Preparing for Medicare open enrollment

Before comparing plans, bring the care information together.

You have the plan pages open, but the comparison starts with questions the tabs cannot answer: which doctors matter to you, which pharmacy you use and which medicine details need checking before you enter them.

You do not have to start by choosing a plan. Getting the information ready can make the conversation with official Medicare resources or a qualified counselor more focused, while leaving the choice with you.

Where Dekona can help

Prepare the list before you start comparing coverage.

01

Prepare the information first

Start with the doctors, pharmacies and medicine information you know. Confirm important details before using the list.

02

Understand what claims can show

The current offer supports authorized Original Medicare claims, not Medicare Advantage claims. Claims are evidence of bills and fills; they do not verify a current medicine regimen or coverage under a new plan.

03

Keep the decision with the person

Dekona does not recommend insurance plans or act as a broker. Take confirmed information to the relevant official plan resources or qualified counselor.

Sample preparation note

Confirm which doctors and pharmacy I want to ask about.

Medicine-list preparation note

Check that the medicine names and doses reflect the current instructions.

  • Lee’s doctors and pharmacy to ask about
  • Medicine details still needing confirmation
  • Coverage questions to take to official plan resources

What becomes clearer

A preparation list supports questions. It does not determine eligibility, network participation, costs or the right insurance plan.

Lee can use confirmed information in the official plan tools or a conversation with a qualified counselor. Dekona does not determine networks, eligibility, coverage, costs or which plan to choose.

An explanatory example, not a generated record or treatment instruction.

Before you begin

A few good questions.

Will Dekona recommend a Medicare plan?

No. It organizes information. It does not recommend coverage, act as an insurance broker or determine benefits eligibility.

Does Original Medicare information cover Medicare Advantage too?

No. The current claims-connection offer is for Original Medicare, not Medicare Advantage. Source availability and authorization still apply.

Who can see care information?

A referral or family relationship does not grant record access. Record connections and invitations require appropriate authority and scoped permission. Dekona does not contact doctors or pharmacies for you and does not replace your clinicians.
