You should have your new Medicare number by now!
Powered by
As of April 2019 all new Medicare numbers had been assigned. It is no longer your social security number. We will need your new Medicare number in order to evaluate your best option for 2020.
We hope you are giving a thumbs up to the Medicare plan(s) you chose. But it is important to remember that some plans change their benefits each year. October 15th through December 7th you have an opportunity to change your Part D (Drug Plan) or Medicare Health Plan (Advantage Plan). You may or may not need to make a change, but making sure you are in the right place is important. If you have had changes to your medication, pharmacy or doctor it will be especially worthy of reviewing your plan for 2020. Henriott Health 65 is currently scheduling appointments for reviews during Annual Election Period (AEP). We do not have to meet in person if you are comfortable with phone or email, though we are always happy to meet with you.

Medicare is experiencing a lot of changes In 2020 Plans C, F, and Fhd are going away. These are Medicare supplement plans (Medigap). If you have one you will be grandfathered in. If you turned 65 before 1/1/2020 you will still be able to get one. But if you turn 65 after 1/1/2020 don’t panic. You will have options. You may consider Plan G, N and the new Ghd. Give us a call if you have questions, but remember if you are currently in a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan and want to make a change to another Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan you will have to answer medical questions unless you have a special circumstance.
Don’t be a victim: Because I am always researching Medicare, I too receive mailings as though I am Medicare eligible. Recently I received a voicemail message that I was the subject of an investigation due to a federal criminal offense and this was the final attempt to reach me. I knew this had to be false, but to see what my clients face I called the number back. The person on the other end answered “Social Security”. They were fishing for information and using scare tactics to gather information. When asked for my address I replied that they should have it on file since they had reached out to me for an investigation. I was hung up on immediately. Upon doing a search of the phone number it was reported to be one used with scams.
Don’t be a victim. If someone calls you with this type of claim, don’t call the number back. Look up the actual number for a court, social security, or federal office. Never give them your social security or Medicare number. If unsure, ask for their number and let them know you will call them back.
