Turning 65, or rethinking the plan you already have? The ads and mailers are built to confuse. We’re local Chaska brokers who lay Medicare Advantage, Medigap, and Part D side by side — for your doctors, your prescriptions, and your budget — and we represent multiple carriers, so we’re not pushing any one. Free to you, no pressure.
There’s a small window to make a big decision, a stack of mail telling you different things, and a real fear of getting it wrong. We slow it down, explain the pieces in plain English, and — because we’re independent — tell you the honest trade-offs instead of a sales pitch.
You bring your doctors and prescriptions; we bring the plans and the math.
Most Medicare decisions come down to how you want to add to Original Medicare. Here’s the short version of each — and we’ll help you pick the combination that fits.
All-in-one private plans (Part C) that bundle Parts A, B, and usually drugs and extras — with a network and a yearly out-of-pocket cap.
Sits alongside Original Medicare and pays the gaps, so you can use any provider nationwide. In Minnesota it’s Basic / Extended Basic, not lettered plans.
Standalone prescription coverage to pair with Original Medicare or a Medigap plan. In 2026, Part D caps your drug costs at $2,100 a year.
Inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing, and hospice. Most people pay no premium for it.
Doctor visits, outpatient care, and preventive services. The standard premium is $202.90/month in 2026.
A private, bundled alternative to Parts A and B, usually adding drug coverage and extras like dental and vision.
Prescription drug coverage, either standalone or built into an Advantage plan. Out-of-pocket drug costs are capped at $2,100 in 2026.
If you’ve read national articles about “Plan G” or “Plan N,” set them aside. Minnesota is one of three states that standardize Medigap their own way — here it’s a Basic Plan (with optional riders), a comprehensive Extended Basic Plan, plus high-deductible and cost-sharing options. Minnesota also uses community rating, so age generally doesn’t change your Medigap premium. It’s a real advantage if you know how to use it — and a trap if you assume the national rules apply.
