Starting in October, you might receive mail from different insurance companies about the plans they offer. You can use this information to compare your options. But remember, these companies have to follow specific rules when they market their plans.
If you think you have experienced marketing violations, you should report them. Your local SHIP or SMP can explain the government’s marketing rules, help you review the incident, and report it to the correct authorities if needed. Contact information for your SHIP, SMP, and Medicare are at the bottom of this flyer.
