You can explore most -- but not all
-- of your options without
creating an AlightRHS Retiree account yet (or without disturbing your current
AlightRHS Retiree account settings.)
Note: -
AlightRHS does not offer all Medicare plans potentially available in
your area. All plans are listed on the official Medicare site:
Advantage Plans: https://www.medicare.gov/plan-compare/
Medigap
and Drug Plans:
https://www.medicare.gov/medigap-supplemental-insurance-plans/
Prominent examples of plans that were not on the Alight website
for 2022:
- AARP/UHC. Not all AARP Medicare plans are on the list of plans
available from insurance sales agencies such as AlightRHS -- you
have to explicitly ask the advisor for the AARP/UHC plans. (Our
AlightRHS contact indicated that this is "UHC AARP's marketing
requirement.") Check the AARP/UHC website to see what is
available in your local area:
https://www.aarpmedicareplans.com
To buy a Medicare Supplement plan, you need to join the AARP -- well worth the $16 per year for
the publications and other benefits. Alight will ask you for
your member number, which needs to be current. You do not
need to be an AARP member to buy an AARP Advantage or Drug plan.
- Kaiser. Kaiser individual Medicare HMO plans are generally not
on the list of plans available from insurance sales agencies --
including AlightRHS.
- Regence. For 2022, AlightRHS offered the popular Regence
plans in ID -- unclear if available from AlightRHS in OR,
UT, or WA.
