Medicare Corner

With Kathy O

As an insurance
agent who specializes
in Medicare plans, I am
often asked, “Why do
I need a local agent?”
Medicare can be
complex and confusing
with all the different
options and all the
mailers, commercials
that promise the moon,
suggestions, “facts” or
stories you might hear from friends, relatives or
neighbors. In fact, my mom fell into this web of
confusion, and I watched her struggle with navigating
plans as she moved between North Carolina and
Florida and during Annual Enrollment each year. She
had complex medical issues and a fixed income so
additional benefits were very important to her. When I
would ask her questions about her coverage, she had no
idea and no one to turn to for help. It broke my heart to
see her struggle and frustrated me that I didn’t have the
knowledge to help her. I had a life and health license
since 2008 but was only trained in life insurance. I
also did customer service for property and casualty
but could not offer my own mom the type of support I
could give my clients at work. A close friend working
with United Healthcare Medicare plans encouraged me

Most extra benefits of a local agent happen after
you enroll. I am a resource for my members. I can
reorder lost cards, answer benefit questions, give a list

much more. The best part is there is no cost to you the

I’m an educator of Medicare Basics: I guide you
through enrollment. We meet one on one to review and
analyze your specific health situation and needs. We
review the features and benefits and limitations of plans.
I also look up costs of medications, check out doctors
and networks and compare multiple plans with you.
