Belleville, IL (PRWEB) October 14, 2015 -- Medicare beneficiaries and individuals with disabilities seeking information on the Health Insurance Marketplace can access information, resources and experts online at True Help® with Health Insurance When Disability Strikes. The site is provided by Allsup, a nationwide Social Security Disability Insurance representation company and Medicare plan selection services provider.

Web event offers timely resources and access to experts
Participants can control which slides and videos to view, participate in instant polls and submit questions through the Q and A window. Medicare and healthcare experts will email personal responses to participants.
“Choosing an insurance plan can be overwhelming or even a little frightening, and you can certainly benefit from the right resources at the right times, such as during open enrollment,” said Aaron Tidball, manager, Allsup Medicare Operations.
Open enrollment offers individuals the opportunity to enroll for the first time or review their health insurance coverage and make changes based on their health and financial needs.
An Enroll America survey showed almost 90 percent of Marketplace enrollees wanted more information about how to use their coverage. About half of the uninsured respondents expressed a lack of confidence in choosing their coverage.
“When it comes to Medicare, one study showed that nearly one-fourth of beneficiaries were surprised when their plan didn’t cover the medical care they needed,” said Tidball. “Another study showed that 95 percent of Medicare beneficiaries spent too much on their prescriptions.” See the Medicare infographic here.
