What the letter is telling you

Every fall, Medicare Advantage plans mail you an Annual Notice of Change — a letter explaining what's different about your plan next year. Your premium, your drug costs, your doctor network: any of it can change on January 1, and the letter is how you find out.

Most people never read it. Honestly, who can blame them? It's long, it's dense, and it doesn't tell you what to do.

Here's what to do: bring it to me. I'll sit down with you — in person or by phone — and translate it into plain English. What's changing, what it costs you, and whether it still fits your doctors and prescriptions. Free. No pressure to switch plans, no obligation to enroll in anything.

If your plan still looks good, I'll tell you so. If something changed that matters to you, we'll talk through your options before the December 7 deadline.

The 3 pages that actually matter

You don't have to read all of it. Just check three things:

  1. 1

    Your premium

    Is it going up, going down, or staying put for 2027?

  2. 2

    Your drugs

    Did any of your prescriptions move to a higher cost tier?

  3. 3

    Your doctors

    Is your doctor network changing — are your doctors still in?

If all three look fine, you're probably in good shape — and I'll happily confirm that for free. If one of them changed and you don't like the answer, you have until December 7 to do something about it. See how Annual Enrollment works.

Bring me the letter

A photo of it works fine. We'll go through it together — in person around Greensboro or by phone — and you'll know exactly where you stand before the December 7 deadline. The changes in the letter take effect January 1 whether you read it or not, so sooner beats later.

Free consultation. No obligation to enroll. No call centers, just me.

That letter won't read itself

The changes take effect January 1 either way. Ten minutes with me now beats a surprise in January — free, no pressure.

Free consultation in person or by phone. Calls and appointments 8am to 7pm, Monday through Saturday, Eastern time.

We do not offer every plan available in your area. Please contact Medicare.gov, 1-800-MEDICARE, or your local State Health Insurance Program (SHIP) for information on all your options.
