One of our top priorities is aiding those in the Medicare, over 65 market and helping this group of North Carolinians understand their options within Medicare. We are very proud to announce that our agency manager, Kennon Wainwright, has now ranked two years straight within the top Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina Medicare Advisors. In 2018, Kennon ranked Number 2 in the state of North Carolina for top performance in assisting Medicare Supplement customers.  He also ranked Number 4 in the state for Medicare Advantage. He is now a member of the Exclusive Century Club, due to his top sales and services to Medicare Beneficiaries. Kennon is honored to serve so many North Carolinians as they make these important Medicare decisions. He quickly recognizes this opportunity would not be possible without the support of the NC Health Plans team and the strength of Blue Cross Blue Shield NC products and brand.</p>
<p>If you have not previously helped a parent or spouse with Medicare, then this topic can often be very foreign. We recognize the importance of understanding your transition into Medicare, and meeting your health care needs. We also understand that with so much information to read online, navigating the Medicare market can be overwhelming. Speaking directly with one of our professionals, like Kennon, can make this confusing topic easier to understand. It is important to learn how each part of Medicare will affect you, and discover which plans will meet your needs as you make this transition.</p>
<p>If you are turning 65 or transitioning to Medicare, we would be happy to help you through this process. Give us a call to discuss your <a href="https://www.nchealthplans.com/bcbsnc-blue-medicare-supplement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BCBSNC Medicare plan</a> options. To get started on this process, <a href="https://www.nchealthplans.com/apply/?product=Medicare%20Supplement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CLICK HERE</a> to generate a custom Blue Cross NC Medicare quote.</p>

The Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) allows beneficiaries to enroll a plan, with coverage effective January 1st, 2017.  During Medicare AEP, Medicare beneficiaries may make any change to their Medicare benefits, including dropping, adding or changing Part D Prescription Drug plans. This period allows you to switch from one plan to another based on your current medical needs or because of changes to your current health plan that may require you to enroll in something new. The Annual Enrollment Period is important because if you miss it, you may not be able to make changes again until fall of 2017.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that although you are not allowed to submit an application prior to October 15th, now is the time to begin researching your NC Medicare options. Reevaluate your health care needs and see if your current plan is offering sufficient coverage benefits.  Your current Medicare plan may also make changes, such as an increase in monthly premium or availability in your area.  Make sure you are aware of any changes that might affect you so you are prepared on October 15th to make any necessary adjustments.<span id="more-8087"></span></p>
<p>It may help to <a href="https://www.nchealthplans.com/news/about-jerry-ballard-associates/" target="_blank">speak with a licensed Medicare agent or broker</a> who can help you evaluate plans and benefits and aid you in deciding what kind of plan best suits your needs.  At NC Health Plans we specialize in helping Medicare recipients choose and enroll supplemental Medicare plans with ease and efficiency. If you are a Medicare recipient or have a parent or relative who is eligible for Medicare, don&#8217;t miss this year&#8217;s Medicare Annual Enrollment Period!</p>
