Charlotte Regional and Peace River Regional Medical Centers Launch Medicare Insurance Helpline
A Resource to Help Clarify Medicare Insurance Options
PUNTA GORDA, FL (October 15, 2013) – There are more Medicare insurance options than ever before, and navigating through the information can be time consuming and confusing. To help people find the right plan for them, Charlotte Regional and Peace River Regional Medical Centers have launched a free Medicare Insurance Helpline – 1- 855-256-1502.
The new helpline, serviced by MedicareCompareUSA, is staffed by licensed Medicare insurance specialists who provide unbiased assistance. Helpline representatives begin the process by identifying Medicare plans accepted by an individual’s physicians and hospital, including regional and national Medicare Advantage and Medicare supplement plans. They can provide plan comparisons, help determine the most cost-effective Medicare prescription plan, and email or mail Medicare plan materials. Representatives are also available to assist in the enrollment process and answer Medicare-related questions. All helpline services are provided at no cost, as MedicareCompareUSA is compensated by the plan chosen by the Medicare beneficiary.
