Have questions about Devoted Health? Join us at one of our Workshops this October!

We are hosting 6 drop-in workshops around the Portland-Metro area to explain Devoted Health’s 2027 Medicare Advantage plan and enroll those that are interested! No appointment needed, see below for details.

Let us know if you would like to attend by sending us an email at medicareteam@ddibenefits.com.

Preparing for a Workshop

Find out if Devoted is a good fit for you.

Take a moment to visit Devoted Health’s website and check to see if your current providers are in network and prescriptions are covered. Be sure to have names and dosages handy when you search!

What to Bring to the Workshop

  • Your red, white and blue Medicare card or Medicare number
  • Your doctor and prescription list with dosages

Save time: sign your consent form ahead of time! Medicare requires a short consent form, called a Scope of Appointment, before we talk about plans. Reply to this email if you are attending a workshop and we’ll send you a form for electronic signature. If you would rather wait, you can sign it at the workshop.

What to Expect at the Workshop

1. A friendly greeter will welcome you and check you in.

2. A licensed agent will give you a short overview of the plan and explain how the application works.

3. If you’d like to move forward with the plan, you will fill out your own application at a table, and an agent will guide you through each section.

4. We will double-check your application before you leave so nothing is missed.

5. You leave having done your part to enroll in your 2027 Medicare Plan!


Prefer to talk it through?

No problem! Keep your already scheduled appointment or contact us at medicareteam@ddibenefits.com or 503-206-4080 (TTY 711) to set up a phone or virtual meeting.
