There are over 26 Medicare Advantage Plans available in Mississippi, and as you can imagine sorting through all of them can be confusing and time-consuming.
We aim to be a trusted healthcare information source for aging adults and their loved ones because we believe everyone deserves high-quality, affordable healthcare coverage. We create informational resources (Note: We do not sell or provide health insurance) that are specifically designed to help people navigate the complex maze that is Medicare and understand how to enroll as well as the differences among the myriad of plans.
The newly updated resource on Medicare Advantage Plans in Mississippi helps guide seniors through all of the available Medicare plans, eligibility requirements, enrollment guidelines, and their many benefits. Most importantly, we provide a list of helpful community organizations throughout Mississippi that further support seniors with their healthcare needs.
