My husband and I recently met with Mel Brickman as we needed help choosing appropriate healthcare coverage for 2027. Mel set aside 90 minutes for our appointment which I felt was extremely generous. He patiently explained the choices we had and helped us select excellent coverage for the coming year and beyond. It was in our best interest to have our own policies as my husband and I have different health issues. Mel’s vast knowledge base of different types of coverage was invaluable as we selected what’s best for us. I have already recommended Mel Brickman to others and will continue to do so!

Q&A with Mel Brickman
I'm a low-income senior who can't afford my prescription drugs even with Medicare Part D. What specific assistance programs should I apply for?
Answer: Income is a determinate of the eligibility for various assistance programs on both the Federal and State levels. You should first check in with the Social Security Administration to confirm the income level that is on file for you at the federal level. If it is accurate and you have not been informed of your eligibility for the Extra Help program, then I would move on to your state's Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs and Medicaid assistance programs, which go under different names and have varying guidelines. Some states have specific agencies that could help you with this process.
I'm turning 65 next month; what are the first steps I should take regarding Medicare enrollment?
Answer: For the newly eligible Medicare recipient, speaking with a knowledgeable agent is the 1st step one should take. Examine your current situation and future goals. Discuss subjects such as current coverage, whether an HSA exists and ongoing needs and future plans. These are the drivers of what decision path is most suitable.
What is the biggest mistake seniors make when enrolling in Medicare?
Answer: Oftentimes, I find that new Medicare enrollees do not have an understanding of how Medicare works to offer health benefits. Before one can make a choice of Medicare options, one must know the differences. Using an informed and trusted professional agent is the best approach to making the best decisions for oneself.
