Medicare is in transition, we have choices
Beginning with AEP 2020, beneficiaries can still enter their medications on medicare.gov. However, they will no longer be able to save their medication lists without creating a log-in to mymedicare.gov. If you are sitting face-to-face with beneficiaries, you will likely be impacted by the lack of medicine cabinet storage/access to claims. As with any transition, there will be confusion and more calls.
Our new Medicare Advantage enrollment platform, MedicareNow!, enables you and your clients to enter and save medication lists, as well as update lists anytime to see how adding and deleting prescriptions will affect them financially—without sharing any confidential usernames and passwords.
If you'd like to save client information (and time) this AEP, watch our MedicareNow! demo to see how easy it is to use, then fill out the form to get started. Learn more.
