RED White and Blue Card Insurance 

First you should know…

• ‘‘We do not offer every plan available in your area. Any information we provide is limited to those plans we do offer in your area. Please contact Medicare.gov or call 1–800–MEDICARE to get information on all of your options.’’
• A couple of handbooks available to you… “Click Here”
• To assist in my discussion with you about Medicare. I follow Ohio’s Medicare 101 booklet. Here’s a link to the Ohio booklet: “Click here”.
  Also, the last page of the booklet offers useful phone numbers and websites to additional resources available to you from many government agencies, organizations and health agencies.

STOP the PHONE CALLS!

Please know that Medicare considers unsolicited phone calls to be a “Prohibited Practice” So if you didn’t authorize contact, they are violating the most basic rule of Medicare.

Why would you do business with them? They can not and do not offer anything more than local agents do. Additionally, local agents know the local networks available to you better than anyone not from here.

The best way to stop the calls is don’t talk to them. Don’t do business with them!
