What is a Medicare Broker?
If you’re new to Medicare or reviewing your coverage options, you may have heard the term "Medicare broker"—but what exactly do they do and how can they help you?
The world of Medicare can feel overwhelming with its ever changing rules and countless insurance options. That’s where a Medicare broker comes in. Think of them as your personal guide, helping you navigate the maze of Medicare to find the right coverage for your needs—at no cost to you.
In this article, we’ll break down what a Medicare broker does, why using one can save you time and money and how a trusted expert can help simplify the process.
What does a Medicare Broker Do?
A Medicare broker (also known as a licensed insurance agent) is a certified Medicare expert that can help you compare and enroll into the right Medicare plan. Here at
Seniors Health, we work with multiple insurance companies, so we can provide unbiased recommendations based on your healthcare needs and budget. Here’s how we can make your life easier:
1. We Do the Research for You
Instead of spending hours comparing plans online or calling different insurance companies, we do all the legwork for you. We'll ask about your doctors, prescriptions and budget, then present available plans in your area that are best fit to you.
2. We Explain Your Choices Clearly
Medicare isn’t one-size-fits-all. A Seniors Health Broker will walk you through the differences between the different parts of Medicare. More information can be found on our Medicare Overview page.
- Original Medicare (Parts A & B)
- Medicare Advantage (Part C)
- Prescription Drug Plans (Part D)
- Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Plans
We can explain costs, coverage gaps and which plans work best with your lifestyle—so you can make an informed decision without any confusion.
3. We Help You Enroll
Once you’ve chosen a plan, we will handle all the paperwork for you and ensure a smooth enrollment process. We also keep an eye on annual changes, so you can stay informed each year and help you make any changes if needed.
4. We're your Agent for the Long Haul
A good broker doesn’t disappear after you enroll. If you have billing questions, claim issues, or need to switch plans in the future, we're just a phone call away. We provide free lifetime Medicare support for the life of your policy.
Why Use a Medicare Broker instead of calling an Insurance Company Directly?
You could call an insurance company directly, but here’s the catch:
- Insurance agents who work for one company can only offer their own plans—meaning you won’t get a full comparison of other available options in your area.
- A Medicare broker works with multiple carriers, so they can find the best fit for you, not just the only company they represent.
- Brokers don’t charge a fee. They're paid by insurance companies, so their advice is truly free and unbiased.
In short, a broker shops around for you, helping you save time and potentially hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars in healthcare costs.
💡 Medicare Tip
A Medicare broker is a real licensed professional. They must complete extensive training, pass state exams and maintain certifications with each insurance carrier they represent. Plus, they renew their training every year to stay updated on Medicare changes—so you’re always getting up to date information and expert advice.
