My MIL needed help with her Medicare. This place is a one stop , get you the best insurance for your needs and no cost. Repeat no cost!

Gerald Shintaku was very patient and thoroughly explained the difference in Medicare plans. And he is very personable and friendly.

11/18/22 Today I had occasion to text Mark Faildo. I needed a prescription for cough syrup with codeine. Unfortunately Safeway and Longs as well as their supplier were out of stock so I had to go to Times. Times pharmacy does not accept my Medicare drug insurance so I had to pay full price. I called Mark to find out if there was a way to file a claim with my I surer. He took it one step further and reassessed my insurance needs and found me a drug plan that was $22/month LESS than I was paying and was accepted at all of the pharmacies I might use! That is a huge savings. Mark is the best agent ever. p.s. I just received a letter saying my original drug insurance was going up $50/mo... so glad Mark stays on top of things. So now I'm saving $72/ mo. Crazy right! read more

These folks are awesome! My father was having some hangups trying to apply for Medicaid with Medicare. We contacted Juju of Premier Benefits Consultants and this is the amazing part. She called the Medicaid office *while on the line with my father* and basically was able to explain what was going on and help my dad with getting approved. Once they got off the phone the approval came the next day! Juju also thoroughly explained what my dad was to expect from his Medicaid plan, what materials he will receive, and what he can and cannot do with the plan. If it wasn't for Juju my father would not be able to get the help he needs. If you need help navigating Medicare benefits and other types of insurance benefits you may be qualified for, give these good folks a call! They're awesome! read more

I was losing my employer's healthcare coverage in two weeks so I applied to Medicare Part B online at ssa.gov. I called Social Security every other day for a week to check if they received my application. The responses I received from the Social Security customer service reps were: "It's not in the system yet." "It hasn't been uploaded yet." "The process could take up to 60 days." This was very bad news, I can't be without healthcare coverage, I need help. I remembered seeing a news segment on KITV news, the reporter talked about Premier Benefit Consultants, a well established local firm that focus on obtaining healthcare for seniors, they provide consulting services at no cost to seniors. I called Premier Benefit Consultants, spoke with Ralph Tatsuyama Jr., I told him the problem I was having with Social Security. Ralph said he will call Social Security with me on the line, we can speak with the representative. Wow, I felt so very supported and helped! He called, with me on the line, he asked the Social Security representative questions, got the pertinent information on what I need to submit to Social Security to complete my application for coverage to start on May 1, 2023. Wow, in a matter of minutes, Ralph solved my social security problem that I have been struggling with and worrying about for a whole week! I submitted the information to Social Security and in two days I received confirmation in my ssa.gov account my Part B coverage start date May 1, 2023! Ralph's experience and excellent, exceptional service is the reason I was able to get my Part B coverage start date of May 1, 2023! Now that I have Part B, I can enroll in a Medicare plan, Ralph found me the best plan for my needs with huge savings to me, it is a lot better than my employer's plan! Ralph helped me enroll in it with the start date May 1, 2023! I am so happy! I have the best healthcare coverage, I have peace of mind and I owe that all to Ralph. His experience, excellent, friendly, exceptional service and advice has made my transition onto Medicare the best experience for me. Should you need help or advice, I highly recommend Ralph Tatsuyama Jr. Mobile: (808) 225-3330 Email: ralph@pbchawaii.com read more

Recently I discovered that one of my doctors was no longer in my Medicare D network. I was disappointed especially when I got my bill! I remembered seeing an ad on TV for Premier Benefit Consultants so I called and I got in touch with Nicole. Wow, did I get lucky. She was so knowledgeable and very pleasant and helped me get a new plan. I am very satisfied with the service I received. She was so patient with explaining everything and I was so fortunate to speak with a local person where I could completely by myself and who understood the local, aloha attitude. Thank you PCB for the excellent care and attention to details afforded to me with Nicole! Hopefully that going forward this experience will be advantageous to my health care. Mahalo! read more

For someone who did some background checking on medicare supplement plans, after talking with Donne Soga, Medicare Advantage/Supplement Consultant, I realized that I didn't know as much as I thought. Donne really helped me understand the different types of plans and which plan would best be beneficial for me to enroll in. She also, through talking to me, was able to choose the best medicare advantage plan for my husband. Donne was very clear in her explanation about the different plans for medical, dental, vision, and drug and what was covered and what was not covered. I appreciate her taking the time to explain and explain to me questions that I had about the plans without making me feel that I was asking too many questions. I appreciate your attitude very much. Medicare plans are confusing to someone who does not deal with the plans on a daily basis; therefore, having a professional with a "can do" attitude is a definite plus. Thank you again! read more

Lee has been my mom's medicare agent for 2 years, and he helped us a lot. He has a office in Chinatown, my mom always go to his office whenever she has questions, and he's easy to get in touch with also. read more

My parents lost their medical because of this pandemic. They have been with the same company for almost 10 years. We never would have thought things could end like this. My neighbor told us to give Lee a call, because he helped him with his medical before. We called and had a video chat with him. He explained Medicare to us in details and even mailed over a book called " medicare & you". At the end, I have found a very reasonable plan for my parents. We are very thankful of his assistance. read more

I clearly forgot to add a very important note. Ralph does not charge his clients a dime, no matter how many times he meets with you or provides service. Even after you are signed with the Medicare insurance company of choice, he will assist you at no cost to you. The insurance industry actually pays Ralph for his services so he has no special interest in any one particular company and will help you choose the one that is best for you, without bias. You will want to know the information that Ralph possesses especially if you are an insulin-dependent diabetic, as so many local Asians elderly are. Call him. He's so disarmingly friendly and above all, is truthful and has no agenda other than servicing his clients. read more

I am beside myself in the best possible way after being connected with Taryn from Premier. I've been on the island of Oahu for 7 years floundering in finding my mother, whom has severe medical issues, appropriate medical advisory. Taryn went above and beyond to connect with me the right people to get my mom the assistance we've been praying for after all these years. Taryn was proactive, attentive and persistent in finding resolution to our issue. It is clear that each and every one of her clients matters and we aren't just a number. Throughout this process, there were several others at this company that were also vigilant in closing the loop - so I am confident this speaks to the impeccable client centric culture of this company. I can't thank you enough Taryn. Thank you for making such a positive impact on our lives. My mother and I will be forever grateful!!! read more

Fantastic customer service from Ralph Tatsuyama, Jr. at Premier Benefit Consultants as I decided to make a change in my longstanding Medicare Advantage insurance carrier which resulted in better overall coverage at an annual savings of almost a grand---mahalo nut loa, Ralph!!! read more

I was recommended by a couple of people to meet with Taryn to go over my medicare insurance when I retire. They raved how great she was in being well versed in helping people with the basic Medicare and choosing the right supplemental plan. I met with her and she is very knowledgeable, patient and responsive. She helped me through the Medicare process and thoroughly informed me of the advantage and supplemental plans that I could choose from. I originally picked a certain plan but after consulting with my doctors, I changed to another plan. She understood my needs. Taryn also helped me with the Life changing events form from Social Security. This helped me reduce my part B premiums. I have already recommended her to a friend and he is more than satisfied with her service. read more
