One of the most common questions people ask is, “Do Medicare brokers charge a fee?”
The answer is simple:
No. In most cases, Medicare brokers do not charge a fee to help you enroll in Medicare coverage.
Whether you’re enrolling in a Medicare Supplement plan, a Medicare Advantage plan, or a Part D prescription drug plan, the premium you pay is generally the same whether you enroll directly with the insurance company or work with a broker.
That means you can receive professional guidance and personalized service without paying extra for it.
How Do Medicare Brokers Get Paid?
Insurance companies pay licensed Medicare brokers a commission when a policy is issued.
That commission is built into the cost of the plan and is approved by the insurance company. It does not increase your premium.
In other words, you don’t save money by bypassing a broker and enrolling directly with the carrier.
What Does a Medicare Broker Do?
A Medicare broker can help you:
- Compare Medicare Supplement plans from multiple companies
- Explain the differences between Plan G and Plan N
- Review prescription drug coverage options
- Help you understand enrollment deadlines
- Answer Medicare questions in plain English
- Assist with underwriting questions
- Continue to provide service after enrollment
Many people find that having an experienced broker simplifies the Medicare process.
Are There Any Exceptions?
While uncommon, some advisors may charge a separate consulting fee for specialized services that go beyond helping you enroll in a Medicare plan.
If a fee is charged, it should always be disclosed upfront.
For the vast majority of Medicare beneficiaries:
Working with a Medicare broker costs nothing extra.
