Medicare Plans

Medicare, like all health insurance programs, can be very complicated. In fact, we found that over 50% of seniors enrolling in Medicare during open enrollment found choosing the right plan confusing, and more than one-third of seniors did not feel prepared to choose the right plan. Medicare Plans is a Medicare plans resource center (Note: they do not sell or provide healthcare plans), they’ve made it their mission to tackle the challenges associated with Medicare.

Their newly updated resource on Medicare in Iowa helps guide seniors through all of the available Medicare plan options and provides a list of helpful community organizations across Iowa that can further support seniors with choosing a plan that meets their financial and medical needs.
