Licensed insurance agent Bernie Davidson with HealthMarkets Insurance Agency can help you sort through your Medicare plan options

By Beth Newcomb

For those who will be participating in the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period, which this year runs from Sunday, October 15, until Thursday, December 7, your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) may have provided some information regarding the costs associated with your current Medicare plan and any changes for 2024. Because Medicare plans can change, there may be a possibility, says Bernie Davidson, a licensed insurance agent with HealthMarkets Insurance Agency, that your plan could offer different coverage for 2024.

“Since plans and costs can change each year, I believe it’s important to review and understand your current plan to ensure it meets your needs for 2024,” Bernie says.

He also says that part of his personal service model is to meet with his clients one-on-one to help them understand what their current plan offers them, whether it’s still going to meet their needs moving forward, and whether there are any cost increases associated with having that plan.

“With each of our clients, we dive into the details of Medicare,” he shares. “The first is prescriptions. We’ll help you ensure your medications are covered and that the cost of your prescriptions meets your budget. Then we’ll talk about your provider network. We’ll help you choose a plan that includes your doctors and hospital. Finally, we’ll discuss what your plan covers, and any costs associated with the plan.”

“As a licensed insurance agent, I want to help guide you through the Medicare Advantage enrollment process and help you find a plan that fits your needs,” Bernie says.

Aside from helping you with your Medicare options, there is a component to the process that only Bernie can offer—his friendship.

“My focus is on the people I help,” he emphasizes. “This isn’t a transactional relationship. This is about helping people. I can work with you. I’m a resource. I’m available to you throughout the year, not just during the enrollment period.”

Bernie says some clients struggle during the year to understand their plan details. He says he’s happy to help clarify things. “Medicare can be complicated or difficult to understand,” Bernie notes. “You might feel like pulling your hair out. I’m here to make things easier—and to provide guidance.”
