Why this matters in Aston

Common questions from Aston residents
Did the Crozer restructuring affect my Aston plan?
If your plan was Crozer-anchored, very possibly. The in-network specialist list and hospital tier may have moved. Network changes of this scale sometimes trigger a Special Enrollment Period. We can check whether you qualify.
Is Riddle Hospital in-network for most Medicare Advantage plans in Aston?
Most major carriers include Riddle because it's part of Main Line Health. Plan tiers vary. We verify.
What happened to Taylor Hospital and does that affect Aston residents?
Taylor Hospital in Ridley Park closed in 2025 as part of Crozer Health's restructuring. Some Aston plans had Taylor on their network. If yours did, the closest in-network alternative may be different than you think.
Do you cover Brookhaven and Village Green as well?
Yes. Same Delco agent, in person.
Should I enroll in Medicare Supplement or Medicare Advantage?
Honest answer. . . it depends on three things.
First, your providers. Medicare Supplement (Medigap) lets you see any provider in the country who accepts Medicare. No network. Medicare Advantage uses a defined network.
Second, your tolerance for variable costs. Medigap has a higher monthly premium but very predictable copays. Medicare Advantage usually has a low or $0 monthly premium but variable copays and coinsurance.
Third, your prescriptions. Medigap requires a separate Part D plan. Most Medicare Advantage plans bundle drug coverage in.
Aston sits in the part of Delco hardest hit by the Crozer restructuring and Taylor closure. That's exactly the case where Medigap's no-network structure is worth a serious second look. We sit down with your specifics and walk through both honestly.
Is there a way to help reduce or cover costs of Medicare Advantage co-payments and co-insurance?
Sometimes, yes. Hospital indemnity insurance is one tool worth knowing about.
It's a separate insurance product. Not a Medicare benefit, not a replacement for Medicare, not major medical. It pays you a fixed cash amount per qualifying event. . . hospital admission, ER visit, ambulance ride, ICU stay.
You decide how to use the cash.
For an Aston resident admitted to Riddle Hospital after the Taylor closure shifted the catchment, that cash offsets whatever the plan still leaves on the table.
Premiums vary by age, plan, and underwriting. We carry AccidentWise, AdvantageGuard, and CriticalGuard. We'll only bring it up if it actually fits your situation.
If a 15-minute review changes nothing, that’s a useful answer too
We don’t do paperwork on the first call. We’ll look at what you have, check your scripts and providers against what’s actually open in Aston this plan year, and if your current plan is the right one, we’ll tell you to stay where you are. That’s the whole pitch.
