This link in red has more info on signing up for a Medicare Advantage or Medicare Supplement or a Prescription Drug Plan — Medicare Health plans.
Marketing regulations for Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plan, created by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), require John:
To disclose to or inform Medicare beneficiaries, when providing any information about Medicare Plans, such as on this website, that:
● He is appointed and certified by all six Medicare Advantage (MA) companies offering plans in New London County in 2026 — the primary part of CT where he helps individuals.
● He is pleased to offer beneficiaries any of the 19 regular MA options from these companies even though some do not provided compensation. He does not focus on special needs plans
● He is also appointed and certified by the six Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) companies. Thus, he is able to to offer beneficiaries all 11 plans available in New London County and CT even though some do not provided compensation.
● To inform beneficiaries they may also receive help with the plan choices in New London County by contacting:
+ Medicare.gov or
+ CT's State Health Insurance Program (SHIP).
< - - > However, help from them will not be from a licensed or certified professional.
CMS's marketing regulations require any discussion, about plan coverage details or enrolling in a Medicare Advantage or Prescription Drug Plan during a telephone call to be recorded.
However, face-to-face conversation are a more effective way to increase understanding and they do not have to be recorded.
Note: CMS regulations also state information created to describe Medicare Plans, such as this site, that does not mention company names, or specific plan benefits, or plan costs is considered communication material. This website provides communications not marketing material so it does not have to be approved.
The MediCare rules for advertising on TV now say ads:
● Can not ask anyone with MediCare to call other than during each Fall Annual Coordinated Election Period (AEP) ( 10/1 to 12/7 )
Only individuals turning 65 or leaving an employer medical plan can call at other times of the year.
[Details on the times * * to enroll in a Medicare Health Plan enrollment periods are in the red ink at the bottom of this section.]
● Are not to mention a plan's specific benefits unless the plan is available to all individuals in the area with MediCare.
● From a marketing organization that mentions specific benefits, not a Medicare Advantage company, must state the name of the company offering this benefit.
Bottom line - many Medicare Advantage ads are not following the rules!
Another TV ad about planning for retirement mentions they also help individuals with Medicare and says - Buy their MediGap plan! [A Medicare Supplement plan] But:
+ This company's plan has not been approved in CT!
Call if you have any questions about the ads you see!
Note: Calling John means you are committed to talk, not to enroll.
* * Individuals can only enroll in a Medicare Advantage (MA) plan or a Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) during times set by CMS. The signup times are highlighted on this red link called — enrollment periods.
