Helping Seniors Make Better-Informed Medicare Decisions
Trying to pick a health insurance plan can be a chore for anyone. For many people, just mentioning the word "open enrollment" sends shivers down the spine. It seems like there's always a nagging feeling that you're wasting money, choosing a plan with poor in-network care, or both. One would think that health insurance gets easier as you approach retirement age, but the truth is that picking an initial Medicare coverage plan can be daunting.
Unfortunately, the confusing process of signing up for Medicare causes many seniors to forego healthcare coverage altogether. After all, Medicare enrollment can involve several federal agencies, including the Social Security Administration (or SSA) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (or CMS).
At Senior Medicare Insurance Services, our passion is guiding seniors through the confusion of Medicare. That way, they can enjoy retirement with peace of mind knowing they are protected and ready for life after 65. We work with dozens of insurance companies, giving our clients the chance to choose a plan that best fits their lifestyle.
We choose to design our senior insurance plans with a focus on optimal benefits structure, lower costs, and personalized service. Some independent insurance agencies see their aging customers as nothing more than a financial transaction waiting to happen. In contrast, we treat each of our clients with respect and dignity as we help them navigate the confusing waters of Medicare. Combined with individualized service, we help older Americans make well-informed decisions about insurance. Whether you're in need of senior Medicare Supplement Plan insurance in Rock Hill or simply have questions about signing up for Medicare, our team is here to help.

What is Medicare?
If you're approaching the golden years of your life, it's important you understand what Medicare is if you don't already.
Medicare is a federal health insurance program reserved for people older than 65 who have worked full-time for at least ten years. The Medicare program is paid for by a combination of worker payroll tax, premiums paid by Medicare enrollees, and the U.S. government.
There are four parts of Medicare:
This type of Medicare is free for most U.S. citizens. Medicare Part A helps older adults pay for care in a nursing facility, hospital visits, and some forms of in-home senior care.
This tier costs around $100 per month. It covers different outpatient services like lab tests, preventative care, doctor's visits, mental health care, clinical trials, and some forms of surgery.
This type of Medicare is most often called Medicare Advantage. This tier of Medicare allows seniors to choose health plans provided by insurance companies like Senior Medicare Insurance Services. Individuals who use Medicare Advantage commonly use Medicare supplement plan insurance to help pay for health care costs that Original Medicare won't cover, like coinsurance, deductibles, and copayments.
Sometimes called "PDPs," these plans add drug coverage to standard Medicare, some Medicare Private Fee-for-Service Plans (PFFS), some Medicare Cost Plans, and Medicare Medical Savings Account Plans (MSA).
The amount of money you pay for your health care depends on several factors, including:
- What kind of care you need, and how often it is needed.
- The type of Medicare coverage you choose.
- Whether there are alternative insurance policies that will help fill gaps in your coverage
- Whether a doctor agrees to charge you the same amount that Medicare will cover for a medical service
At Senior Medicare Insurance Services, we offer a number of health insurance solutions for seniors. Two of our most used services include Medicare Advantage plan insurance and Medicare supplement plan insurance.
Senior Medicare Supplement Plan Insurance in Rock Hill
Sometimes called Medigap, the purpose of Medicare Supplement Insurance is to help fill in "gaps" that might not be covered by Original Medicare. You can think of a Medigap policy as a supplement for your Original Medicare benefits.
Private companies like Senior Medicare Insurance Services sell this type of insurance right here in South Carolina. While Original Medicare will pay for much of the cost associated with health care services you need, it may not cover all of your expenses. Generally, Medigap policies do not cover costs stemming from eyeglasses, private-duty nurses, dental care, hearing aids, or long-term care.
Depending on the Medicare Supplement Plan that you choose, it may cover out-of-the-country medical services when you travel abroad. Assuming you have Original Medicare coverage, your policy will cover its share of Medicare-approved health care costs. Once your Original Medicare coverage reaches its limit, your Medigap policy will pay its share of the fees.
Our Medigap policies are drafted to meet your specific needs, and can help cover remaining health care costs such as:
Deductibles
Copayments
Coinsurance
Important Information About Senior Supplement Plan Insurance
To dispel some confusion, you should know that a Medigap policy is not the same as a Medicare Advantage Plan. The latter helps you receive Medicare benefits, while the former supplements the benefits you obtain through your Original Medicare plan. As you begin to explore Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans, keep the following important information in mind:
As you begin to explore Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans, keep the following important information in mind:
- To qualify for a Medigap policy, you must first have Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B.
- Payments on your Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan will be made to the private insurance company that you choose, like Senior Medicare Insurance Services. These payments are made every month and are paid in addition to the monthly payment you make for Medicare Part B.
- If you are the holder of a Medicare Advantage Plan, it is illegal for an insurance company to sell you a senior Medicare Supplement Policy. If you plan on switching back to an Original Medicare plan, you may be able to purchase a Medigap policy.
- If you have health problems as you age, your standardized Medigap policy is guaranteed to be renewable. So long as you pay your monthly premium, your insurance provider cannot cancel your policy.
- Medigap policies only cover one person. If you have a spouse or family member that would like coverage, they must purchase a separate policy.
- You may only buy a Senior Medicare Supplement Plan from an insurance agent that is licensed to sell them in your state. Senior Medicare Insurance Services has been licensed to sell Medigap policies in South Carolina for years. We have helped countless seniors get the Medicare coverage they need and continue to do so to this day.
- In the past, Medigap policies were able to cover costs related to prescription drugs. As of January 1st, 2006, prescription drug coverage is not available on Medicare Supplement Plans. The best way to get coverage for your prescription drugs is to join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan, often called Part D. Contact our office today to learn more about paying premiums on Medigap and Medicare plans.
For many people, the best time to buy senior Medicare Supplement Plan Insurance in Rock Hill is during the 7 months Medigap Open Enrollment Period. This period starts the day you turn 65 years old, so long as you hold Medical Insurance (Medicare Part B). Generally, during the enrollment period, you get more policy choices and better pricing. Once the enrollment period is over, you may not be able to purchase a Medigap policy. Contact Senior Medicare Insurance Services today to determine if you qualify for a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan.
Senior Medicare Advantage Plan Insurance in Rock Hill, SC
A Medicare Advantage Plan is a kind of Medicare health coverage designed to provide seniors with all their Part A and Part B Medicare benefits. Many Medicare Advantage Plans will often include coverage of the following:
- Preferred Provider Organizations
- Special Needs Plans
- Private Fee-for-Service
- Medicare Medical Savings Account Plans
- Health Maintenance Organizations
In addition, most Medicare Advantage Plans give seniors coverage for their prescription drug needs. When you enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan through Senior Medicare Insurance Services, your Medicare benefits are covered through your plan and will not be paid for by traditional Medicare.
How Medicare Advantage Plans Work
Sometimes called "MA Plans" or "Part C," Medicare Advantage Plans are considered an "all in one" solution to Original Medicare. Senior Medicare Advantage Plans are only offered by private companies that are approved, like Senior Medicare Insurance Services. Seniors who enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan are still on Medicare. However, these individuals enjoy bundled plans that give seniors the benefits of hospital insurance (Medicare Part A), medical insurance (Medicare Part B), and sometimes drug coverage (Part D).
Medicare Advantage Plans are very popular because they cover all Medicare services and make life a little easier for seniors who have trouble understanding the nuances of Medicare.
When you contact Senior Medicare Insurance Services to choose your Medicare Advantage Plan, ask your agent about Medicare prescription drug coverage. Unless you already have drug coverage (Part D), you should seriously consider Part D coverage to help reduce costs associated with prescription drugs. You may also want to consider a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan to help fill gaps in coverage that Original Medicare will not cover.
Medicare Advantage Plan Insurance Rules
Medicare works by paying a set amount of money to the companies that offer senior Medicare Advantage Plan insurance in Rock Hill. That money is used to pay for the care services that you need. Because Medicare Advantage Plans are different, you should expect out-of-pocket costs to vary depending on the plan you choose.
Different plans have different rules for how you receive services, such as:
If you must go to facilities, suppliers, or doctors that belong to your Advantage Plan for non-urgent and non-emergency care.-
Whether you must get a referral to see a specialized doctor
Companies that offer Medicare Advantage Plans must follow strict rules, which are set by Medicare and can change every year.
Paying for Your Senior Medicare Advantage Plan Insurance
How much you pay for your Medicare Advantage Plan varies and depends on a few different factors. In most cases, if you need a kind of medical service, you will need to rely on the doctors and providers in your plan's service area and network to pay the lowest amounts. In some cases, if you choose to use a service outside of your plan's network of coverage, you may have to pay out-of-pocket.
We encourage you to contact our office today to learn more about Medicare Advantage Plans, how they work, what your options are, and how often you will have to pay out-of-pocket, if at all.

W&M News and Notes
- The Tribe and Eagles square off for the first time since 2000 when they square off in the opening game of the Rock Hill Classic. The teams met in back-to-back seasons 24 years ago, and Winthrop won both including a 71-64 victory in Rock Hill, S.C., in January of 2000. The Eagles are the Tribe's second Big South foe on the road this season.
- In the Tribe's Nov. 12 win over Norfolk State, W&M held a decisive advantage from beyond the 3-point arc, outscoring the Spartans, 48-3. The Tribe attempted a school-record tying 46 3-pointers, equaling the mark from a double OT game at Liberty in 2008. W&M's 16 made 3-pointers against NSU ranked sixth on the program's single-game list.
- The Tribe used a balanced attack in the win over Norfolk State with only one player in double figures – 18 points from junior Kyle Frazier. All 11 players who saw action scored, including 10 with five or more points. Adding to the Tribe's balanced nature this season, a different play has led the team in scoring over the first three games. Senior Gabe Dorsey led the team with 16 points vs. Dickinson, while senior Noah Collier and junior Chase Lowe topped W&M with 15 each at Radford.
- W&M has used a deep rotation to start the season with 11 players seeing action in each of the first three contests. According to KenPom.com, W&M ranks 14th nationally in % of minutes played off the bench (41.4%). In total, 10 players are averaging double-digit minutes, nine are averaging at least 5.7 points per game and seven with at least three rebounds per game.
- Over half of W&M's points this season have come off the bench. The Tribe has scored 55.9% (137-of-245) of its points off the bench and is averaging 45.7 points per game from its reserves, which ranks seventh nationally and second in the CAA. In the win over Norfolk State, W&M reserves scored 51 of the team's 84 points. Last season, Brian Earl's Cornell team led the nation at 36 points per game from reserves after coming in fifth at 30.4 points per game in 2022-23.
- Three-point shooting has been a key piece of head coach Brian Earl's offenses, and it has proven true to start this season. W&M ranks third in % of field goal attempts coming from 3 (60.8%) according to KenPom.com, sixth nationally in 3-pointers attempted per game (37.3), 15th in 3-pointers made per game (12.3), and 16th in % of scoring from 3-pointers (46.6%). Earl's teams ranked among the top 10 nationally in 3-pointers made and attempted each of the last two years at Cornell.
- Earl's teams are known among the fastest paced and highest scoring in the country. According to KenPom.com, W&M ranks 46th nationally in shortest average possession length at 15.2 and 71st in the country in adjusted tempo (72.5). Over his last three years at Cornell, Earl's teams ranked among the top 25 nationally in adjusted tempo each of the last three years.
- The Tribe has registered 20 or more assists in two of its first three games. In its most recent win vs. Norfolk State, W&M tallied 22 helpers on its 30 made field goals, and more impressively, nine different players had two or more assists. On the year, W&M ranks 32nd nationally with 66% of its made field goal being assisted. The Tribe is averaging 17.7 assists per game, which ranks 67th nationally and second in the CAA.
- Senior Gabe Dorsey was named to the Preseason All-CAA First Team by vote of the league coaches. He is the first Tribe player to earn preseason first team honors since Nathan Knight in 2019. Dorsey ranks third among returning players in the CAA at 14 points per game. He topped the Tribe with 16 points on 4-of-7 from 3-point range in just 14 minutes in the season-opener vs. Dickinson.
- Junior Chase Lowe, who was recruited by Brian Earl to Cornell before signing at W&M, was a honorable mention Preseason All-CAA selection. He was one of only 16 players in the country to average 12 points, seven rebounds and three assists per game in 2023-24. At Radford, Lowe led the team with 15 points.
- In his two seasons at W&M, Gabe Dorsey has established himself as one of the top 3-point shooters in the country. Last season, he set school records for 3-pointers (113) and 3's made per game (3.42). Those numbers ranked fourth and sixth, respectively, in the country. In 2022-23, he was fourth nationally in 3FG% (44.4) and 18th in 3's made per game (3.04).

A downtown Rock Hill speakeasy is about to open. Here’s what you need to know to get in

A long-awaited speakeasy in downtown Rock Hill will open next week.
Visit York County announced Elsie’s at Kounter will open Dec. 13. The 135 E. Main St. spot downtown is part of the Kounter restaurant and food group started by Rock Hill native Rob Masone.
The 900-square-foot speakeasy named for Masone’s grandmother will seat almost 50 people and have a counter bar with more than a dozen seats. It’ll have a street-front bodega, an entry “hidden” by a concealed door in the cheese shop and a secret code word for entrance (it’ll be on social media or at the restaurant next door).
Elsie’s will have a to-go charcuterie and second-level private event space, the latter opening in the spring. Elsie’s transforms 3,000 square feet of space previously used by an investment banking company.
“We’ve focused on creating a truly unexpected experience,” Masone said in Thursday’s announcement.
Elsie’s will have 50 annual memberships. Members will have personalized decanters displayed on a wall, private access at certain times and invitations to special events.
Elsie’s will have cocktails and non-alcoholic options. Small-bite sweets will be served, too.
Masone announced plans for a new speakeasy last year. It’s the latest project for the former South Carolina Chef Ambassador. Masone opened Kounter in late 2020 at the site of the 1961 Friendship Nine sit-in. One of Rock Hill’s prominent civil rights landmarks, the restaurant still recognizes the time when Black Friendship College students were denied service and arrested after they refused to leave.
Masone has won multiple regional awards during his run in Rock Hill, while operating a food truck, catering and event businesses. He’s been part of several events promoting restaurant week or tourism efforts for eateries across York County.
Masone also temporarily closed Kounter after Hurricane Helene while his team went to North Carolina to feed line workers there to restore power.

High school football gameday: What to expect in Rock Hill area’s three playoff games

Three teams from the Greater Rock Hill area are just one step away from playing for state championships in football. They will play Friday night for Upper State regional championships.
A season that started 3 1/2 months ago in 95-degree heat has advanced to the state semifinals, with temperatures likely near freezing by the end of Friday’s games.
Here’s a look at what to expect:
Gaffney (10-1) at Northwestern (12-0), Class 5A/Division 2 Upper State final, 7:30 p.m. — How about a traditional Upstate rivalry to settle the region’s football championship? These teams have met 17 times over the past two decades, with Northwestern winning 10 times, including 49-24 last season, when QB Finley Polk threw for 228 yards.
Gaffney has played on the edge this season. The Indians have won three times in overtime, and six of their games have been decided by a touchdown or less. QB Jayvon Gilmore has thrown for 2.086 yards, but Gaffney doesn’t have a running back with more than 414 yards this season. Then again, RB Jaiden McDowell carried for 101 yards last season against Northwestern, and he’s back this year.
Polk is just 55 yards away from reaching 3,000 for the season, with Jayden Nichols (61 catches, 871 yards, 10 touchdowns) and Kameron Vance (52 catches, 794 yards, 12 touchdowns) as his chief targets. And RB Zymier Gordon-Miles has passed the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the season.
South Pointe (11-2) at Westside (12-0), Class 4A Upper State final, 7:30 p.m. — So football fans across the state know about South Pointe RB Mason Pickett-Hicks, who ran for 485 yards last Friday and has 2,425 rushing yards for the season. And many of them know about QB Cam McMillon, who has thrown for more than 2,500 yards despite missing time with an injury. But the Stallion defense has been outstanding, averaging 12 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks a contest.
Then again, Anderson’s Westside is the defending 4A state champion, and the Rams have won 26 in a row. Their air game is outstanding, with QB Cutter Woods (a South Carolina commit) throwing for nearly 2,900 yards, with 36 touchdowns to just three interceptions. Defensively, Westside allowed an average of 19 points a game in the regular season, but the Rams have cut that to 5.3 per contest in the playoffs.
Lewisville (12-1) at Abbeville (11-1), Class 1A Upper State final, 7:30 p.m. — Lewisville has rolled over its playoff competition, but things get very difficult this week. Abbeville has surrendered points this season, so Lewisville QB Zach Rogers, RB Jordan Strong and company will want to keep the ball as much as possible. The Lions’ defense, which has scored a touchdown on a fumble recovery return in each of the last three playoff games, faces a big test.
The host Panthers have won eight state championships in the last 14 years and are 126-10-1 since 2015, all of that under 21-year head coach Jamie Nickels. They are led by quarterback/defensive back Damarcus Leach, a South Carolina commit, who will play defense in college but scored four touchdowns last week on offense..
The last time these teams met? Abbeville piled up an 85-22 victory in the 2019 1A playoffs. The Panthers then moved up to 2A but have dropped back to 1A this season.

Westminster Catawba Christian School senior guard Brycen Redmon, one of the top-ranked players in South Carolina, has a knack for scoring.
Only a few games into the season, the 6-foot-1 athletic guard from Fort Mill has been a scoring machine, including two 30-point performances.
He can score in multiple ways and his quickness has been a problem for defenders staying in front of him every game this season.
Redmon is proud of his strong start to his senior season, but helping his team win in any way that he can is his focus.
So far that’s meant battling through a minor fracture in his elbow, getting poked in the eye in a game last week and battling the flu during Saturday’s game against Victory Christian in the Charlotte Hoops Challenge at Harding High School.
Still, Redmon is averaging 28 points, six rebounds and three assists per game for Westminster Catawba (3-5), which had its first 20-win season under coach Ed Addie in 2023-24 and is out to repeat that this year.
Redmon said he’s determined to make the team go.
“Whatever it takes,” Redmon said. “If that’s getting 50 points; if that’s getting 10 assists, if that’s getting 10 rebounds, whatever I can do to help my team win.”
Redmon’s mentality was put to the test during Westminster Catawba’s 89-67 loss to Victory Christian Center at the Charlotte Hoops Challenge.
Redmon struggled in the loss and was limited to 18 minutes because of foul trouble and illness. Despite not being on the court, he continued to do whatever it took to support his squad.
“My coach has a saying, ‘The sun doesn’t shine on the same dog every day.’ And today wasn’t really my day,” Redmon said. “I still have to be a great teammate and support the team and keep up the energy while on the bench.”
After the game, he explained what his team struggles with the most.
“We didn’t do a bad job scoring the ball, but we gave up more points than we should have gave up,” he said.
Redmon is willing to become a better defender if that’s what it takes to help the team.
He wants to work on defense and get better as Westminster Catawba goes “back in the lab” Monday to prepare for Tuesday’s conference opener at Sweet 16 No. 4 Concord Academy.
“I love the game,” he said. “If there’s four better scorers and I’m just averaging five points and 12 assists, it’s whatever it takes to get my team the win.”
