East Tennessee Medicare Insurance Helpline 1-855-721-8091 (toll free)
We understand how complex and confusing selecting a Medicare plan can be, especially for people who are just turning 65 and eligible for Medicare for the first time. The five East Tennessee hospitals of Tennova Healthcare are promoting a free helpline designed to help Medicare beneficiaries select a health plan that fits their needs and budget.

The free helpline connects callers with local licensed agents who can assist in comparing traditional Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Supplement and Prescription plans, and then facilitate enrollment in the plan(s) selected. Medicare annual enrollment is from October 15th through December 7th. Licensed insurance agents are available at no cost or obligation to help consumers find a Medicare plan that meets their health care needs.
