What a refreshing experience I had at Bailey Insurance Services working with Danielle Waller. She took the worry and guesswork out of choosing Medicare Supplements. Danielle offered her extremely knowledgeable expertise, which in itself was a relief as I had no idea the options or questions that I should be asking. I was a complete stranger, yet she took the time to understand my lifestyle and medical needs, and helped me choose the best plans possible at the best price point possible. I highly recommend anyone coming onto Medicare to do yourself a favor and set up time with her. She so impressed me that I will look for other insurance coverage items in my life to see if Bailey Insurance can provide a better service going forward.

Karen Jacobson Customer

I was referred to Danielle Waller through friends. They highly recommended her as she is very well-versed in Medicare plans and the different options available. Danielle explained the options to me in a clear manner and made my decisions quite easy. The actual process was done very efficiently. I highly recommend Danielle!

Don Slabaugh Customer

We have used Bailey Insurance for over 10 years for Medicare Advantage plans. Danielle has been the one we work with. She is tops!!! Not only is she very knowledgeable in all plans, but she takes time to explain and help us select a plan most beneficial to our needs. We are not “just another client” but we are treated with the best of attention and care according to our needs.

My husband and I had the best experience with Kevin! Not only was he helpful, but he is so knowledgeable and treats you like there is no such thing as a dumb question. Health insurance is a stressful business these days- but Kevin made the process so much better. Amazing customer service and even follow up! Thank you Kevin - highly recommend !!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Kevin Balliger recently. I needed to find the best Medicare Supplement insurance for me. Kevin was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. He answered all of my questions and guided me through the maze of Medicare options without being pushy. I am sure that Kevin is a major asset to Bailey Insurance.

We worked with Danielle and weren’t given really any good options for health insurance. We then added life insurance for my husband which we didn’t hear anything back from for months. We finally just canceled it. Almost every time we call and leave her a message she never calls back. Will be going somewhere else for this open enrollment.

Wow! Kevin is great to work with. He listens, clarifies and then runs with it. He has met with us twice and got our Health Insurance set up and then adjusted. I can’t imagine how long it would have taken me without his help. Forever grateful!

Frequently asked questions

What is Medicare's Annual Election Period?

Medicares "AEP" is your opportunity to choose your insurance for the coming year. They change every year, even the plan you have currently will change. So it's important to choose the best one for the coming year so you know your medications and emerging needs are covered.

We are the experts in Medicare Advantage and medigap plans. Call, or ask one of our thousands of clients.

Nope! Our advisement comes at no-cost to you.

We help clients purchase Humana, Blue Cross Blue Shield and United Healthcare.

AEP is also a time to change your prescription drug plan of which there are 29 different options. 

Yes! Seminars are great because they allow us to help more people during such a short enrollment season. If you still have questions or feel you need one-on-one support we’re happy to schedule a meeting at our office. 

AEP runs from October 15th to December 7th every year, and it allows Medicare beneficiaries to make changes to their plan, switch plans, or disenroll from a plan.

Beneficiaries enrolled in a Medicare health plan or prescription drug plan should always review the materials their plan sends them, like the “Evidence of Coverage” (EOC) and “Annual Notice of Change” (ANOC). If your plans are changing, meet with an agent to make sure your plans will still meet your needs for the following year. 

Reach out to us! Information for next year’s plans will be available beginning October 1st.

Reach out to us! In general, information for next year’s plans will be available beginning in October.
