2026 Medicare Coverage

Legislation is changing the medicare advantage landscape.  Somewhat.  We are perfectly willing to discuss these changes with you.

What's Happening in 2025

As You Prepare for 2026

My Offer.

We offer o thoughts and help to as you consider what to do for the upcoming year.


As always, if you are happy with your existing coverage, the best advice we would give is to...stand pat.  Most plans automatically rollove

If you decide you want to change, contact us - we'll have a conversation where we'll listen to your concerns.

We have plans from several companies.

We offer appointments online, phone or in-person.

The Mass Marketers vs Local Agents.

As usual, the Mass Marketers will likely be making much ado.   To be certain, you can buy however you like...from the computer, telephone agents in whatever state, from the company direct, or, a local agent.  The advantage of the local agent is accessibility and accountability.

Plans are the Same for All.

Please know, by law, all plans offered by companies are the exact same plans for all sellers within a geographical area.  Same  benefits, same cost, same availability, and all without any agent fees.


Know that all Plans are under the same Medicare rules.  In 2026, Medicare changes affect all Plans that offer drug coverage.  Each company decides how to handle the adjustments.

Thought Process Suggestion

Look over your current coverages and compare to the changes your existing insurer is making.  Think about your expected needs.  Consider your Maximum Out-of-Pocket as that sets your overall risk for the upcoming year.  Recall that better benefits over Here usually mean worse benefits over There.

Recall that you are buying a medical/drug plan for medical/drug benefits.  If the plan you like has attractive bells and whistles, so much the better.

Always Free Advice. However.

Recall that most all advice is both not so good and good.  Advice comes from everywhere: family, friends, influencers, news and fake news.  Some might mean well but because you are always a special case, the advice may not apply.  Just an opinion.  Follow opinions at your peril.  Licensed Agents give good advice because they are financially liable for what they say and do.
