Turning 65 and feeling overwhelmed by Medicare?


You're not alone.


Every day, people in Blaine, Minnesota receive stacks of Medicare mail, see television commercials promising extra benefits, and hear conflicting advice from friends and family.


The problem is that Medicare decisions are often more complicated than they appear.


At VitalShield Insurance, we help people in Blaine, Ham Lake, Coon Rapids, Spring Lake Park, Lino Lakes, and throughout Anoka County understand their Medicare options and avoid costly mistakes.


Why Work With a Local Medicare Agent in Blaine?


Medicare is not one-size-fits-all.


The plan that works for your neighbor may not be the right plan for you.
As an independent Medicare broker, we help you compare plans based on:


  • Your doctors
  • Your prescriptions
  • Your travel habits
  • Your budget
  • Your retirement plans
  • Your preferred hospitals and clinics


Because we represent multiple insurance companies, our goal is to help you find the plan that fits your situation.


Minnesota Medicare Is Different


Many national websites talk about Medicare as if every state works the same way.
Minnesota is unique.


Minnesota residents may have access to:


  • Medicare Supplement Basic Plans
  • Medicare Supplement Extended Basic Plans
  • Medicare Advantage Plans
  • Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plans
  • Special Election Period opportunities
  • Guaranteed Issue rights in certain situations


Understanding these differences can save thousands of dollars over retirement.


Turning 65 in Blaine? Here's What You Need To Know


Your Initial Enrollment Period begins three months before the month you turn 65.


During this time, you may need to:


  • Enroll in Medicare Part A
  • Enroll in Medicare Part B
  • Review Medicare Supplement options
  • Compare Medicare Advantage plans
  • Evaluate prescription drug coverage


Missing deadlines can result in penalties or coverage gaps.


Moving to Florida or Becoming a Snowbird?
