Consumers searching for local Medicare Supplement insurance agents will be the target of a national print advertising effort announced by the American Association for Medicare Supplement Insurance.

"The 10,000 Americans who turn 65 every day have to make a decision regarding Medicare insurance and many want to work with local professionals," explains Jesse Slome, director of the American Association for Medicare Supplement Insurance (AAMSI).   The organization makes available the leading independent online directory of local Medigap agents.

"The Association's directory is the nation's number-one rated resource used by consumers to find local Medicare agents," Slome adds.  The free online resource allows consumers to check out information without having to enter any personal information.  "The consumer gets to see agent profiles and decide who they'd like to connect with," Slome adds. "All without cost, obligation or the need to enter their  information."

The Association's first ad will appear in the 2017 edition of Kiplinger's Retirement Planning Guide.  "Medicare planning is such an essential part of retirement planning and choosing the right Medicare insurance plan is one of the most important decisions a consumer will make," Slome notes.  "Kiplinger's is the leading resource favored by millions and the perfect place for our inaugural effort."

The American Association for Medicare Supplement Insurance is headquartered in Westlake Village, California.    Consumers wanting to find a local Medicare Supplement agent can visit the organization's website at www.medicaresupp.org or call 818-597-3205.
