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.

Q&A with Cody Brown
I'm turning 65 next month; what are the first steps I should take regarding Medicare enrollment?
Answer: If you are not drawing social security and automatically enrolled in Medicare, you will need to enroll in part A and part B. You can apply online at SSA.gov
Are Medicare Advantage plans really "free," or is that just clever marketing?
Answer: Medicare Advantage plans are not free. Some plans have a premium and some have no premium. Either way they are funded by tax dollars, so you have been paying into it your whole working life.
Can I switch from a Medicare Advantage plan to a Supplemental/Medigap plan during the Annual Enrollment Period without answering health questions?
Answer: No, you can not enroll in a medigap plan with no underwriting during the annual enrollment period. You can enroll any time of year, but you will always be subject to underwriting unless you qualify for a guarantee issue right.
What's the deal with Medicare covering medical equipment like wheelchairs- do I need a special approval?
Answer: Medicare does cover durable medical equipment. You would need approval from your doctor and is typically covered at 80%
How can I get dental and vision coverage with Medicare?
Answer: Medicare does not cover routine dental and vision. You would need to get purchase coverage outside of Medicare, or seek these benefits through a Medicare Advantage plan.
