About Me
Hi, I'm Alyssa Gonzales, and I know firsthand how overwhelming Medicare can feel because I've helped my own parents navigate the same maze. That's why I made it my mission to become the go-to Medicare expert here in Texas.
What sets me apart? I don't just explain Medicare; I make it work for you. Whether it’s cutting through the red tape, saving you money, or finding a plan that fits your unique needs, I bring clarity and confidence to the process.
Clients say working with me feels more like talking to a friend than an agent—and that's the highest compliment I could ask for.
Let’s make Medicare something you can feel good about. Reach out today, and let's get started!

Q&A with Alyssa Gonzales
What's one piece of advice you wish every senior knew before picking a Medicare plan?
Answer: I wish every senior knew that the 'best' Medicare plan isn’t the same for everyone...it’s the one that fits your specific needs and budget.
Too many people pick a plan based on what their neighbor has or just go with the cheapest option, only to find out later that their doctor isn’t covered or their medications cost way more than expected.
Take the time to compare your options, ask questions, and make sure you’re choosing a plan that actually works for you. And if you're feeling overwhelmed, talk to an expert, because guessing your way through Medicare can be an expensive mistake!
How do you educate clients who are completely new to Medicare?
Answer: I created a Medicare 101 Webinar for people wanting to understand the basics in a jargon free, easy-to-follow breakdown that helps you understand your options in just minutes.
If you’re new to Medicare, it’s the perfect place to start!
What happens if I am already retired and collecting Social Security when I turn 65?
Answer: You’ll be automatically enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B, no need to sign up yourself. Your Medicare card will arrive in the mail a few months before your 65th birthday.
My doctor recommended a bone density test. Is this considered preventive care under Medicare?
Answer: You bet! The key words are preventative and that it's medically necessary. It’s usually covered once every 24 months, or more often if medically needed. As long as your provider accepts Medicare assignment, you won’t pay anything out of pocket.
Shouldn't Medicare expand to cover more alternative treatments that actually help seniors?
Answer: This is a hot topic! Medicare mainly covers treatments that have strong clinical evidence behind them, but many seniors find relief through alternative options too. Medicare is evolving! It would be great to see more coverage for alternative medicine! Stay tuned!
What’s a common Medicare myth that even some agents still believe?
Answer: I hear this all the time! "You can only change your Medicare Supplement plan during the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP)."
That’s not true! You can apply to switch your supplement plan any time of year — as long as you can pass medical underwriting (in most states).
If you are wanting to go from a Medicare Advantage Plan to a Medicare supplement outside of Annual Enrollment Period then you need to make sure you have a qualifying Special Enrollment Period (SEP) before you begin.
