About Me
The person behind every Medicare review here, and the reasons I work the way I do.
Medicare Guidance From One Person Who Knows Your Details
I got into this work after watching friends pick a plan from a glossy mailer, only to learn later that their own doctor did not accept it.
So I keep my approach simple. You tell me about your care, I do the digging, and you get a written summary that walks through each option in words you can share with your family.
When a follow up question comes to mind, it reaches me directly. There is no handoff, no script to read from, and no pressure to pick something before you feel ready.
The Principles Behind Every Review I Write
Your Care Comes First
I begin with the people and prescriptions you rely on, then look for plans that fit around them. A low premium means little if your heart doctor sits outside the network.
Plain Words Only
Medicare has a vocabulary all its own. I translate it, so every summary reads like a note from a neighbor instead of a benefits booklet.
The Whole Cost Picture
Premiums are only one piece of the bill. I add in deductibles, copays and drug prices, so you can see what your real care may cost across a full plan year.
Your Decision, Your Pace
I lay out the options and explain the tradeoffs honestly. The final choice stays yours, and nobody nudges you toward one plan over another.
What You Can Count On From Me
What I always do
- Confirm every doctor and hospital you name
- Price your medicines at the pharmacy you use
- Explain enrollment windows before they close
- Put each recommendation in writing
- Revisit your plan when your needs change
What I never do
- Rush you toward a decision
- Gloss over the downsides of a plan
- Pass your details along for marketing
- Crowd your inbox with sales pitches
- Pretend a single plan suits everyone
The Moments When People Usually Find Me
Leaving A Job
Your workplace coverage is winding down, and you want to know what replaces it without leaving a gap.
Brand New To Medicare
Your card just arrived, the mailbox keeps filling up, and you want the real choices sorted from the noise.
A Plan Notice Arrived
Your plan mailed its annual notice of changes, and you cannot tell whether your costs or drug list moved.
A Doctor Left The Network
Someone you trust no longer takes your plan, and you want to know how you might keep seeing them.
A New Prescription
A medicine joined your routine, and the price at the pharmacy counter caught you off guard.
Helping A Parent
You are sorting out Medicare for someone you love and want a clear view before helping them decide.
