We built Healthpilot to do all of the work for you. You tell us about yourself…we sift through all the details to find the best plan for your needs.

Nada. Zip. Nothing.

Once you tell us a little about you and how you use your healthcare, we deliver a tailored Medicare plan recommendation. Once you are a Healthpilot customer, we do this every year to help you evaluate if you are still in the right plan for your needs. Medicare plan coverage should never be in a “set it and forget it” category. Medicare plans may change every year, right along with your unique healthcare needs. We will reevaluate your needs (based off the information you provide) and available plans in your area every year to return to you our best recommendation along with an easy enrollment process.

Unfortunately, no. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is a federal agency that is in charge of the Medicare program. While CMS is the entity that provides you Original Medicare (Parts A and/or B) coverage, your application and eligibility for Original Medicare is processed through the Social Security Administration (SSA). This is because the SSA manages some eligibility requirements on behalf of Medicare, such as determining:

• If you are a United States citizen or lawful citizen (who has lived in the U.S. for at least five years).
• If you’ve paid Medicare taxes long enough to get Part A for free, a.k.a. Premium-Free Part A.
• If you have a qualified disability to be eligible for Medicare benefits.
• If you are eligible to apply for Extra Help assistance with Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage (Part D) costs.
• If your income limit is above a certain amount and you’ll need to pay an extra amount in addition to your Part D
• plan premium, called Income Related Monthly Adjusted Amount (IRMAA).

Signing up is easy. You can do it online at Social Security. It’s the easiest and quickest way to sign up and get help if you need it. Or if you prefer the phone, just call 1-800-772-1213 to talk to Social Security. (TTY: 1-800-325-0778).

If you or your spouse worked for a railroad, call the Railroad Retirement Board at 1-877-772-5772. (TTY: (312) 751-4701)

Once you tell us about how you use your healthcare, Healthpilot’s proprietary technology predicts how much you would likely pay out-of-pocket and how much you could potentially save with each available plan.

Healthpilot then recommends a plan based on your specific needs and presents the plan details in an easy-to-understand way. We then built a tool where you can enroll directly online.

There is never any pressure to enroll. No pushy salespeople. No hidden costs. Just the right Medicare plan for you — a plan that you can have confidence in.

We recommend that you update your information whenever there are life changes, such as a new doctor(s), prescription(s), pharmacies in addition to other scenarios as if you move. For more information about special election periods, visit our Resource Center.

Medicare plans may change each year and so may your healthcare needs. Healthpilot updates the Medicare plan information presented on the website. Even if your information hasn’t changed, you should come back to Healthpilot to review your plan information to see if there may be a better plan option for your needs. If your information has changed, easily update your profile. After updating your Healthpilot profile with any new information, we will evaluate which Medicare plan may best serve you. Healthpilot may recommend you remain with the same plan or highlight another plan that may be better for you.
