Medicare Shop and Compare Resources

Sponsored by Buffalo Medical Group

Understanding and shopping for Medicare coverage can be an overwhelming task. As your partner in health, we want you to know we’re here for you.

Since everyone’s needs are different, it’s important to understand and compare the options available so you can make an informed decision that’s best for your situation. Below are a few resources that may be helpful as you review —including how to contact an independent licensed agent who can help you understand and evaluate your options.

    Need help navigating your Medicare options?

    A licensed Medicare broker is a professional that is independent of any specific health plan, is appointed to represent multiple health plans, and can review your specific needs and help you compare Medicare coverage options for this enrollment year.

    We can put you in touch with brokers that understand the Senior Care Advantage ONE program. These brokers can help you evaluate coverage options to find one that meets your needs. With your permission, we will give your contact information to a broker to contact you to discuss coverage options.
