 Educating Consumers About Medicare 
                                                            

  Have your experienced the Medicare and Medicare Supplement extravaganza?
  Statistics show that 75% of folks 65 or older are in the wrong plan and over 90% do no understand the difference between Medicare, Medicate Advantage and supplemental insurance.
  What a bumpy, exhausting experience this can be but there is hope at the end of the tunnel if you can talk to professionals like Jaclyn Cutrone at Medicare One.
  Twenty-four year-old senior account executive Jaclyn Cutrone is a graduate of W. T. Clarke High School, Nassau Community College and the POH's Institute Insurance School where she received her Accident, Life and Health Insurance license.
  Professionalism is personified by Jaclyn at Medicare One where she provides each inquiry with a need analysis (ie-how often they go to the doctor, what is important to them to have in an insurance plan and importantly ask questions about their prescriptions.......she then recommends a plan based on their needs.
  When asked why she takes such a sincere approach to her job she notes, "I love educating people on what I know and have learned over the years and love helping them understand what insurance they currently have and if they are in the right plan for their needs and also if they are paying too much a nd not getting the proper coverage."
  And Jaclyn doesn't just drop the customer after they have selected a policy that fills their needs. She exemplifies the true meaning of customer service which she calls "very important and a key to any business and that's why I'm always on top of their needs."
  Being AHIP certified means she can represent Medicate plans which she describes as a federal program funded by tax dollars we pay while we work.
  People who are 65 or on disability get their medical insurance through this program which is growing in leaps and bounds with statistics showing that up until 2011 we had 1 million people per year turning 65 and starting in 2012 we had 4 million or 10,000 per day and in the next five years for the first time ever the largest part of our population will be over 65.
  Speaking from my personal experience the biggest advantage of using Medicare One is  that you get additional benefits that you do not get when you go to an insurance carrier and working with a dedicated licensed agent like Jaclyn provides someone you can talk to anytime rather than speaking to a different person every time you need help.
  Jaclyn is available to help those with Medicare, Medicare Advantage and supplemental plans at 631-223-7237.
  Get the help you deserve.
