Agency helps demystify Medicare coverage
The Medicare open enrollment period is Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, and seniors looking to maximize their health plans can turn to MediSource, an independent insurance
agency in Sherwood that helps beneficiaries navi- gate the Medicare system.
“Medicare eligibility brings a lot of anxiety and uncertainty to seniors as they begin their retire- ment,” said David Cassinelli, senior health adviser. “Our service is very rewarding in that we are able to put seniors at ease and simplify a stressful process.”
He and RD Roulston, agency founder and prin- cipal, are licensed Medicare insurance specialists. Together, they have more than 20 years experience in the Medicare field.
The agents guide seniors through the enrollment process and help them choose coverage to supple- ment their Medicare plans, covering out-of-pocket costs that might not be covered by Medicare. As in- dependent brokers, the agency offers all major insur- ance carriers to fit each client’s needs and budget.
“We still believe in sitting down in person with our clients,” Roulston said. “We will travel anywhere in
Arkansas to meet with our clients and educate them on their Medicare options.”
MediSource also offers up-to-date information about regulations, enrollment periods and guar- anteed-issue periods to help seniors avoid penal- ties and lapses in coverage. Cassinelli and Roulston are always available to assist clients with questions concerning coverages and claims. The agents also provide a review of coverage each year during the Annual Election Period.
“We hope everyone wants to stay healthy; and if you do, your Medicare coverage is step one in achiev- ing a healthy lifestyle,” Roulston said. “This decision is also very impactful on your financial future.”
MediSource can advise individuals approaching 65 and those older than 65 who have continued group coverage but are considering retirement, as well as individuals who are eligible for Medicare Disability. Cassinelli encourages seniors to ask about the newest Medicare Advantage Plan in Arkansas from Allwell.
