MKE Benefits’ Post

Lot's of great ACA open enrollment updates in this article including premium trends for 2025, new limitations on short term medical plans, the value of shopping around, and why the sign-up process may take longer this year. Also, it highlights something that has become a major problem over the last year, advertising scams. Much of what pops up when you search "Obamacare" or "cheap health insurance" are sites that try to look official but are not and the fine print on some websites you click into give them consent to contact you when that may not be what you intended. #ACA #Marketplace #OpenEnrollment

Customer satisfaction is a top priority for us and we love hearing feedback from our clients and partners. Here are some recent kudos for Chris McArdle, that made us proud to do what we do in the health insurance arena.  #healthinsurance #healthinsurancebroker #wisconsin

Did you know that nearly 1/3 of recipients ignore their Medicare Annual Notice of Change(ANOC) letters each September? This important notice outlines how your coverage and costs will change for the upcoming year, including premiums, deductibles, and co-pays for Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage plans. With potential significant changes on the horizon for 2025, it’s crucial to take a few moments to read through your ANOC when it arrives. Understanding these changes can help you make informed decisions about your healthcare options and ensure you’re getting the best coverage for your needs. Don’t overlook this essential information! #Medicare #ANOC #MedicareAdvantage

One of the biggest Medicare changes taking effect in 2025 is that Part D (PDP) plans must cap out-of-pocket spending on covered drugs at $2,000 a year. This change will have a ripple effect on Part D and Medicare Advantage (MAPD) plans' other costs and coverage. The other 6 changes noted in this article may be impactful to some individuals but are definitely overshadowed by the Part D changes. #Medicare #PartD

This past Thursday MKE Benefits held our Summer Social at Bars & Recreation's NorthSouth Club with several fun rounds of not-quite-pro level shuffleboard. It was a great time to relax and enjoy some social time along with a few excellent drinks plus delicious food catered in by Blue Bat Kitchen & Tequilaria. We took a trip next door to Radio Milwaukee/Discourse Coffee to get a picture of the community room named in honor of MKE Benefits co-founder Andrew Wadsworth!

MKE Benefits had the pleasure of attending the World's Largest Coffee Break at Catalano Square in the Historic Third Ward. It was an incredible event filled with great company, inspiring conversations, and of course, a fantastic variety of coffee and treats. Thank you to organizers and everyone who came out to make this gathering so memorable. Events like these are a wonderful reminder of the power of community and the joy of sharing a coffee break with others. Special thanks to Milwaukee Downtown, BID #21#21 and Historic Third Ward Association for making this event such a success. If you missed it, keep an eye out for future events during Downtown Employee Appreciation Week– you won't want to miss out!

Thank you UPAF for inviting us to see how beautiful Davidison Park turned out to be. What a great way to transform a space and engage a neighborhood.
