Common questions
Is there free Medicare counseling available in Alaska?
Yes. Alaska offers free, unbiased Medicare counseling through Alaska Medicare Information Office (SHIP), reachable at 1-800-478-6065. This is a separate resource from GetFastRates.com.
How is Medicare Advantage different from Medicare Supplement?
Medicare Advantage bundles Original Medicare with a private plan's network and extra benefits. Medicare Supplement pairs with Original Medicare directly, with no network restriction, but does not include extra benefits like dental or vision unless purchased separately.
Is there a cost to speak with a licensed agent?
No. Reviewing Medicare options by phone with a licensed agent has no cost. Any plan ultimately selected carries its own separate premium, determined by the plan and carrier, not by GetFastRates.com.
Questions are easier by phone.
