My Medicare journey started a few years ago when my dad asked me to help him figure out Medicare. I thought this would be a piece of cake, but boy was I wrong.
Since the Medicare Coach isn’t a broker or an insurance company, (meaning we don’t accept any payment or commission from insurance companies), our number one and only goal is ensuring you do what’s best for you.
Today, I want to share with you a quick story about the Medicare Coach.
Larry created the Medicare Coach nine years ago because he knew there was a better way to make a Medicare decision. Larry first started with Medicare in the 90s while he was trying to help his mother-in-law. She had Medicare and was sick, and no one knew what this Medicare thing was and what it did or didn’t cover.
It seemed that everywhere Larry turned all he found were insurance companies trying to sell another Medicare Advantage plan or supplement plan. Larry was incredibly frustrated that there weren’t any independent Medicare experts for unbiased Medicare advice.
Larry ended up spending weeks going through all the ins and outs of Medicare to understand Medicare, including the rules and best companies, and ultimately, his mother-in-law’s coverage.
Afterward, he knew so much about Medicare that his friends turned to him for help when making their decision. In 2010, Larry officially created The Medicare Coach to help people across the country easily make the right Medicare decision.
While we’ve been involved with Medicare for a very long time, most importantly, Larry is on Medicare. For this reason, we look at Medicare from the patient perspective, not the insurance company perspective.
People frequently ask us, “Who are you with? Are you with these people sending me the mailings or calling me constantly?”
We are not. Those mailings you receive, the phone calls, the advertisements, those are from insurance companies or companies marketing for insurance companies.
We receive no payments from any insurance company, and for that reason, we are indifferent as to which plan you pick.
When people receive commissions from insurance companies, they are incentivized to sell/recommend plans that make them the most money even if it’s not best for you.
At the Medicare Coach, our mission is to help you easily make the right Medicare decision. We want you to make a decision that is right for your health situation, your finances and gives you access to your preferred doctors and hospitals.
I have put together a free 75-minute online Medicare workshop that takes you through the 5-steps of Medicare to easily make your right Medicare decision.
