1. Don’t Skip the Broker
Using a licensed Medicare broker doesn’t cost you a dime, but it gives you:
-
Access to multiple carriers, not just one
-
A real advocate when dealing with insurance companies
-
Ongoing support even after your policy is issued
If your broker disappears after enrollment — you didn’t have the right one.
2. Never Buy Over the Phone Without a Local Contact
Too many people end up in the wrong plan by trusting a national call center that doesn’t know our local doctors, hospitals, or networks. If they can’t meet you face-to-face or take your call locally — walk away.
3. Run if They Don’t Check Your Medications or Doctors
Your prescriptions and preferred doctors directly impact your plan choice. If an agent doesn’t ask:
-
What medications you take
-
What specialists or clinics you see
…they’re not doing their job. The wrong plan can cost you thousands.
4. Don’t Fall for TV Ads or “Free Stuff”
TV ads love to promise free dental, vision, or money back — but rarely tell you what you’ll give up in exchange. Always get a full, local plan comparison to know the truth.
5. Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute
Enrollment windows are strict, and the penalties are real. The earlier you plan, the more options you’ll have. Even if your 65th birthday is months away, now is the time to get help.
Choose the Local Medicare Experts You Can Trust
At Hodges Insurance, we don’t sell Medicare — we educate our clients so they can make the most informed decision possible based on their individual health needs and budgetary goals.
Once your policy is issued, we hold your hand and “adopt” you — becoming your go-to contact for any Medicare-related questions or changes. We're here for:
-
Plan reviews every year
-
Claims issues
-
Coverage updates
-
Explaining confusing letters or notices
We’re proud to offer:
-
Over 50 years of combined experience
-
A local, family-run office right here in Anderson
-
Support before, during, and long after enrollment
-
A consistent 5-star rating on Google from satisfied clients
Because every person’s situation is unique — and your needs can change year to year — it's critical to work with someone who understands the full picture.
Don’t take Medicare advice from friends, social media, or someone who isn’t licensed and experienced. One wrong decision could limit your care — and switching later isn’t always easy or possible.
