Your doctors, prescriptions, and healthcare needs should be at the center of your Medicare decisions. But when plan details change, knowing what to review can feel overwhelming.
In this episode of The Medicare Made Simple Podcast, Lance O’Brien is joined by Becky, MediConnect’s Vice President of Sales, to discuss the questions her team is hearing during the Annual Enrollment Period and what people should look at when reviewing their coverage for 2027.
Together, they talk through doctor networks, prescription drug costs, changes to extra benefits, and why a plan that works for someone else may not be the right fit for you. Becky also shares the personal experience that shaped her commitment to helping people understand their Medicare options.
