You are not alone – we will guide you through the enrollment process.
Are you turning 65 in the next year or retiring at a later age? We can review Medicare basics and costs with you, so you know what to expect. If you are still working, we can compare your current group insurance to your Medicare options, so you make the right choice. If you choose to enroll in Medicare, we will then review alternative plans for you as described in the next section.
You have many plans to choose from – let’s find the right one for you!
We’ll review your health needs and determine if your current plan meets those needs. Are you receiving the benefits you are entitled to and not overpaying? Is there a plan offering lower prescription drug prices? Are you in need of extra benefits your current plan may not offer? We research your options and help you enroll.
You may qualify for a Special Needs Plan with extra benefits.
Are you enrolled with Medicare and receiving Medicaid? Many seniors who qualify for Medicaid are unaware of their eligibility for special Medicare Advantage plans that offer richer medical benefits than those available under Medicaid alone. We will check your qualification, compare plans, and help you enroll.

Many plans offer extra benefits beyond VA or Tricare coverage.
Are you a veteran enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B? $0 monthly premium plans are available in many areas offering you large provider networks with extra benefits such as dental, vision, hearing, fitness memberships, and more. In some areas, plans may include a Part B premium reduction.
Let’s see if you qualify for programs to reduce your prescription costs.
Social Security offers Extra Help with prescription drug costs, and if you qualify, you may save on prescription drug-related costs. Qualification is based on income and financial resources. We can help you apply for Extra Help. This program may also pay your monthly Part D prescription premium or any late Part D enrollment penalties.
Our agents are also knowledgeable in different prescription drug discounts and advocacy programs that may benefit you.
Railroad workers qualify for Medicare just like other workers, but their benefits are administered through the RRB rather than the Social Security Administration. Medicare coverage includes:
Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance): Covers inpatient hospital care, skilled nursing facility care, hospice, and some home healthcare. Railroad workers generally qualify for Part A without paying a premium if they or their spouse worked for at least 10 years in Medicare-covered employment.
Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance): Covers doctors' services, outpatient care, durable medical equipment, and preventive services. Part B requires a monthly premium.
Just like other Medicare beneficiaries, railroad retirees can choose to enroll in:
Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans, which combine Parts A and B and often Part D, through private insurance companies.
Medicare Part D for prescription drug coverage, which is also available through private insurers.
