Preparing for Medicare enrollment with ApexAssistants

Medicare’s enrollment period, known as the Annual Election Period (AEP), starts on October 15 and lasts through December 7. (We go into more detail about this in a previous blog post.) As you are preparing for Medicare by reviewing your Medicare plan options, the ApexHealth team wants you to know that ApexAssistants are here to help. Let’s dive into the many ways they can assist with enrollment.

ApexAssistants can guide you through the Medicare enrollment process. This includes assisting you with completing an application over the phone, enrolling through ApexHealth’s online portal or sending you a paper enrollment form in the mail.

2. ApexAssistants can help you review your current coverage, out-of-pocket costs, and other customer considerations.

ApexAssistants work with you to better manage your unique health care, based on your unique needs. This means reviewing your coverage, out-of-pocket costs, and customer considerations including prescription drug coverage, in-network doctors and supplemental benefits including dental, vision and hearing.
