Selecting the right 2025 Medicare Part D prescription drug plan or private insurer’s Medicare Advantage plan during open enrollment, ending Dec. 7, is no picnic. In fact, 88% of beneficiaries in an eHealth survey said shopping for a plan is confusing and overwhelming.
That’s why roughly one in three people in Medicare hire an agent or broker. (Independent agents represent multiple insurers and are paid by the companies; brokers, also generally paid by insurers, let people choose policies and send them to agents for purchases.) But there’s a big problem using a Medicare agent right now.
