Most Medicare marketing pretends one of these is obviously better.

It isn't. They're different trades.

We walk you through both.

I graded every way I've watched people pick a Medicare plan.

Two got an F. One got an S. Most people are using the F.

C: Whatever your neighbor has. You trust them. That's why it feels safe. But they don't take your prescriptions or see your doctors, so their good plan is built for their life, not yours.

C: Medicare.gov plan finder. Strong on medication costs. Weak on doctor networks. And it resets every January, so it's a project you inherit every year.

B: Read your Annual Notice of Change. Every year, no exceptions. It tells you what changed on your plan. It can't tell you whether a different plan now fits you better.

F: The biggest grocery or OTC card. I've watched people pick the plan with the highest card, then find out their doctors aren't in network. The extra benefits cards won't get you very far if you can't see the doctors you want.

F: The 1-800 number on TV. The carriers have enormous ad budgets and they spend them. Call it and you reach a call center several states away that doesn't know your situation and won't be there in March.

S: Start your own list. Doctors. Prescriptions. Pharmacy. Without it, nothing else on this list works, including me.

A: A local agent, every year. Costs you nothing. Knows the Lexington market. Compares every option in one place, and is still around when the bill looks wrong, or you're not sure the dentist is covered.

Write the list this week. That's the S tier, and it's free.

Then, if you want the A tier, tap Call Now or dial 859-618-6443. That's my desk, not a call center. Or use the link below to book your Medicare Annual Review directly on my calendar.

Next year's plans go public October 1. I'm filling October slots now, so grab one, and I'll have your plan changes pulled before we talk.

Working with your local Medicare advisor never costs you a penny, because the carriers pay me the same no matter which plan you land on.

The most important piece of mail you'll get this year is about to show up. Most people won't finish reading it.

It's called the Annual Notice of Change. Every Medicare Advantage plan sends one in September.

It lists everything different about your plan in 2027. Premiums. Copays. Drug Cost. Which benefits changed.

And it reads like a legal document.

If you're already one of my clients, you know the drill. Bring it in, or don't even open it, and I'll walk you through it.

If you're not, and you don't have someone who does this for you, my calendar is open for 2027 reviews starting October 1. In-office here in Lexington or by phone. About 30 minutes.

If your first Kentucky game was on a wooden bench at the Coliseum, it's probably time to check your Medicare plan for 2027.

Annual Enrollment is October 15 to December 7. Our team is booking 2027 reviews now, beginning October 1!

In your review, we check:

- Are your doctors still in the plan for 2027
- What your prescriptions will cost in January
- What the plan charges when you actually use it
- Whether you're using every benefit you qualify for. Dental, vision, the OTC card, a food card if your plan has one. Most people aren't.

All of our services are no cost to you.

Call us today to schedule your Annual Medicare Review at (859) 785-8289!

Your enrollment window is 7 months.

It opens 3 months before your 65th birthday month.

Enroll in those first 3 months and coverage starts the first of your birthday month.

Save this.

Send it to whoever in your life has a birthday coming.

Two people in Fayette County started the same weight loss shot the same month in 2024.

Same drug. Same dose. Same BMI on the day they started. Both on Medicare.

This September, one of them is still paying full price at the counter. The other one pays $50.

The difference isn't their doctor, their plan, or their weight. It's one form.

Medicare has never paid for a weight loss shot. As of July 1 it does, through a test program called the GLP-1 Bridge. The video covers who qualifies and who doesn't. This is the part that decides which of those two people you are.

The BMI rule is measured from the day you started, not today. People who've already lost weight assume they've aged out. They haven't. The doctor attests to the starting number.

The order matters. Prescription to the pharmacy first. Then the pharmacy sends your doctor the form. Doctor files first, it bounces back "patient not found," and most people quit right there.

The $50 doesn't touch your deductible or your yearly cap. It's its own line.

It runs through December 2027. After that, nobody knows.

The full rules are on Medicare.gov. Search "GLP-1 Bridge." Print the fact sheet and take it to the appointment. Most offices haven't seen it yet.

And if you're on Medicare in central Kentucky and want to know whether your drug plan is one of the ones that works with this, message me. Two-minute answer.

The question we get most isn't about premiums.

It's "can I keep my doctor at UK HealthCare?" Or "is Baptist Health in this network?"

The answer is different plan to plan. And it changes year to year.

Nobody we work with enrolls until their doctors and their hospital are verified by name.

Not from a brochure. From the current directory.

Come by sometime.

It's a loud time of year. The mail, the commercials, the phone calls. Most of it is written to move you somewhere, not to tell you anything.

My office is at 1029 Monarch Street, Suite 110, right here in Lexington.

Come in and I'll pour you a cup of coffee, and we'll go through the plan for 2027. I'll show you the doctor list so you can see for yourself who's still on it. I'll pull up what the prescriptions will cost at the counter. And I'll show you what the plan charges when you actually use it, which is the number that matters and the one nobody puts in the commercial.

You'll leave with the numbers in front of you. Working with a local Medicare Advisor doesn't cost you a penny.

We've already started filling the calendar for reviews after October 1st. Call, and we'll get you a spot. (859) 785-8289

Talk soon,

If you are on a Medicare Advantage Plan, here are three things to be sure to check during the Medicare Annual Enrollment, which runs from October 15th to December 7th.

1. Whether your doctors are still covered in 2027.

3. Your "Max Out of Pocket" for 2027.

If you have any questions about your Medicare plan, a member of our team at Tyler Insurance Group would be glad to help. Call (859) 785-8289.
