Medicare
We would like to officially welcome you to the Cook Kid's Club! Most individuals find Medicare to be confusing and overwhelming. With so many options, rules, and deadlines to keep track of, it can be difficult to decide which plan is best for you or how to get started. We will walk you through the maze of Medicare! We are educated, trained, and certified to answer your questions. We represent most major carriers which allows us to help you find a plan that provides you with the care you need at a price you can afford.
​
We continue this ongoing service even after enrollment. We will help you understand the correspondence you receive from Medicare, the insurance carrier and your provider (doctor). We are there for you each step of the way!
We meet with our clients annually during AEP - Annual Enrollment Period (Oct. 15 – Dec. 7) to make adjustments as needed so your plan continues to meet your needs.
