Getting set up with a new Medicare plan can feel like organizing a big family reunion—lots of details, but so worth it when everyone is together!

One of the most important "details" is making sure your favorite doctors and specialists are ready for your new 2026 coverage.

Here is the #1 rule: Never assume a doctor who accepted your old plan will accept your new one.

Here are 3 simple ways you can check:

1ļøāƒ£ Check the Plan's Website: Every carrier has a "Find a Provider" tool that is updated constantly. It's the fastest, most reliable source.

2ļøāƒ£ Call the Doctor's Office: Ask if they are "In-Network" for your specific plan name and year (e.g., "The 2026 XYZ Care Advantage Plan").

3ļøāƒ£ Call Your Agent: We are always happy to double-check the network status for you and save you a phone call!

Don't let a surprise bill ruin your new year! Check your network status now.

We love helping you find the right plan during AEP, but our job doesn't end when your new ID card arrives!

Think of your agent as a year-round resource who understands the complicated rules, networks, and paperwork that come with Medicare.

Here are a few ways we are ready to help you every month of the year:
Finding Doctors & Specialists: Need a new provider? We can check if they accept your specific plan.
Understanding Bills: We can help you decode confusing statements and make sure you're paying the right amount.
Rx Coverage Questions: We help you find the most cost-effective way to get your medications.
Referral Assistance: If your plan requires a referral, we can help you understand the steps to get one.
Using Benefits: Got an OTC or Flex Card? We remind you how and when to use those extra perks!

We are here to make Medicare simple, not just once a year, but every single day.

When the calendar flips to January 1st, we all think of resolutions, maybe watching the Rose Parade, or that famous ball drop!

But for those of you who made Medicare changes during AEP, January 1st is also your official New Coverage Day!

Here's the key thing to remember:
Your 2026 benefits, networks, and deductibles do not start until January 1st. Any appointments or prescriptions you have before then still fall under your current (2025) plan.
Starting January 1st, you must use your new ID card for all your health services.

Think of it like setting the New Year's table—it takes time to prepare, but the feast (your new benefits!) starts right on time!

Remember having to call the phone company or the newspaper to cancel service? It was always a hassle!

Well, we have good news: Medicare doesn't work that way!

If you chose a new Medicare Advantage or Part D prescription drug plan for 2026, the enrollment process is a seamless handshake:

The moment your new plan's coverage begins on January 1st, your old plan is automatically notified and your enrollment ends. There is no need for you to call and cancel!

Your agent made sure the process was smooth and simple, so you can focus on enjoying the holidays and getting ready for your new 2026 benefits!

You've got your new 2026 ID card ready, which is a huge step! But if you switched Medicare Advantage plans during AEP, here are two more quick things to confirm before your first doctor's visit in January:

1ļøāƒ£ Know Your Copay: Your copay for a doctor's visit may have changed with your new plan. Check your plan's Summary of Benefits (or call your agent!) so you aren't surprised at the front desk.

2ļøāƒ£Check on Referrals: Does your new plan require a referral to see a specialist? If so, make sure you know the process. Getting a referral before your appointment is much easier than fixing a denied claim later!

Taking a few minutes to prepare now means your appointment in the new year will be smooth sailing!

Remember finding a few extra dollars tucked away in an old coat pocket? It feels like a little unexpected gift!

Well, here is a friendly reminder that many Medicare Advantage plans include a Flex Card or Over-the-Counter (OTC) benefit that is set to expire on December 31st!

If your plan has this perk, this money is meant to be spent on things like:
Band-aids, cold medicine, and pain relievers.
Toothpaste and other daily health items.
Vitamins and supplements.

You earned this benefit! Make sure you check your balance and use every penny before the clock runs out on New Year's Eve.

Switching Medicare plans during AEP feels like packing up for a new adventure! But before you go, there’s one quick, crucial thing to check off your list: Your Primary Care Physician (P*P).

If you chose a new Medicare Advantage (MA) plan for 2026, many of them require you to officially select or confirm a P*P before your coverage starts on January 1st. Think of it like making a reservation at your favorite holiday restaurant—you have to call ahead!

What should you do?
Look at your new plan documents.
Call your carrier's customer service number.
Confirm that your doctor is in-network and tell them you want to select them as your P*P for the new year.

Don't wait until January 1st to find out!

What is the one quality (besides being a great doctor!) you value most in your P*P? Let us know in the comments! šŸ‘‡

Remember the feeling of running to the mailbox as a kid, hoping for a special letter? Well, this week and next, keep that same joyful anticipation!

If you switched Medicare plans this year, your new ID card for 2026 is on its way to you.

Why the rush? You'll need this important little card for your very first doctor's visit or pharmacy trip starting on January 1st.

Once it arrives, give it a good place of honor—maybe right next to those family photos on the fridge! It’s your ticket to a healthy new year.

šŸ“® P.S. If your card hasn't arrived by December 15th, or if you have questions about your new plan’s network, please reach out! We’re here to help you get ready for the new year.

Here’s a little secret: You hear the term "Open Enrollment" a lot this time of year, but it can mean two very different things!

Think of it like two different holiday traditions:

šŸŽ„ The Medicare Tradition (AEP): This is the window that just ended (October 15–December 7) when you can make changes to your Part D or Medicare Advantage plan.

šŸŽ„ The Health Marketplace Tradition: This is the other "Open Enrollment" period for folks who are not on Medicare (or who are not yet 65).

If you have Medicare, your focus is entirely on the deadlines and rules for Medicare plans only! You do not need to worry about the Health Insurance Marketplace.

The takeaway: You're already in the right place! And as your agent, we are here to help you navigate your Medicare coverage all year long.

Now that the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) is done and the holiday season is in full swing, you might be looking to clear the clutter (maybe finally get those holiday decorations out of the attic!).

Before you organize your desk, grab your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) letter.

Think of your ANOC as the official "Owner's Manual" for your 2026 Medicare plan. Even if you love your plan and decided to keep it, this document has all the detailed information on your coverage, copays, and rules for the new year.

Keep it in a spot you can easily find in case you have a coverage question in March or July! (Or that your family can find if they need to help)

Remember the feeling of having a trusted neighbor or family friend always there when you needed advice? That dependable feeling doesn't stop just because AEP is over!

We are here for you in January, June, and September—not just when it's time to enroll. We can help with things like:
Finding new doctors or specialists.
Understanding confusing billing statements.
Answering general questions about your benefits.

Sometimes, Medicare documents can read like a secret code—full of acronyms and terms like AEP, SEP, ANOC, LIS, and LEP! It’s enough to make anyone’s head spin.

Good news: You don't have to become a Medicare expert yourself!

Our goal is to take the stress out of understanding your benefits and make sure you feel confident about your healthcare decisions.

So, if you get a letter with a confusing term, or hear an acronym that makes no sense, don't fret! Just ask us. We're here to help you understand your benefits clearly.
