Medicare Advantage

Medicare, without the confusion

Between enrollment periods, plan letters, and shifting provider networks, Medicare can feel like a maze. Christine reviews your options in plain language and rechecks your plan every year.

How it works

One plan, matched to your doctors and budget

Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans bundle your hospital and medical coverage — often with prescription drug coverage and extra benefits — into a single plan through a private insurer. As an independent broker, Christine can compare plans across multiple carriers in your area rather than steering you toward just one company.

  • A side-by-side comparison of plans available in your area
  • Confirmation that your current doctors and pharmacies are in-network
  • A review of prescription drug coverage against your actual medications
  • A look at extra benefits like dental, vision, and hearing where available

When to talk to Christine

Key Medicare timelines worth knowing

Missing an enrollment window can mean waiting months for coverage — or paying more for it. A short conversation ahead of time avoids both.

  • Initial Enrollment Period — the 7-month window around your 65th birthday
  • Annual Enrollment Period — October 15 to December 7 each year, for switching plans
  • Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment — January 1 to March 31, for a one-time plan switch
  • Special Enrollment Periods — triggered by moves, losing coverage, or other qualifying events

Common questions

Medicare Advantage, plainly explained

What's the difference between Medicare Advantage and Medigap?

Medicare Advantage bundles your coverage into one plan, often with extra benefits. Medigap works alongside Original Medicare to cover cost-sharing. Christine can walk through which fits your situation.

Can I switch plans if mine isn't working for me?

Yes — there are specific windows each year to switch, and Christine reviews your plan annually so you're not stuck with one that no longer fits.

Will I still have my same doctors?

That depends on the plan's network. Confirming your providers are in-network is one of the first things Christine checks before recommending a plan.

Is there a cost to talk to Christine?

No — consultations are free, and there's no obligation to enroll in anything.
