What Questions Should I Ask a Medicare Agent?
Medicare agents are licensed to give advice and enroll people in Medicare health insurance plans. Medicare agents are expected to look out for the best interests of enrollees, offer unbiased advice, and help people find the right Medicare plan for their needs.
Common questions to ask Medicare agents to help identify which health plan is right you, include:
- Do my preferred doctors accept this Medicare plan?
- Are my prescription drugs covered with Part D coverage?
- What is the deductible or maximum out-of-pocket costs of this plan?
- Is my current plan changing for the upcoming year? Are the costs and benefits changing?
- What is the government 5-star quality rating of this plan?
- What extra benefits are included? Is dental, vision, or hearing covered?
