Meet our medicare experts serving Medicare beneficiaries nationwide
Prior to opening his doors for business as the Medicare Coach, Larry Wiegel, the founder of The Medicare Coach, was a financial planner. Back in the 90s, his mother-in-law was facing several health issues. As Larry was sorting through her medical bills, he discovered she had not one, but TWO different Medicare supplements. How could that be? (In case you’re wondering . . . today, that would be illegal.)
Uncovering the answer to this question is what motivated Larry. Unable to find any independent Medicare advice, he set out on a mission, reading anything and everything he could find to gain clarity on:
Once he had the answers to these questions, he was able to confidently help his mother-in-law. But then his phone started to ring. Clients and friends turned to Larry seeking assistance with their Medicare decisions.
As more and more people approached him, Larry was inspired to become a Certified Senior Advisor and attended several Medicare and Social Security training programs.
He opened his doors for business as the Medicare Coach in 2010. At that time, it was the only Medicare advisory service of its kind. Today the Medicare Coach team serves Medicare beneficiaries nationwide ─ making Medicare easy while saving you money.

What insights might a person so young have about Medicare?
That’s a question that hardly fazes Emily. While still not yet 65, she possesses a depth of insight and expertise far beyond her years, capable of steering you toward the optimal path.
Here’s why…
Just a few years back, Emily was entrenched in the financial hustle of New York City. “I thought I would go to NY to change people’s lives, but quickly realized that’s not where I could make a difference,” she recalled.
It was during a routine family visit when her father sought her assistance in deciphering the labyrinth of Medicare. Approaching his 65th birthday, he was besieged by a mountain of Medicare mailers cluttering his kitchen. Emily initially presumed, “This should be easy. After all, the answers must be in one of these mailers.”
Yet, upon closer inspection, she found the majority to be mere marketing ploys. None offered the clarity necessary for her father to make an informed decision.
“I thought I could figure it out on my own,” continued Emily. “But as I approached the task I had in front of me, I started to get mad at how complicated the whole Medicare process was.”
“There has to be an easier way,” Emily thought. “Just like I hire an accountant to help with taxes, I should be able to find an unbiased professional to help with Medicare.”
Then, a recollection struck her – someone had mentioned Larry Wiegel, the renowned Medicare Coach. She reached out, and the rest became history as fate would have it.
Under Larry’s tutelage, Emily delved into the intricacies of Medicare, gradually uncovering a realm both captivating and disconcerting. Insurance entities were priming individuals for misguided decisions.
”My dad worked so hard all his life and at a time when he needed the best health care available, the system was setting him up to fail.
Empowered by her newfound insights, Emily not only facilitated her father’s astute Medicare selection but embarked on a mission to enlighten others. Word spread, and soon, friends’ parents sought her counsel for their Medicare quandaries.
In 2016, Emily bid farewell to the financial sector, joining forces with Larry and the Medicare Coach team. Since then, she’s immersed herself in the intricacies of Medicare, guiding countless individuals nationwide toward informed decisions tailored to their unique circumstances.
