After a disruptive 2025 with major Medicare reforms, I'm glad to report that 2026 is looking much calmer.
Zoom Carrier Sessions
One good thing that came out of COVID is that we all learned how to use Zoom and FaceTime, making it easier to see who we’re talking with. I’d love to see you on Zoom for a 30-minute session focused on plan-specific updates for 2026.
I’ll be reviewing plans with UnitedHealthcare, Humana, WellCare, Aetna, and others. Sessions are posted on the calendar link below—grab a Zoom that works for you!
You’ll receive an outline of benefits from your carrier, but these notices are often long and hard to read. During the Zoom, we’ll provide a Cliff Notes version that’s reassuring and easy to understand.
See the dates and links below, and remember: Matthew can help with details and instructions.
Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask questions!

Medicare Plan Update Meetings
The link is live, and I will be hosting sessions daily at 11:30 AM.
Details:
Each meeting will last 30 minutes.
We’ll review plan changes relative to your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC), focusing on the carriers listed for that day.
There will be time for your specific questions.
Preparation:
You should have already received your Annual Notice of Change letters. Please review these before attending. While the session will not cover every detail, it will highlight the most important differences—especially since many plans have reduced or changed benefits for the 2025 plan year.
Key Points:
Many older plans are being discontinued.
Some members may need to be enrolled into new plans.
Not all plans will be automatically transitioned, so action may be required.
These sessions are designed to give you clarity and outline your next steps (if any are needed).
