You have to know who to talk to
Sometimes getting it done efficiently is knowing where to go to get needed information bypassing all the hoops.
For permitting I have a person I call.
For old time maps and plats of local mines, railroads, I have a person.
For title questions I have a person.
And for water I must have close to half a dozen.
For engineering I have a guy.
For the computers I have a guy (that one I pay).
For all this I trade back and forth info and such and do some favors.
But I found myself completely out of my zone now that I need Medicare. I talked to some that have recently gotten it and kept getting the same advice, go to this seminar, be proactive, research what you need to do, do it early.
Advice doesn’t do any good if you only listen to it but don’t do it, I didn’t do any of it.
I found myself on vacation well passed the timeline I was not supposed to go beyond. So relaxing on vacation I started to research on my phone and started calling. Probably spent an hour or so on hold but what the heck, put it on speaker. After a few frustrating encounters I lucked out. I got a local agent and she explained exactly how to do it, said if I could stop by she would walk me through it, of course I couldn’t stop by until I got back, then the virus shut down her office. Still, yesterday after I got my number (that took a few weeks but is the first step) she worked me through it and within five minutes it was done. Now I’m signed up.
All on the phone.
Another so proud day!!! I have my Medicare number, my supplemental insurance and I’m ready to face the big wide world again.
It was easy, but only cause someone explained it to me. On my own I was very confused. This time I was lucky stumbling on the right person and getting a direct phone #.
