Monday Medicare Tip of the Week:

Did you know that your Medicare plan isn't something you should choose once and forget about?

Every year, things can change:
✔️ Your prescription drug costs
✔️ Your doctor's network
✔️ Your preferred pharmacy
✔️ Your monthly premiums
✔️ Copays and deductibles
✔️ Extra benefits like dental, vision, hearing, or over-the-counter allowances

Even if you're happy with your current coverage, taking a few minutes to review it each year can help ensure it's still the best fit for your needs and budget.

One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is:
"I've had this plan for years, so it must still be the best one for me."

Sometimes that's absolutely true—and I'll be the first to tell you to keep exactly what you have. Other times, a simple review uncovers opportunities to save money or gain benefits that better fit your lifestyle.

As an independent local agent here in Oklahoma, my goal is to help you understand your options and make informed decisions-without pressure and at no cost to you.

If you have questions about:
• Medicare Advantage
• Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans
• Prescription Drug Plans
• Extra Help (LIS)
• Medicare Savings Programs
• Or you're turning 65 and aren't sure where to start...

I'm always happy to help.

Question for the week: What's the one thing about Medicare that's always seemed confusing or overwhelming to you? Drop it in the comments or send me a message, and I'll be happy to help you understand your options with clear, straightforward guidance.

One of the highlights of my week is getting to teach beginner pickleball and meet so many great people in our community.
It's never really just about pickleball. It's about staying active, making new friends, building confidence, and having fun together. I've watched people who were nervous to step on the court become regular players and form lasting friendships. In many ways, that's also how I approach my work as an independent health insurance agent. I enjoy educating people, answering questions, and helping them feel confident in their decisions—whether they're turning 65, reviewing their Medicare coverage, looking at health insurance options, or planning for retirement.
If you see me on the pickleball courts, don't hesitate to say hello or ask a question. I'm always happy to help. And if you've been thinking about learning pickleball, I'd love to see you out there too!

Whether you’re brand new to pickleball or already playing several times a week, our June programs are a great way to improve your game in a fun and welcoming environment. 🎾

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for the Community Meal at the Healthy Living Center!

I always enjoy these gatherings because they provide an opportunity to meet new people, reconnect with familiar faces, and share helpful information about Medicare in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

It's inspiring to be part of a community that values learning, staying informed, and supporting one another. I appreciate everyone who took the time to attend, ask questions, and be part of the conversation.

Be sure to follow the Healthy Living Center's page to stay up to date on upcoming community meals and educational events. I'll be back again for future Medicare education sessions, and if you ever have questions, you can also find me at the Healthy Living Center on Saturday mornings teaching Beginner Pickleball. Feel free to stop by, say hello, and ask any Medicare questions you may have.

Thanks again for a wonderful afternoon, and I look forward to seeing everyone again soon!

Longer days, family vacations, backyard cookouts, and plenty of time to enjoy everything Oklahoma has to offer.

As you make plans for the season, it's also a great time to take a quick look at your health coverage and make sure it still fits your needs and budget.

Wishing everyone a safe, healthy, and fun-filled summer!

Today we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.

As we spend time with family and friends, let's take a moment to honor the heroes whose courage and service secured the freedoms we enjoy every day.

Happy Memorial Day.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to spend some time at a local memory care community and even drop in on one of their fun activities—a Tacos & Bingo Night!

It was great to see residents, families, and staff enjoying time together and creating meaningful moments. The warm, welcoming atmosphere and genuine care shown by the team was evident throughout the evening.

Thank you for your hospitality and for the important work you do every day. It's inspiring to see people so dedicated to enriching the lives of seniors and supporting their families. Legend Assisted Living and Memory Care at Rivendell
