Upcoming 2021 Annual Enrollment

The upcoming 2021 Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 through December 7) is the one time of year when EVERY person with a Medicare Advantage plan or Prescription Drug plan can make a change to their plan. As your agent, I am in the middle of getting re-certified with various insurance companies and it looks like there will be some changes coming for the existing Medicare Advantage and Rx plans for 2021.

It is important for you to know that I am your Agent of Record. What that means to you is that if you ever have any questions about how your plan works, billing that doesn't seem right, are wanting to change your PCP (Primary Care Physician) or add a dental rider, etc., I am the person you would call. I can direct you on how to resolve the problem or, if necessary, do a 3-way call to the insurance company, doctor's office, or third-party vendor to get it taken care of. I also try to keep you informed of changes to Medicare or changes to your plan through my monthly newsletters.

But most of all, as an "Independent Agent," I represent ALL the major insurance carrier's products so you and I can compare the premiums, deductibles, co-pays and added benefits of multiple plans. This way you can feel confident you have the right plan for your situation. Some agents are "captive agents" with just ONE insurance company and therefore they can only sell that ONE company's plans - whether it is the most appropriate plan for your needs or not. They do not have the flexibility to show you pricing or benefits for multiple carriers so that you can compare them and see which one is the best fit for your medical coverage and budget.

Also, with the upcoming Annual Enrollment Period you are going to be inundated with television commercials, mailers, and phone calls. You will run into agents around every corner - at the grocery store, in the lobby of your doctor's office, at the pharmacy, etc. They are going to attempt to lure you into a different plan (whether it is right for you or not). If you buy into their rhetoric and sign up for the plan they are offering, I will no longer be your Agent of Record. That means I can no longer see your plan or help you with your plan and coverage. You would be someone else's client, or worse, if you sign up over the phone for a different plan, you will NOT have me as your agent ADVOCATE. And good luck getting hold of the same person twice when you call the toll-free number for assistance.

BOTTOM LINE…I am here for you! If you have any questions or need any type of assistance, please CALL ME for help or answers.
My number is (858) 935-9120.
If I am tied up, please leave a message and I will get back to you.


Greek Lemon Chicken and Potatoes

Greek Lemon Chicken and Potatoes

Quick End of Summer One Sheet Dinner

  • Prep: 10 mins
  • Cook: 50 mins
  • Total: 1 hr
  • Servings: 4

Ingredients:

  • 1 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • ⅔ cup chicken broth, plus splash to deglaze pan
  • 1 sprig chopped fresh oregano for garnish

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a large roasting pan.
  2. Place chicken pieces in large bowl. Season with salt, oregano, pepper, rosemary, and cayenne pepper. Add fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic. Place potatoes in bowl with the chicken; stir together until chicken and potatoes are evenly coated with marinade.
  3. Transfer chicken pieces, skin side up, to prepared roasting pan, reserving marinade. Distribute potato pieces among chicken thighs. Drizzle with 2/3 cup chicken broth. Spoon remainder of marinade over chicken and potatoes.
  4. Place in preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes. Toss chicken and potatoes, keeping chicken skin side up; continue baking until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 25 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F. Transfer chicken to serving platter and keep warm.
  5. Set oven to broil or highest heat setting. Toss potatoes once again in pan juices. Place pan under broiler and broil until potatoes are caramelized, about 3 minutes. Transfer potatoes to serving platter with chicken.
  6. Place roasting pan on stove over medium heat. Add a splash of broth and stir up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Strain; spoon juices over chicken and potatoes. Top with chopped oregano.
