Boomer Benefits

Hi Loretta, Yes we work with AARP as well as around 30 other insurance carriers. There is no fee to use our services. You can read more about how that works here: https://boomerbenefits.com/faq/why-do-i-need-an-agent/

We are licensed in 49 states, so yes, if you call our office at 817-249-8600, our receptionist can connect you with one of our agents who is licensed in that state.

Yes. Your Part B effective date is what kicks off your 6-month opportunity to get a Medigap plan with no underwriting.

The VA and Medicare coverage is separate, so you shouldn't have to show your Medicare card. Next time they ask, you should pose that question to them and find out why they are asking for information when VA hospitals generally don't need to bill Medicare for anything.

Hi Vicki, give our office a call and we'll connect you with one of Danielle's team who is licensed in your state and can help you with your options. We'll take great care of you!

Hi Paul, yes we help people with enrolling into Medigap or Medicare Advantage coverage, and if they go the the Medigap route, we also help them with setting up their Part D coverage. We limit our Part D help exclusively to people who have purchased a Medigap plan through us due to simple supply and demand. Otherwise, we can't keep up with the number of people needing Part D help each fall during the Annual Election Period when 60 million people are all trying to make their changes within a very limited window of time. However, anyone can join our free private Facebook group - called Medicare Q&A with Boomer Benefits - and there you can submit questions whether you are a client of ours or not. We answer general Medicare questions in this group all year round for anyone who needs help.

Hi Richard, we do assist our Medigap policyholders with finding their initial Part D plan, and free support in subsequent years with shopping those plans at annual renewal as well. So if you would like our help with enrolling both Plan G and Part D, we would be happy to assist. We do not offer Part D services to beneficiaries who bought their Medigap plan elsewhere, and that is a simple supply and demand issue - we literally cannot keep up with the demand for Part D help unless we limit that service exclusively to our Medigap policyholders.

Hey Blake, sorry to hear that - this is our busiest time of year because Medicare makes 60 million Medicare beneficiaries squish all their drug plan changes into a 7-week period each fall. As we get closer and closer to the December 7th deadline, we have a higher call volume every day and yesterday we fielded hundreds of calls. Are you a current client calling about making a change or do you need help with turning 65 info? Let me know your situation and we'll see if we can arrange a call to you.

It's mostly Advantage plans that offer Silver Sneakers but if you call into our office to look at South Carolina plan options, we can certainly check to see if any Medigap carriers in that state are offering Silver Sneakers.
