We are new to Medicare and have recently selected BCBS as our Medigap insurance. We have done so on the recommendations of friends and relatives, but also because of the wonderful informational Medicare sessions presented recently by your SSI staff here in Bloomington, Illinois.

We were fortunate enough to be in sessions led by Lily and Jason Vida. We found these sessions very informative and clarifying. We had so many questions and some confusion pertaining to Medicare.

We greatly appreciated the organization of the material and the visuals used in the presentations. They were clear and easy to follow and understand. We also appreciated the fact that each and every question was answered and explained to our satisfaction.

We also met personally with Jason to assess our policy needs and to better understand the various Medigap plan options and Medicare Part D. Jason was so personable and easy to work with! He spent as much time with us as we needed.

He was very knowledgeable and helpful. We feel assured that we can call upon him at any time if we have needs, concerns, or questions.

During this time of preparing for Medicare, we have received a myriad of mailings and phone calls. However, we appreciate the fact that SSI came to Bloomington, opened an office, and held these informational sessions. Jason and SSI made all the difference to us!
