12 Reasons to Use Roman Brokers Insurance

Understanding Your Need

Today, millions of Medicare beneficiaries find the process of selecting coverage so difficult and overwhelming that they simply give up and guess or choose the wrong plan out of frustration. The wrong decisions can cost them hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars every year.

An article in the Journal of Health Economics reports that over 90% of people with Medicare prescription drug coverage overpay by about 15 percent of expected total out-of-pocket cost each year for drugs and Part D insurance because of sub-optimal plan choices, and a significant number make mistakes that cost them more than $1,000 annually.

According to a 2016 study by the Clear Choices Campaign and NCOA , seniors often did not select Part D plans that offer them the best value. The study found that in 2006, beneficiaries could have saved an average of 19% to 33% on their Medicare Part D expenses if they had selected a plan that best matched their medical circumstances. Only 11% of beneficiaries chose the best plan in 2006; this number fell to 8% to 9% in 2007-2008 and 2% in 2009. About 90% of people simply stuck with the same plan they chose the previous year, despite costing them considerably more!

Consumers spend even more money on Medigap and Medicare Advantage plans. 60% of people with Medicare say they are overwhelmed by the process of choosing a health plan.

Independent Broker Versus Captive Agent

When it comes to finding a licensed agent to help you with Medicare choices, there are two broad types of agents: Independent and Captive. Though both are qualified, they differ in several significant ways.

The Limitations of Captive Agents

  1. They work for a single insurance company and know and sell only that company’s Medicare products.
  2. They can only represent and provide quotes for the Medicare plans their company offers. They cannot offer you alternatives from other insurance companies for comparison.
  3. They try to sell their company’s products no matter if it is the right fit for their client or if the client can find a better plan fit somewhere else.

The Freedom of Independent Brokers

  1. We work as a broker between you and many different insurance companies.
  2. We are not obligated to represent one particular company. Rather, we are loyal to our client. We can find you the best deal for your needs.
  3. We shop many different insurance companies to find the right policy for our client. We have carrier AND plan options from which to choose. We can speak with you about the specific coverage options you need in your policy, as each insurance company has different plan benefits, rates, networks, service areas and more.
  4. We have access to plans that fit budgets of all sizes and individual preferences.
  5. We find you exactly what you need, putting your needs first. As brokers (or independent agents), we make our living and build our credibility by making our clients happy, not by trying to fit your specific needs into a single company’s plan options.

8 Benefits of Using an Independent Broker

  2. Service at no cost to you – The insurance company provides a commission to Roman Brokers Insurance when you enroll in a plan. Your cost will not differ whether you work with us or enroll on your own. Why not get the help of a knowledgeable and licensed insurance sales agent who can make the process of enrolling easier? Get the help you need from a well-informed, experienced independent broker, even if you don’t decide to purchase the policy through us.
