Taos is a long way from a big hospital system, and that shapes the Medicare decision more than anything else. For many people here, a specialist visit means a drive to Santa Fe or Albuquerque.
That’s why we start with where you actually get care. A Medicare Advantage plan with a thin local network can make those trips harder, while Original Medicare with a supplement works with any provider who accepts Medicare. Some people in Ranchos de Taos or El Prado are happy with Advantage. Others up in Arroyo Seco, Questa or near the Ski Valley want the flexibility. We compare both honestly.
Uncle Sheldon Insurance is a Medicare broker, and our team handles the comparisons, the enrollment and a review every fall when plans change. If a claim gets stuck or a pharmacy says a prescription isn’t covered, you call the same team that helped you choose. You can read more about our Medicare across New Mexico, and the help costs nothing extra.
