Edgewood and the East Mountains have a Medicare situation of their own. The communities along I-40 east of the Sandias, from Tijeras and Cedar Crest through Edgewood to Moriarty, have local primary care but rely on Albuquerque for hospitals and most specialists, and the drive over the pass in winter is not something anyone wants to make twice because a plan sent them to the wrong facility. Medigap Options has worked with East Mountain families since 1985, and Doug Dent checks every plan against the doctors you see in the mountains and the ones you drive down to see in the city. He'll meet you at your home in Edgewood, at his Albuquerque office, or by phone and video.
For Edgewood clients we compare Medicare Supplement plans across every carrier we represent, which is often the right answer in the East Mountains because Medigap works with any provider that takes Medicare, whichever side of the pass they're on. We review Medicare Advantage plans from Presbyterian, Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico and UnitedHealthcare and check each network against your local clinic and the Albuquerque hospitals and specialists you use. We run your prescriptions through every New Mexico Part D plan to find the lowest yearly cost. Dental, vision and hearing plans, final expense life insurance and long-term care coverage round it out, along with a free annual plan review each fall. If you're new to Medicare, one free consultation sorts out your dates and options.
Edgewood residents choose Medigap Options because Doug is an independent broker, licensed since 1985, who works with multiple carriers instead of one and is honest about which plans fit rural and mountain communities and which ones only look good in a mailer. He explains coverage in terms of what it costs when you're sick, not just the monthly premium, and he's the same person you'll reach next year. There's no fee to work with him. Call (505) 578-5852 to get started.
