What do you like most about being a Medicare agent?
Answered by 430 licensed agents
Knowing my clients enables me to determine if they qualify for any additional benefits through the state. I am also proficient at helping my clients solve issues that may arise, as I have access to solutions outside of their plan.
My clients are part of my extended family!

I operate with morals, values, and integrity. I have been hurt by people who sold me based on greed or malicious intent. I never want a client or proposed client to even question that. So as long as I can respect the person in the mirror each day, know that I am doing a needed service for someone with care and sincerity, and provide for my family and future in the process, my satisfaction is fulfilled!

I work primarily in the senior space; over seeing a provider group, my wife and I own Red Mountain Funeral Home in Mesa AZ and having an insurance agency Speros Financial Group. The combination of these allows us the opportunity to help more people than ever expected.
Medicare has all kinds of options for folks to pick from, being able to spend time with folks and really find out what they need out of their Medicare plan no matter if I get paid or not. Knowing at the end of the day I truly helped someone out, find something that best suits their needs.
Makes it all worth it in the long run and keeps me going day to day. Hearing... Thank you :)

Over time, I changed my career path from the property and casualty insurance so I could learn the intricacies of Medicare and be able to assist more of my family. Little did I know at the time that I would eventually leave as a captive agent and branch out as an independent agent with my own business.
As I grew more experienced in this field, my passion for helping others only deepened as I continued within the industry. I provided assistance to insurance carriers within the industry to help facilitate more options for Medicare beneficiaries within the market.
Unfortunately, I also witnessed firsthand how some agents exploited seniors, even going so far as to use my business name unethically to boost their commissions. These experiences only strengthened my resolve to operate with integrity and advocate fiercely for those I serve.
Being an independent broker allows me the freedom to get to know my customers, understand their unique needs and provide appropriate solutions tailored to their needs. I am intentional in picking up as many contracts as possible with insurance carriers to facilitate those needs. I receive a lot of referrals because my clients know that I am one who can be trusted. I operate with integrity to the extent that I will enroll clients in products that may not offer commissions. I started with my family. Now, I am here for yours!

I am known for
"Making Medicare Simple"!
Sadly I find, 90% of those that qualify for MEDICARE, select their plan based on the wrong reason.
Those turning 65 are very often still healthy.
To select the plan that fits them, they need to consider, how they want their plan to work in the event thru have a bad health issue develop.
My stress of For California has over
97 plans.
Their is a reason.
Again, if they have sn adverse health condition, my place is to simplify their selection based on how they want to be medically cared for.

One of my most memorable moments was when I assisted a client overwhelmed by their Medicare plan's complexities.
After patiently guiding them through their choices, they expressed immense gratitude for the clarity and support I provided.
Knowing that I can make a significant difference in someone’s life—especially for those who may feel lost in the system—is what I love most about this role.
It’s not just about selling insurance; it’s about empowering Medicare beneficiaries to make informed decisions that enhance their quality of life.

One of the main reasons I love being a Medicare agent is that I get to help people during some of the most stressful and vulnerable times in their lives. Every day, I meet people who are not only navigating complex healthcare decisions but are also concerned about how to afford the care they need. As a Medicare agent, I get to offer clarity and reassurance, guiding clients toward coverage options that fit their unique circumstances. I help them decide w/o regrets because I educate them, so they can make an informed decision.
With approximately 10,000 Americans turning 65 every day, the demand for Medicare guidance continues to grow steadily, ensuring a robust client base and job stability well into the future. This steady influx of new clients, coupled with the ability to build long-lasting relationships as people live longer, allows me to help more people while also growing my business. The role offers flexibility, independence, and a chance to become a trusted advisor in my community. As I grow my team, I will train them just like me, to take an educational approach. I’m also a second-generation medicare agent of 43 years —a combination that makes being a Medicare agent both a stable career choice and a personally meaningful vocation.

I especially enjoy the challenging cases — when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or told “there’s no good option.” That’s where I thrive: digging deep, asking the right questions, and finding solutions others miss.
More than anything, I like knowing I’ve brought peace of mind. Medicare can feel like a maze, but my clients know they have a guide who’ll walk with them, not just hand them a map and disappear.

Take for instance dental implants. Most Medicare Advantage plans include dental coverage, but don't cover implants. With that knowledge, I may suggest a Medicare Advantage plan that includes a Part B giveback, and then take that giveback and buy a dental plan that helps cover those implants. Then when they get those implants done, we can cancel the dental policy and move them to a different Medicare Advantage plan if they would like. It's so important to have seniors on the best coverage for themselves each year. And each year can change.

This work is really about walking people through choices that fit their needs — I help them optimize their prescription coverage and keep the doctors they trust.
People appreciate having someone reliable they know they can trust, and that’s genuinely rewarding, personally.

Step 1: What parts of Medicare should you enroll in?
Step 2: If yes, how and when to enroll in Medicare properly.
Step 3: Deciding between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage.
Step 4: Picking an insurance company.
Our customers enjoy our easy 4 step process because it is a pain free experience that results in the proper selection and enrollment into Medicare.
We have the privilege of helping people with Medicare every day!

From St. Agatha to Waterville and from Macias to Moosehead lake Northern Maine meeting new people has been very rewarding. Over the first 9 years benefits on all plans were improving we it was exciting to get you more benefits for less money. In 2025 and I believe even more so in 2026 benefits will be tightening, so it is more important than ever to find a local agent who enjoys answering you questions year around and helping you find the best plan for your individual wants and needs.
