2 The Medicare Caddy Philosophy The Medicare program is confusing, complex and constantly changing. We understand that Medicare plays a significant part in the lives of many Americans - who are also living longer. We call this longevity - and with longevity comes many rewards and challenges. The Medicare Caddy team believes that Medicare should not be sold to you as an insurance product - it should be provided to you as ongoing advisory services that significantly benefit both you AND your family. You need a trusted advisor who will proactively help you make wise healthcare choices related to Medicare and the longevity aging process. Medicare Caddy wants to be your trusted advisor. Benefits to You for Using Medicare Caddy Proactively Manage Your Healthcare Related Needs as You Age Immediate Access to Experienced Professionals Customized Services Based on Your Existing and Future Needs Saves You Hours of Time Trying to Understand Options Maximize Your Spending - Make Informed Financial Decisions Enjoy Peace of Mind as an Empowered Healthcare Consumer

3 WHY WE DO IT Enrolling in Medicare is a major healthcare and financial pivot point in our Members lives. This is the perfect time to establish a trusted advisor relationship with a team of experienced professionals that will provide you valuable insight and experience into the aging process. Medicare Caddy s goal is to make you an Empowered Healthcare Consumer. Much like a seasoned golfer s caddy, Medicare Caddy s job is to provide you with our knowledge, experience and relationships that will help you live longer - better! The Medicare Caddy Approach THE MEDICARE CADDY DIFFERENCE Becoming a Medicare Caddy Member provides you access to a wide range of longevity solutions that start with Medicare eligibility. With Americans living decades longer than past generations, there are many aging needs that can be planned for in advance. Medicare Caddy will help you proactively manage these needs and maximize the benefits gained with your annual out-of-pocket healthcare expenditures.

6 Testimonials Scott P Aiken, SC I would highly recommend Medicare Caddy if you are reviewing your Medicare options. Prior to turning 65, I received multiple letters from the Social Security Administration outlining that I was being charged an Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA) surcharge for both my Part B and Part D premiums - in fact, they had already started reducing my monthly Social Security check! However, thanks to using Medicare Caddy, I learned that I had a Life Changing Event (LCE) that could eliminate my IRMAA surcharge. Medicare Caddy provided me the SS44 form which I completed and delivered to my local Social Security office. SSA immediately refunded me the IRMAA surcharge they had already deducted. I feel like Medicare Caddy saved me $ for my first 12 months! Jerry & Jan A. Atlanta, GA Medicare Caddy was extremely helpful in educating us both about how the Medicare system worked, as well as evaluating the options and plans that were available to us. We moved quickly in order to achieve an effective date on the first day of the month I turned 65 - and were pleasantly surprised to get a 12% premium household discount for married couples. Medicare Caddy is always available to answer any questions we have. We are pleased to recommend Medicare Caddy if you need help understanding your Medicare options. Kevin D. Brookhaven, GA My financial advisor recommended Medicare Caddy to me, and I was sure glad he did! Medicare Caddy took control of explaining the Medicare enrollment process and how my existing conditions would not impact options during my Open Enrollment Period. Even though I needed to change doctors as I enrolled in Original Medicare with an A+ rated Medicare Supplement and leading Part D plan, Medicare Caddy helped make everything happen in a timely manner. Medicare Caddy went above and beyond what I expected in the way of expertise and service. If you need help with Medicare, contact Medicare Caddy.
