Be Careful.......

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Referral Group Incorporated

It is the time of the year when insurance companies calculate their rates for the upcoming year. When you are on Medicare your choices are limited and vary greatly by state. In Massachusetts where I now live, the options are actually only two that write in my county. Everyday on television and on Facebook I see ads for companies beyond the two. 

I have learned to always talk with someone before submitting any information online. Yesterday I learned a lot about bait and switch and companies whose ads are outright false. If I believe in better angels I can attribute it to marketing to the many. If however I go with my gut, I have learned that this misrepresentation is often inherent. Be careful, these folks are good and there is no free lunch.

I am being hammered with robocalls that seem to target Medicare folks.  I simply hangup.  I've been with Kaiser for years.  I don't plan on changing.

It's annual enrollment time at my engineering job.  I don't know if my healthcare increased 20% from last year just because that's what it does, or because I turned 55.

Next month will be open enrollment for my insurance policy.  Last year I had two provider choices.  I am hoping to have more this year and not less like I have had the last two years.
