I just checked and the MSC that does these for a decent price, has none listed yet. I did all my testing and ready to go. I just need to wait until they list some.
I don't like the informal events. The one and only informal event that I did do.... was a bust! The lady did not want to help me and had someone sitting there. She just threw a pamphlet my way and I could not get her to discuss the Medicare Advantage Plans. So, just Formal events for me!@KathyG wrote:
I'm checking that company's website on a regular basis, but all they have are informal events, and all of the locations are completely across town from my house.

OK, I have a question. One MSC, that pays like clockwork every 2 weeks, has a BUNCH of these Medicare shops at the BIG BOX store (whose HDQTRS are in Arkansas). In past years, I seem to remember that we had a range of hours that we could do this shop in. THIS YEAR, each and every store has a "start time" of 10 am!! I wrote the MSC and asked WHY it was this way, and the response I got said that it was because the Agents have listed this as the start of their "event". So I wrote back and asked to please double check on this, explaining that the Agents at these stores DO NOT have an "Event" per say, (as do the hotels and restaurants), but just SIT at their tables ALL DAY LONG unless and until someone comes up to them and starts talking with them about this. So I'm waiting on another reply about this. I don't shop till afternoon hours, and this just put a crimp on my being able to pick up any shops. Any of you find this odd this year??? Or is it just me??? Thanks.
In a formal environment where there are 30+ attendees I feel more comfortable and stay in the background, so to speak. My biggest worry is that the agent turns to me and asks a direct question. I try to act natural and I find these shops relaxing and informative. I do like the extra perks, like one buffet place, they let us get dessert off the bar. The most important thing is to listen to the speaker because you have to report back what he did and did not say (vitals) in narrative form.@pegleg2000 wrote:
Are these easy to do?
They are for me, because I'm in the age demographic. So any info is helpful to me, and I tend to remember it come report time, notes or no notes.@pegleg2000 wrote:
