insurance needs? Here’s what sets us apart:

FOR EMPLOYERS

We help employers reduce costs by:

• Ensuring that every Medicare-aged employee understands Medicare and the options available to them.
• Using our vast experience in both employer and Marketplace plans to help employees compare their current coverage to that of Medicare, allowing them to make an educated decision as to when they should apply for Medicare.
• Offering expertise in all lines of insurance (employer and individual plans as well as Medicare). Our team has one or more specialists in each of these areas and can therefore analyze ALL options available to employees and their families. As an example, it might be best for an employee to move off the employer plan and onto Medicare, but they are worried about their family’s coverage. In this case, our Medicare specialist would team up with our Group and Individual specialists to run all the scenarios for each family member and find a solution that is best for everyone.

FOR INDIVIDUALS

We provide a private “Medicare 101” to help you grasp the big picture and take the confusion out of all those pieces, parts, and letters!

Next, we schedule a “scope of appointment” to learn from you and discuss your specific wants and needs. Our recommendations are always tailored to your situation and preferences.

We partner with leading insurance carriers and healthcare providers to ensure you have access to high-quality care when you need it most. Our extensive network spans across the region, giving you the flexibility to choose the doctors, hospitals, and specialists that best meet your needs. We are experts in Medicare options:

• Original Medicare (Parts A and B)
• Medicare Advantage (Part C)
• Prescription Drug Plans (Part D)
• Medicare Supplements (MediGap)

We continue to be your resource throughout the year. Whether you have questions about your coverage, need assistance with claims, or want to explore new options, our team is always just a phone call away.

There is no fee to work with NW Strategic Insurance Advisors (we are paid by the insurance carriers), yet we understand the importance of choosing within a budget. We will clearly explain all premiums, copayments, and/or deductibles each plan may have. Our goal is to help you maximize your coverage while minimizing your out-of-pocket expenses.

Don’t leave your Medicare journey to chance. The experts at NW Strategic Insurance Advisors will help you navigate the complexities of Medicare insurance and ensure you find the coverage that is right for you.
