What to Expect During Annual Election

Let us sit on hold with your insurance company if you need help with an issue so you do not have to.

Prescription Drug Reviews for 2027

Prescription drug coverage and costs can change each year. As part of our Medicare review process, we review prescription coverage to help determine whether your current Medicare health plan continues to meet your needs for 2027.

Current Insurance Associates Clients

Please submit a current list of your prescription medications to our office by October 1st. Check your email for the digital Prescription Drug Request Form sent on September 15th. If you did not receive the email, contact our office and we will send you a new link.

Receiving your medication list by October 1st gives our team time to review your prescriptions, plan options, and estimated costs before the Annual Election Period begins.

There is no need to schedule an appointment after submitting your medication list. Our team will complete your review first and then contact you to discuss our findings. Most prescription reviews can be completed during that phone call. If a plan change or more detailed discussion is needed, we will work with you to schedule an appointment.

Email (Preferred):
To request a secure digital form, email our office at iasupport@insassoc.net and we’ll send one to you. This helps us process your information more quickly, accurately and ensures nothing is delayed.
Drop Box at the Office:
Our Eau Claire and Rice Lake offices have locked Drop Box’s on site.
Call our Office:
In most cases we can assist and get your updated lists over the phone.

Interested in Becoming a Client?

If you are looking for assistance with your Medicare coverage for 2027, please contact our office to learn more about working with Insurance Associates. If we are able to assist you with your Medicare health plan, our team will send you a link to complete our digital Prescription Drug Request Form as part of the review process.

Prescription drug reviews are a service we provide in connection with the Medicare health plans we service and are not offered as a stand-alone prescription review service.

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 2027 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.
