2020 Medicare Advantage Plans Kane County, Utah

Comparing 2020 Medicare Advantage plans to find the best options in Kane County, Utah? You're in the right place.

Unlike Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, which are a statewide option, Medicare Advantage Plans vary by county. The reason for this is simple. Not all areas have the same healthcare resources or needs, so county-by-county plans work better.

How-To Enroll in a 2020 Medicare Advantage Plan in Kane County

Most people living in Utah, age 65 and older, qualify to enroll in Medicare Advantage. An exception is a disqualifying illness, such as End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

You can join or switch plans during a Medicare Election Period. For most people, the Annual Election Period (AEP), which starts on 15 October and ends 7 December, is the time they update their enrollment.

You also have an Individual Election Period (IEP). Your IEP begins the month before your 65th birthday, includes your birth month, and continues the month after your birth month.

There are three ways to enroll:

1. Call a plan directly. If you know the plan you want, this way is quick and easy.
2. Go to www.Medicare.gov and enroll through the government website. From there you can look up your medications, compare plans, and get your application started online.
3. Use an independent Utah insurance agent. This is the best way to go if you need someone to help advise you.
