The Important Points:

We do NOT represent ALL of the drug plans in the country. This is on purpose, as we only researched thoroughly and have chosen to work with certain ones for the benefit of our clients.

The default effective date for plans is the first of the next month, except during the AEP season, when it is then January 1st.

If you are currently on a Medicare Advantage plan, and sign up for a Part D plan, this will disenroll you from that Medicare Advantage plan. Make sure you first have been approved for a Medicare Supplement, if you are applying for one.

We are a provider of insurance products, services and information, dedicated to making the insurance shopping and buying process easy, enjoyable, clear and convenient. Our mission and intense focus on helping the customer understand today’s countless insurance choices unite our independent brands and set us apart from others in the insurance industry.
