Can you sign up for Healthcare or Medicare over the phone?

We run Wenatchee Enrollment Center. For the last four years, we have been the full service enrollment center for the Washington Healthplanfinder located in Wenatchee.

In North Central Washington, we can see road closures. It is nothing to see North Cascades Highway, Sherman, or Stevens Pass close during the winter month. This year we saw Pine Canyon near Waterville, WA shut down with a landslide. So what happens if you need help with Healthcare?

For the majority of situations, we can enroll and make adjustments over the phone or using screen sharing technology. We have been doing business from Sequim to Spokane since the first year of the ACA when people scrambling to find help. We have even been known to help people calling in on Satellite phones from the Bering Sea!

We do recommend setting an appointment so that we have some introductory information and that we are not out of the office and can dedicate time for you. We also do walk ins if you are located in the area.

We do help year round however sometimes there are enrollment limitations. Be sure to catch our Podcast Suzilla.
