Quick question. Sorry if this has been answered before. I couldn't find an answer with a quick search.
An agent called me and spent quite a bit of time explaining Medigap and Medicare Advantage. Straight answers, to the point, little time wasted, etc. Explained his role as an agent, etc.
Question: Any advantages or disadvantages with using an agent (he was straight and said he gets a commission if I go through him) vs going direct to the provider? Anything lost or gained or is it the same or near same pricing, etc.?
FYI, I'm leaning towards AARP/UHI because I'm familiar with UHI in the past with myself and my parents' plan and the fitness memberships provided are optimal in my location. Haven't explored in detail the other plans in my area yet.
