If you are one of the millions of Americans who rely on Medicare for your health care needs, you may be facing some challenges and frustrations with the program. Medicare is a complex and often confusing system that can leave you feeling overwhelmed, underinsured, or overcharged.
Some of the common problems that Medicare beneficiaries face include:
Medicare loses billions of dollars every year to fraudulent claims, billing errors, and scams that target seniors. You may be paying for services or equipment that you never received, or that were not medically necessary. You may also be at risk of identity theft or financial exploitation if you share your personal or Medicare information with unscrupulous callers or websites.
Medicare offers different types of plans, such as Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and Medicare Supplement (Medigap). However, not all plans are available in every area, and not all providers accept every plan. You may have difficulty finding a plan that meets your needs, preferences, and budget. You may also have to switch plans or providers if your situation changes or if your plan changes its network, benefits, or costs.
Medicare does not cover everything. You may have to pay out-of-pocket for services or items that are not covered by your plan, such as dental care, vision care, hearing aids, long-term care, or prescription drugs. You may also face high deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments that can add up quickly.
Many people on Medicare lack internet access and digital skills, which can limit their ability to access health information, compare plans, communicate with providers, and manage their benefits online. This can lead to worse health outcomes, higher costs, and lower satisfaction.
We help you compare different Medicare plans based on your needs, preferences, and budget. We show you the pros and cons of each option, and help you find the best value for your money.
We help you use your plan benefits to get the care and services you need. We help you find providers that accept your plan, schedule appointments, fill prescriptions, file claims, and more.
We help you enroll in the plan of your choice online, over the phone, or in-person. We handle all the paperwork and details for you, and make sure you don’t miss any deadlines or requirements.
We help you resolve any issues or problems that may arise with your plan or provider. We help you appeal denials, report fraud, request refunds, change plans, and more.
No two plans are alike. Consequently, enrolling into one plan could be the difference of hundreds of dollars spent more each month than by enrolling into another. Our Signature Process to EDUCATE, EVALUATE, and ENROLL ensures that our plan recommendation is truly fitted to you and your personal situation. Don't just get what all your friends have! Take advantage of our expertise to get the right plan for you!
We’re not going to sugarcoat it, Medicare is complex. If you choose the wrong plans, supplemental insurance, or prescription coverages, then your budget or lifestyle will be affected. If you don’t enroll at the appropriate times and in the appropriate plans, your coverage may not even exist at the right time when you need it. Download this guide if you want to learn the basics of navigating the Medicare maze. Please remember, the CRM Group is here to help you choose the right coverages for your budget and lifestyle.

"When I began researching my options for Medicare in 2023 I realized a lot of the agents one speaks to are out of State. Many of the agents didn’t seem to care about me. Here’s the price, take it or leave it. I decided I wanted to find an Agent who served the Treasure Valley. I contacted Chad MacDonald, at CRM Group. He was very friendly and answered all my preliminary questions. Made an appointment and met him at his office. He throughly covered my questions and went over the legal disclosures. On renewal this year I needed to make a change in my coverage. Contact my local agent Chad Macdonald and he went over the options with me. The new policy is now in place. I highly recommend Chad Macdonald at CRM Group."
"I went to Chad for help for my mother who’s on Medicare. Chad was extremely easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. I have acute anxiety….especially when around new people, as soon as I entered I was immediately greeted and treated with kindness till I left. I 100% recommended this office.."
"I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Mason. As a company in the health insurance industry, you’d expect them to treat all customers with dignity and fairness. However, their blatant lack of respect and discriminatory practices left me feeling unwelcome and undervalued. From the unprofessional interactions I had with their representatives to their dismissive attitudes toward people from diverse backgrounds, it’s clear this company lacks proper training in cultural sensitivity and customer care. Health insurance is about providing security and support to everyone, but they seem to operate with bias that has no place in such a critical industry. COMPASSION is what they claim to have. If you’re looking for an inclusive, reliable provider, I’d strongly recommend you take your business elsewhere. Companies like this don’t deserve the trust—or money—of hardworking individuals who expect to be treated equally."
"Chad is the best Medicare advisor ever. He knows how to find the best plan for your needs. He works tirelessly to help his clients. We have recommended him to so many people and they think the same thing"
