Listen up… Medicare Annual Election Period is right around the corner!

If you have Medicare, this is a great time to take a fresh look at your coverage and make sure it still works well for you.

During AEP, October 15–December 7, you can review your current plan and explore your options for the year ahead.

Plans, benefits, and costs can change from year to year, so taking a little time to review your coverage now can help you feel confident about the year ahead.

We’re here if you have questions or just want someone to walk through it with you. 😊

📅 Medicare AEP: October 15 – December 7

Q4 is here, which means it’s a great time for employers to review their employee benefits!

When you’re looking at your group health plan, don’t forget that major medical is just one piece of the benefits puzzle.

Whether you’re looking to enhance your current benefits, add voluntary options, or simply see what’s available, we’re always happy to talk through the possibilities.

👀 Your Medicare Advantage plan could look different in 2027.

If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, don’t assume everything will stay the same next year.

Your premium, copays, prescription coverage, provider network, and extra benefits can all change from year to year. Some plans may even leave certain areas.

📬 This fall, watch for your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC). It will explain what’s changing with your plan for 2027.

And if you think you may want to make a change, now is a great time to schedule an appointment and start looking at your options. You don’t have to wait until Open Enrollment to start the conversation!

🗓️ Medicare Annual Election Period runs October 15–December 7, giving you time to review your options and make a change for the upcoming year.

💙 Your Medicare plan should fit your doctors, prescriptions, budget, and needs—not just what worked last year.

🦷💙 Cool fact for this hot Louisiana weather! ☀️

If your child has an ACA/Marketplace health plan with BCBS, did you know there is NO annual maximum benefit for covered pediatric dental services? 🙌

That’s huge!

Many families shop for separate dental coverage without realizing their child may already have valuable dental benefits included with their health plan.

That’s one reason having an agent can make such a difference. We’re here to help you understand what your plan includes and make sure you know your options. 💙

Enjoy the long weekend, stay safe, and thank you to everyone who works hard to make our communities stronger!

Happy Labor Day from all of us!

💙 Okay, Louisiana… have you heard about BRIDGE BLUE?!
Not sure an ACA/Marketplace plan is right for you? Bridge Blue may be an option worth exploring.

Bridge Blue plans are designed more like traditional health plans and use medical underwriting, which means qualified individuals in good health may be able to get significantly lower monthly premiums.

✨ A few things to know:
• Coverage is provided for 11 months and may be renewed twice, subject to approval.
• $1,000,000 maximum benefit
• Medical underwriting applies
• Some benefits, including newborn care and pediatric dental/vision, are not included
• Maternity coverage has a separate deductible

Bridge Blue isn't the right fit for everyone, but if you're healthy and looking for an alternative to an ACA plan, it's worth taking a look.

📩 Not sure which option is right for you? We're happy to help you compare your choices and find the coverage that fits your needs. 💙
