How We help

Have you ever wished that you could simply pick up the phone, and talk to a real live local person and get some of your questions answered? My clients have laughingly referred to me as the Human Resources Department of Retirement that actually answers the phone. That made me smile but made my heart smile as well. You will have questions from time to time about a range of topics in retirement. 

• Dental, vision, hearing
• What if my doctor doesn't accept my healthcare coverage?
• What do they mean I have to pay a Part A premium?
• The Part B premium changes every year?
• What if I am on my spouses group coverage?

 All of these are real things that I can provide some insight for. 

Medicare Coverage falls under two categories. Original Medicare (+ Medicare Supplement) or Medicare Advantage (Part C). Trying to sort through the details of those plans can be tricky if you don't know what to look for, that is where I can help. There are things that you need to be aware of when making your choices, make sure you have all of the facts of the situation. 

Education is the cornerstone to confidence in your Health Insurance future. I strive to provide each of my clients with a firm knowledge of their Medicare Coverage Options and what that means for them.  This education can be provided in a class room setting at a library, a phone or virtual meeting, or sitting down at your kitchen table with your family. There is no charge for the meeting and no obligation. This is a free public service to equip you to make the best choices possible for your specific situation. Medicare is not a one-size-fits-all situation. 

 Throughout central Louisiana at parish libraries, I host free community events that promote Medicare Education. Details are covered about how Medicare works, how much it costs, programs that cover your premiums if you are eligible, and much more. See our Upcoming Seminars tab for more information.  

Prescription Drug Plans (PDP) can be added to Original Medicare with a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan OR they are included in your coverage with a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C).

The information needed to evaluate your drug coverage typically involves:

Name of Prescription + Dosage + Frequency + Form + Pharmacy you prefer

Pair this with cross referencing different options for specific situations and this helps get you the best coverage available to you. 

This is a very valuable free service that I provide to you and that can greatly effect your out of pocket costs through the year and should be taken very seriously.
