The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented on Oct 1, 2023, new marketing regulations for Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plans. They require John, when he provides any information about Medicare Plans, such as on this website, to disclose to or inform Medicare beneficiaries that:
● He is appointed and certified by all eight Medicare Advantage (MA) companies that offer 2024 plans in New London County — the only area where he helps individuals. John's focus is to offer beneficiaries the 33 regular MA from these companies, not the special needs plans
● He is also appointed and certified by six of the eight Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) companies with plans available in New London County and CT.
Note: The other two PDP companies do not offer plans through MediCare insurance professionals. However, John can share insights about all the PDP plans in CT using Medicare.gov. He can not, however, process an enrollment for plans from the two PDP companies!
● Help with the plan choices in New London County is also available by contacting:
+ Medicare.gov or
+ CT's State Health Insurance Program (SHIP).
< - - > However, this help will not be from a licensed or certified professional.
CMS's new rules also require any discussion about plan coverage details or enrolling in a Medicare Advantage or Prescription Drug Plan that takes place during a telephone call to be recorded. However, face-to-face conversations that are more effective do not have to be recorded.
Note: CMS regulations also state that information created to describe Medicare Plans that do not mention a company name, specific plan benefit details, or plan costs, such as the content on this website, is considered communication material, not marketing material.
