The Process of Working with an Agent for Medicare Planning

Maybe you like to do things on your own like your taxes for instance. Many people do, but sometimes it helps to understand what engaging with a licensed insurance agent involves.

Kelly Hoehmann is a Licensed Insurance Agent at Bankers Life and Casualty Company and works out of their Massachusetts office. She shares, “A big part of my job is to educate and help my clients make important financial decisions with their retirement accounts.” And these financial decisions can include Medicare coverage options.

Kelly says, “I think that for most of my clients, they find the value in getting a personalized approach to their Medicare coverage options. Choosing a Medicare Advantage plan should not have a ‘cookie cutter’ approach. Just because your colleague or best friend loves a certain plan, doesn't mean it is necessarily right for you. When I sit with my clients, I will consider things like their health, what medications they are taking, and measure that to what they can realistically afford. In addition to that, Bankers Life licensed insurance agents are kept up to date with all of the other state and federally funded programs that might be available to them based on their income and asset levels.”

“Working with a licensed insurance agent means that you are utilizing a professional who is trained and tested (quite extensively) every year in order to even discuss the different coverage options available,” says Kelly. She goes on to say, “When you work with a local broker, they will ensure you are put into a plan that fits your needs. I maintain a relationship with my clients throughout their retirement because I find that as they age, so do their healthcare needs. I sit with people every day who are turning 65 and are new to Medicare. As my clients age, sometimes they find that the plan they chose while they were younger may not suit their needs any longer, which is why I hold annual reviews with everyone.”

In addition to helping you find your Medicare coverage options, Kelly can address extended care concerns. She says, “Medicare will not cover costs associated with long term care yet I find that most people don't know about this and now more than ever, long term care has become a huge concern, especially for those who have assets to protect.” Want to learn more about long term care insurance?
