IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
After November 8, 2025, Ken Locke and Associates, LLC will no longer market, sell or assist in new stand-alone Part D plan enrollments or inquiries. This is due to recent changes to insurance company contracts and distribution as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act. We will continue to work with existing clients on managing their Part D benefits for 2026. For assistance with your Part D plan, call 1-800-MEDICARE or go to Medicare.gov to self-administer your individual Part D enrollment after November 8, 2025.
​
This DOES NOT affect Medicare Supplement or Medicare Advantage Plans. We will continue to offer new enrollments and process renewals for Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans.

Medicare Supplement
-
Medicare Supplement plans, also known as Medigap plans, are sold by private insurance companies to help cover out-of-pocket costs associated with Original Medicare (Parts A and B).
-
These plans help pay for costs like coinsurance, copays, and some deductibles.
-
Additional riders can help cover emergency medical coverage when leaving the U.S., Part B Excess Fees and Additional Home Health Care.
-
While Medigap plans don't include prescription drug coverage, you can purchase a separate Part D plan for your medications

Medicare Advantage
-
Medicare Advantage plans, also known as Part C, are offered by private companies approved by Medicare. They provide an alternative to Original Medicare (Parts A and B) and many plans include prescription drug coverage (Part D).
-
These plans bundle together hospital, medical, and often prescription drug coverage, potentially offering extra benefits not found in Original Medicare such as Dental and Routine Vision.

Hospital Indemnity Plans
-
Hospital Indemnity insurance pays a cash benefit for each day you’re confined to the hospital.
-
Some plans may add more protection for certain medical services at an affordable cost. With optional riders available, you can create a customized plan to ensure you have the best protection for your specific situation.
-
Examples of additional riders include:​
-
Ambulance​
-
Skilled Nursing Facility
