Cody Brown, Medicare Insurance Agent

About Me

Hi there! Are you tired of biased insurance advice? My name is Cody Brown, and I am an independent agent with Senior Benefit Services. I grew up in Lee’s Summit, MO and still live there. I enjoy spending time with my amazing wife, golfing, and traveling. I have the pleasure of serving seniors in the Kansas City area. SBS specializes in the Medicare market and we help retirees navigate the different parts of Medicare. Medicare can be very confusing, so I help clients with making the process as simple as possible. I explain the different parts of Medicare (Parts A, B, C and D) to make sure individuals understand how they all work! I will give you the pros and cons of the different Medicare plans specific to your market. We represent over 50 companies with different types of coverage options. We are able to shop the market for you to find coverage at competitive prices to fit your needs and your budget. My company has been doing this since 1975! The SBS offices also have a staff team that helps our clients and answers their calls without having to push any buttons to talk to a live person. Our services bring a lot of value to clients at no charge.
