The Missouri Department of Insurance has issued a warning for people who are planning on Medicare enrollment during the current open enrollment period. There are people who are presenting themselves to Medicare applicants as "Medicare-endorsed agents" when in fact, they are there to try to sell you life insurance, annuities, or other coverages.

The Missouri Department of Insurance offers a free program called CLAIM. This free service provides one-on-one counseling for Missourians with Medicare questions. For information on the CLAIM program, visit the MO DOI CLAIM wesbite at missouriclaim.org or call 800-390-3330.
