Medicare Part D Changes You Can’t Ignore: Check Your Meds First | EP 25
Annual Medicare Enrollment is kicking off, and the biggest question is whether your prescriptions will be covered.

They also cover why pharmacy choice matters, what to look for in your ANOC (Annual Notice of Change) letter, and how to get a free, no-obligation Medicare plan review.

Your AEP Checklist: 4 Important Items to Check | The Brad & Mike Show | EP 24
AEP runs October 15 – December 7, and the plan you choose sticks with you all year. Brad and Mike break down the four important items to review before you decide: your medications (formularies and drug tiers change every year), your providers (doctors can leave networks, so call their offices to confirm), your documents (bring your ANOC letter and current cards), and your budget (a $0 premium plan isn't always the cheapest option).
They also share tips for snowbirds splitting time between Michigan and Florida, and explain why Medicare Supplement holders face fewer network worries.

Medicare Scams Explained: Fake Calls, Spoofing & Plan Changes | The Brad & Mike Show | EP 23
If someone calls asking you to verify your Medicare number, it's a scam. Brad and Mike break down the Medicare scams showing up as Annual Enrollment season gets going, and what to do if you've already been targeted.
In this episode, they cover the difference between fraud and scams, why caller ID spoofing makes fake calls look real, and why Medicare Advantage agents can't cold call you. They also explain how to verify a real agent, how to read your Explanation of Benefits for double billing, and how to spot free medical equipment offers and call center enrollments that can switch your plan without you knowing.
If you think you've given out your information, they walk through who to call: Medicare, the Office of Inspector General, your carrier, the credit bureaus, and the National Do Not Call Registry.

Medicare: 1-800-633-4227
Office of Inspector General: 1-800-447-8477
National Do Not Call Registry: 1-888-382-1222
