Mistakes we see most often

All three are avoidable with a review before you commit.
Questions to ask any advisor
Before working with anyone on top Medicare advantage plans, ask three things. First: are you licensed in Colorado, and can I verify it? (Our CO license numbers are listed on this site.) Second: how are you paid, and does any recommendation change that? Third: what happens if my situation changes — health, market, family? A trustworthy advisor answers all three without hesitation. If you get vagueness instead, keep looking.
