People join MA plans for a variety or reasons, but the primary two reasons are cost savings and protection. The head of Medicare, Mark McClellan, recently stated that people save an average of $86 a month (about $1,000 a year) by enrolling in a Part C plan. In addition, MA plans protect people against uncapped medical costs. A third reason people join MA plans is because they often include extra services, like an annual physical or vision checks, which aren't included in Original Medicare. Finally, MAs are generally considered easy to use, with very little paperwork.

Many people like help deciding which plan is a good choice for them. Plans vary widely from company to company and from place to place, and when comparing plans between companies it’s important to compare the fine print—not just the premiums. That’s what Aon Hewitt Navigators Insurance Services Inc. (formerly known as Senior Educators Insurance Services) was created for—to provide free, professional assistance to Medicare recipients to help them choose appropriate coverage.
