BASKING RIDGE, N.J.–Affinity Federal Credit Union has launched a new Medicare Planning Services in partnership with MedicareCU, an independent insurance agency specializing in Medicare education and guidance for credit union members nationally.
MedicareCU is a Utah-based CUSO.
According to the credit union, the service is designed to help members understand their healthcare coverage options and choose the Medicare plan that best supports their personal and financial needs.
“Medicare coverage can vary significantly based on individual health needs, prescription costs, income level, and preferences for supplemental or Medicare Advantage plans,” Affinity FCU said. “Many individuals find the enrollment process and plan differences confusing. Affinity’s new Medicare Planning Services provides members with access to licensed advisors who offer clear, personalized guidance – so members can confidently evaluate coverage options and make informed decisions.”
‘Care & Clarity’
The service is available to members at no cost.
Added AFCU President and CEO Kevin Brauer in a statement, “Medicare decisions are not one-size-fits-all. They deserve care, clarity, and a trusted advisor who puts your needs first. Affinity is committed to supporting our members at every stage of life, and partnering with MedicareCU allows us to provide expert, unbiased Medicare education in a way that aligns with our member-first values.”
