Coronavirus: Advice for Medicare recipients, agents from Advocate Health Advisors CEO Darwin Hale

04:41 Nov 25, 2020
Advocate Health Advisors CEO Darwin Hale discusses how the company is managing during the coronavirus pandemic. Hale offers tips for insurance agents and senior citizens in a discussion with Karen McAllister, Advocate Health Advisors public relations specialist:  HALE: "It is a challenging time, but I have a personal and professional strategy that says whenever you get in a difficult situation, you try to make the best of it. At work, the team has been incredible. They have all been able to move into a work-from-home environment.  They are still able to talk and communicate with agents."  McALLISTER: Do you have any tips for agents? HALE: I want to encourage everyone to call your clients to discuss telemedicine and mail-order pharmacy. More importantly is reaching out to talk to every single client and just let them know you're there for them on a personal level.   McALLISTER:  What can we do for our older family members and neighbors?  HALE: Our clients really need to be protecting themselves right now. The clients in the home are a very vulnerable population. Not only do they need to follow the guidance of the CDC about sheltering, they really want to be thinking about other novel things. There are some Silver Sneaker benefits for activity.  Telemedicine isn't just recommended for coronavirus symptoms. That can be used for other scheduled appointments and save you from going out of the house. It would be terrible to go to the doctor to try to be well and go to the pharmacy to try to get your medicine, and actually cause yourself more harm than good.  **** Advocate Health Advisors is committed to helping seniors make informed decisions as they turn 65 and become eligible for Medicare benefits.
