When insurance companies can reject a plan change for even small application mistakes, it just pays to have that extra bit of certainty that matters are handled. There are several other advantages to finding help with Medicare through a Medicare broker:
- Ongoing assistance. Even after you select a plan, if you have any questions, they are available to answer and help you make adjustments when possible.
