There is no charge to the individual for using the services of a licensed health insurance agent—the commission is entirely paid by the carrier. The carrier is prohibited from selling the policy any cheaper if an individual does not use an agent.

Please be aware that I never share contact numbers or email addresses with anyone and all personal information is kept absolutely confidential. No one will call you unless you ask to be called and the only person you would talk with is me. Thanks for visiting. Please let me know how I can help you. John K Arnold

The annual Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D Prescription plan open enrollment has changed for 2011. It is from 10-15-2011 until 12-07-2011. During this period anyone on Medicare whether over age 65 Medicare or under age 65 disability Medicare can sign up for a Medicare Advantage or Medicare Prescription plan. This is truly an open enrollment period where you have freedom make changes. In this period you do not need a reason, you just can change because you want to. During this time, AEP, Medicare beneficiaries may change prescription drug plans, change Medicare Advantage plans, return to original Medicare, or enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan for the first time. Enrollment changes take effect on January 1.
