Medicare Open Enrollment

Blanket Health Insurance Agency Helps San Diego Resident Seniors!

Hi everyone! I’m Cyril Honz and I’m the owner of Blanket Health Insurance. I specialize in helping Seniors find Medicare Health Insurance that’s right for them.

I work out of my No. County, CA office and can be reached by phone at
1-800-963-400.
I love working with seniors on finding the Medicare Supplement that’s right for them. While I enjoy helping my friends and neighbors here in The San Diego area, I’ve also had experience working with consumers from across our great state of California!
I’d like to concentrate this blog entry on the topic of maximizing the advantages that come with the Medicare Supplement open enrollment period.
The open enrollment period starts on the first day of the month in which you are 65 or older and enrolled in Medicare Part B. Your open enrollment period lasts for six months. During this period, the insurer cannot: Deny you any Medicare Supplement policy they sell (You can not be denied!); charge you more due to your health; make you wait for the coverage to start! That, my friends, is a great deal!

I realize that consumers – when faced with difficult or complex buying decisions – will delay, delay, and delay some more. While I applaud any consumer who wants to carefully review their options in order to make the right, long term decision, I do want to make certain that for those of you who are either in decision-making mode right now or soon will be, you are ever mindful of the expiration date of your open enrollment period. Please do not delay past that deadline and lose out on the important advantages that come along with the open enrollment period.

I promised that I would make the advantages of open enrollment the focus of this blog entry but (Sorry!) I can’t help myself: I just want to also briefly mention the vital importance of actually owning a Medicare Supplement policy! While Medicare does offer important healthcare coverage to the average Senior, this coverage by itself leaves lots of “gaps” in coverage: Deductibles and coinsurance that you are responsible for can and do add up and can negatively impact the fixed incomes of the retired. I don’t need to tell you that the last couple of years have been brutal to so many retiree portfolios, as well as the portfolios of the soon-to-be-retired. Unlike the stock market, securing the right Medicare Supplement policy – at the right time! – is something we Seniors can control! I’m available at your convenience: I’m confident you’ll find me to be a caring, concerned health insurance professional who can also relate to the many issues facing Seniors today. Don’t feel you have to do this alone, folks: I’m here to help you make the decisions that are right for you today and all your tomorrows!
