Under 65 and Not Yet Medicare-Eligible?

Your options through the Federally Facilitated Marketplace (through the Affordable Care Act) and your enrollment process are a little different.

Review Your Prescriptions

This is the one time of the year to review your Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (Part D) and your Medicare Health Insurance coverage (Part C) for the 2026 plan year. To ensure you are on the plan that best fits your needs, please submit a current prescription drug list for review.

In most cases we can assist and get your updated lists over the phone.

We want to make sure your prescription list is received and reviewed in time. You are welcome to mail your list to our office; however, due to potential mail delays and strict AEP deadlines, we strongly encourage all clients to submit their lists digitally whenever possible.

Attend a Member Meeting

Important: Member Meetings Are Only for Current Plan Members

To best serve you during the Annual Election Period (AEP), Insurance Associates hosts member meetings on behalf of two major regional companies in Northwestern WI: Security Health Plan and Medica.

You may attend only the meeting for the company you are currently enrolled with. Medicare regulations require that these meetings are limited to current members of each company. If you are not enrolled with that company, we cannot allow you to attend.

At your company’s member meeting (in-person or online), you will:

Learn about the upcoming changes for the 2026 plan year.
Review the great benefits your plan already provides.
Hear answers to questions from other members that you may not have thought to ask.
