Why an independent broker beats a 1-800 number

Call a national 1-800 line and you'll talk to an agent paid to sell one carrier's plans. We represent 10 A-rated carriers and shop them all. We earn the same commission whichever carrier we place you with — so we have no reason to push you toward a specific company. We're paid by the carriers when we place a policy; you pay nothing for our help, ever.

And once you're a client, you stay a client. We re-shop your plan every year during AEP, verify your doctors and medications haven't fallen out of network, and answer your questions throughout the year — for the life of the policy.

Frequently asked questions — Mount Prospect

I'm retiring from United / American — when do I switch from group coverage to Medicare?+

Generally at age 65, but the timing depends on your specific retiree health benefit. We coordinate with your HR team to avoid coverage gaps and late-enrollment penalties.

Are most Northwest Community physicians in Medicare Advantage networks?+

Most are, but specific plans vary. We verify your physicians plan-by-plan before recommending anything — every year, before AEP closes.

What's the difference between AEP and the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period?+

AEP (Oct 15–Dec 7) lets anyone on Medicare switch plans. The MA Open Enrollment Period (Jan 1–Mar 31) only lets MA enrollees switch to a different MA plan or back to Original Medicare.
