Lost Your Clear Spring Coverage? How to Use Your Special Enrollment Period Now

Are you one of the 12,000 residents recently notified that Clear Spring Health is exiting the Medicare Advantage market? If you live in Cook, DuPage, Lake, Kane, or Will County, your current health coverage is set to end on May 31, 2026.  

This isn't just a plan change; it’s a full market exit. If you don't take action by the end of May, you will automatically revert to Original Medicare on June 1st. While Medicare will auto-enroll you in a basic prescription drug plan, you could lose your current doctor networks, dental benefits, and the out-of-pocket protections you’ve come to rely on.

The Good News: You Qualify for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP)

Because your plan is leaving the market, you have a "guaranteed issue" right to join a new plan without medical underwriting. However, the clock is ticking.  

My name is Ron, and I specialize in helping Illinois seniors navigate these exact transitions. Whether you are looking for a comparable Advantage plan or considering moving to a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan to ensure your doctors are covered, I am here to help. I’m expanding my services specifically to support neighbors in the Chicago metro area during this transition.

Why Work With Me?

Navigating a plan exit is different than a standard enrollment. You need someone who knows the local Illinois networks inside and out. Here is what I bring to the table:

• Independent & Unbiased: I don’t work for the insurance companies; I work for you. I represent multiple top-rated carriers in Illinois, meaning my only goal is finding the plan that fits your needs, not a corporate quota.

• Local Expertise: I understand the specific provider networks in Cook, DuPage, Lake, Kane, and Will counties. I’ll cross-check your specific doctors and medications against every available 2026 plan.

• No-Cost Advocacy: My services are 100% free to you. You pay the same premium whether you go it alone or use my expertise—but with me, you get a dedicated advocate for life.

• A Stress-Free Transition: I handle the paperwork and the "fine print," so you can enjoy your summer knowing your healthcare is secure starting June 1st.

Don't wait until June 1st to find out your coverage has lapsed. Call or text me today at 1 618-978-0203 or email ron@medicareinsurancetechs.com for a no-cost coverage review. Let’s make sure your healthcare stays seamless.
