How to Apply for Medicare Advantage Coverage

Applying for Medicare Advantage coverage is quick and easy.  You can do it online *, or just print out your application and mail it to us.

Gather the following information before you start the application in order to speed the process:

1. Address, phone number, social security number, and date of birth
2. Name of the plan you are applying for
3. Your Medicare Claim Number and Effective Date
4. Payment Information to cover future premiums, if you are selecting a plan including Part D prescription coverage

1. Choose a plan

Medicare Advantage plans are offered by many different insurance companies.  One recent report showed over 1200 Medicare Advantage on the market, though over 700 of these plans had less than 100 participants.  Medigap Advisors recommends going with a l large company that has a long track record of stability, one that will be there for you for many years to come.  That is why MediGap Advisors recommends Medicare Advantage plans from:

• Aetna
  
• Cigna
  
• Coventry
  
• United HealthCare
  
• Universal American

You can check to see which plans are available in your area here.  Remember, most Medicare Advantage plans have no monthly premium.  However, there are some Medicare Advantage plans available with Part D prescription coverage included.  These plans all charge a nominal monthly premium.

You may mail your application to the address below:

Or fax to 866-284-0082.

Please fill out the application Completely.  Any unanswered questions will delay the processing.  If you have any questions about filling out the application, give us a call at 866-323-1441, or email us at info@MediGapAdvisors.com.

3. Choose Your Initial Payment Option

Only some Medicare Advantage plans with Part D prescription drugs included have a premium.  If you choose one of these plans, you can have your monthly premium automatically deducted from your Social Security check, or you can receive a bill each month.

If you choose to have the payment deducted from your Social Security check, simply submit your application and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield will contact you to set up this deduction.

If you prefer to have your premium automatically deduct your premium and any state-mandated fees from your checking account each month, simply enter your account information on page two of your application.  If you do not choose this option, you will be sent a bill in the mail each month.  Since failure to pay your monthly invoice within 31 days of the due date could result in the cancellation of your coverage, we recommend using the Electronic Funds Transfer option. 

If you qualify for extra help with your Medicare Prescription Drug coverage costs, Medicare may cover all or some portion of your plan premium.  In this case you will only be responsible for the remaining premium.

Guarantee: All plans come with a money-back guarantee.  After receiving your policy, you have 30 days to review it.  If for any reason you decide not to keep the policy, you will receive a full refund of your initial premium. 

Please note that all applications will be submitted in the name of Wiley Long, the president of MediGap Advisors.  If you have already been working directly with one of our advisors, then that person will be noted in our system as your Personal Advisor.
