Be careful of some salespeople

The State Health Insurance Assistance program (SHIP) program is interested in hearing about seniors experiences with Medicare Advantage plans also known as Medicare Part C.

We have heard from many folks that there has been challenges with insurance salespeople in their communities. EAAA wants to remind folks that salespeople should not be going to homes without an invitation (also called "cold calling") to sell Medicare Advantage plans.

Please let us know what your experiences have been and how these new Medicare private insurance products are being marketed.

Thanks, Val Sauda, Director of Community Services
