If you are 65 years or older, now is the time to either sign up for Medicare, or make changes to your existing Medicare plan. Every year, from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, you have the opportunity to review your plan options to make sure you are in the plan that fits your unique needs.

Locally, AAA has partnered with many different insurance carriers with which you are familiar, to help you make this important decision. Even if you haven’t had changes to your plan, our Medicare review team can uncover potential cost savings and additional benefits that are available to you. You don’t have to be a AAA Member to benefit from this expertise. Our AAA team members help all Medicare eligible individuals in the community by phone, online, or in person. We can arrange a time to connect online, or you can simply walk into our Amherst, Orchard Park, or Penfield offices. Appointments are also available in our Kenmore, Tonawanda, Greece, and Camillus locations.

In choosing AAA for a Medicare review, you will receive a dedicated licensed agent who is available to help you throughout the year. Locally, AAA represents many trusted insurance carriers, including Aetna, CDPHP, Excellus BlueCross Blue Shield, Highmark, Humana, Independent Health, Medigold, MVP Health Care, UnitedHealthcare, Univera Healthcare, and Wellcare.

AAA’s no-cost Medicare review is available now. Connect with the AAA Medicare team today by calling 1-877-477-7120 to receive help via phone or to set up an appointment.
