Medicare Insurance in the Metro East (Illinois)

Retirement Resources Inc. is a local, independent, licensed insurance agency that helps people across the Illinois side of the St. Louis metro -- the Metro East -- compare Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement (Medigap), and Part D drug plans, at no cost to you. We are licensed in Illinois and Missouri, so if you live in the Metro East, you get the same local, hands-on help our Missouri clients get. Call or text the Retirement Resources team at (314) 248-6500.

Local Medicare help across the Metro East

The Metro East has its own communities, its own doctors and hospital systems, and its own Medicare plan options -- which are not the same as the ones across the river. Because we are licensed in Illinois, we can compare the plans that actually apply where you live. We meet you the way you prefer -- by phone, by video, or in person, and we will cross the river for in-home visits in the Metro East or meet somewhere convenient like a local Panera. We regularly help people across:

• Belleville and Swansea
• O'Fallon, Illinois and Shiloh
• Edwardsville and Glen Carbon
• Fairview Heights and Collinsville
• Maryville, Troy, and Highland

Why a local, independent agent (not a 1-800 number)

When you call a national 1-800 line, you get whoever picks up and the plans that company is paid to sell. When you work with us, you get a local team that has helped thousands of families with Medicare since 2013. We are independent, so the job is to find the plan that fits you -- not push one brand -- and because we are licensed on both sides of the river, we do not have to hand you off if you live in Illinois.

Plans and rules can differ in Illinois

Medicare plan availability is based on where you live, so the Medicare Advantage and Part D options in the Metro East are not identical to the Missouri side. Illinois also has its own rules around Medicare Supplement plans. We know both states, and we will make sure we are comparing the plans that actually apply to your address -- not a generic list.

What we help Metro East residents with

• New to Medicare / turning 65 -- what to do, when to do it, and how to avoid late-enrollment penalties.
• Medicare Advantage vs. Medicare Supplement (Medigap) -- the real trade-offs, in plain English.
• Part D prescription coverage -- matching your medications to a plan that covers them.
• A second look at your current plan -- making sure what you have still fits before the next enrollment period.

How we help -- and what it costs you

Nothing. Our help is free to you; agents are paid by the insurance carriers, and that does not change your premium. You get a local team that has helped thousands of families with Medicare since 2013, and your options are reviewed by our licensed Medicare specialists, including Katie, licensed in Missouri, Illinois, and Florida. There is no cost to you, and no obligation.

Frequently asked questions

Are you licensed in Illinois?

Yes. We are licensed in both Illinois and Missouri and help clients throughout the Metro East and the wider St. Louis metro on both sides of the river.

Are the plans different on the Illinois side?

They can be. Medicare Advantage and Part D options are based on where you live, so the Metro East has its own set of plans. We compare the ones that apply to your specific address.

I am turning 65 in the Metro East -- when do I sign up?

Your Initial Enrollment Period is a 7-month window: the 3 months before your 65th-birthday month, your birthday month, and the 3 months after. We will help you pin down your exact dates.

Does it cost anything to get help from your team?

No. Our help is free to you, and you pay the same premium whether you enroll through us or on your own.
