               Dear Mrs. Huybrechts:

               Your Medicare evaluation is attached. You might begin by checking the information on the
               client data sheet on page 5 to make sure it is correct. If anything there needs to be changed, let
               me know. Also, you should verify that I the prescription drugs and dosages shown on the
               attachment to this letter are correct.  So that your supplemental coverage will be in place by
               October 1, it would be good to make your choice of plans and to enroll within the next week or
               so.

               In most cases the costs shown in the evaluation are estimates for the entire 2017 plan year,
               even though you will be enrolled for only 3 months.  Your evaluation compares four options --
               three Medigap plans and one Medicare Advantage plan. After you have decided which plan(s)
               you want, you can enroll by telephone. The evaluation includes the toll-free numbers of the
               Advantage plan, Part D stand-alone drug plan, and the insurance companies that sell Medigap
               policies in Los Angeles County.

               The three Medigap plans in your evaluation

               The Medigap plans that are compared are Plan F, Plan N, and Plan L. As you may know,
               Medigap policies can be purchased during the first six months you have Part A and Part B
               without your having to answer questions about your health. After that six-month period has
               passed, however, you will likely have to answer questions about your health before you can get
               a premium quote.

               Perhaps the best feature of Medigap policies is the flexibility they offer.  There are no networks,
               and you do not need referrals to see specialists -- you will be covered when you see any
               provider who accepts Medicare. That means you can go to virtually any doctor, hospital or clinic
               in the U. S. and be covered. Medigap policies are nationally standardized, so that the coverage
               for a given plan like Plan F is identical regardless of the state where it’s issued or the insurance
               company you buy it from.

               One thing to be aware of in choosing a Medigap plan is that if you see a doctor who does not
               accept Medicare assignment, he or she may charge up to 15% more than the Medicare-
