Many may have read in the news that Medicare* supplemental health insurance search windows are open in Vermont.
In the news, two Medicare supplemental health insurance providers are pulling out of Vermont as of 2026, Blue Cross Blue Shield and United Healthcare. Easy to find and read information.
That is not the case finding the answer to the question of what carriers are still available for Vermonters.
Every search result I clicked on requires information such as zip code, full name, and some, birth date and phone number*. None just list the carriers available in Vermont. The Medicare website requires having an account.
Get a Quote and Talk To An Agent, mean to me, phone calls I don’t want and weeks or months of emails.
I only want the name of the carrier, read about their policy online, search reviews online, and that’s it. No calls. No emails. No texts. When I decide on a carrier, then I will apply, talk to an agent so they get the credit.
* The Medicare 2026 booklet that comes in the mail, has carrier information.
* Note, in less than a half hour, I’ve received 2 medical robo-calls. Duh on me for entering my phone number when I first began searching online.

ReplyDeleteMarie,
DeleteI remembered that a neighbor told me the information is in the Medicare 2026 booklet I received in the mail.

I'm lucky in that the University arranges our insurance for retirees -- we can opt in or do our own thing and I always opt in. I'm getting so many calls and mail for other programs. They get deleted or tossed right away.
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteRobo-calls are ongoing since I made that mistake entering my phone number. I have an info resource. Now for resding the plans.

We live in nj and my husband is a Medicare supplemental provider and he says not to sign in as it is a huge pain in the pants. You are correct. Sharon
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon
