What insurance companies do you use for supplemental Medicare?

I represent 10 supplemental companies in CA

Hello Teresa. I am seeking a supplemental not an advantage plan. Is this something you can assist with? Also I prefer to meet in person.…

Yes absolutely I cover all product lines, including Medicare supplement plans. Feel free to contact me anytime as open enrollment starts Oct 15th. Thank you.

We do a lot of preventative healthcare, which is not covered by our current plan so I want to set up a high deductible plan with an HSA or FSA?

Hello Kelly, are you on Medicare or group insurance? I only handle medicare insurance plans. This maybe a question for your HR department.

Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

As my 65th birthday approached, the stress from knowing I would have to switch to Medicare…read moreincreased because I was having such a hard time finding proper guidance. Adding to the stress was the fact that I could be financially penalized if I did not switch to medicare in a timely matter. Then, I was referred to Alison Gordon, the insurance mom. She sent me one email that demystified the entire process. From there, we had one phone call where she clearly explained all my options. With that, a giant weight was lifted from my shoulders and life was good again. I found Alison to be knowledgable, experienced, thorough, kind and witty. I highly recommend her.

Where do I begin? To…read moresay my experience with this broker has been frustrating would be an understatement. I was originally enrolled in my health insurance through her back in 2017 by my former partner. After our separation, I needed to explore more affordable options since my financial situation had changed. Naturally, I contacted my insurance provider, Anthem, directly to discuss cancelling or modifying my plan. To my surprise, I was told I could not make changes through them and would need to go through my broker. That's where the difficulty began. When I attempted to contact Ms. Gordon, I was met with a voicemail stating that I needed to provide my credit card information just to speak with her. She would not answer questions via email or text--only through a paid phone consultation. This immediately raised concerns for me. I was trying to cancel my plan and transition to a different provider, Kaiser Permanente, and did not feel comfortable sharing my credit card information in that situation. Given today's environment, I believe it's reasonable to be cautious about providing sensitive financial information--especially when I was not trying to make a payment, but simply cancel a service. Interestingly, my former partner--who originally set up the policy--confirmed he was never required to provide credit card information just to communicate. It seemed that once my intent to cancel became clear, the process became significantly more difficult. Eventually, after I informed her that I had already secured new coverage independently, she reached out to me. During that conversation, she attempted to get me to state that she had enrolled me in the new plan, which I declined. At that point, I had deliberately chosen not to work with a broker due to how complicated the cancellation process had been. To be fair, when I spoke directly with Anthem, they were helpful--until they realized I had originally signed up through a broker. That experience made it clear to me that consumers can enroll directly with insurance providers and may have more control by doing so. In hindsight, it felt as though there was little incentive to assist me in cancelling, especially given that brokers often earn commissions tied to active policies. Whether intentional or not, the process felt unnecessarily obstructive. I'm sharing this experience as a caution to others: if you work through a broker, your insurance provider may direct you back to them for support--even for basic account changes or cancellations. That can create an added layer of difficulty when you're trying to make decisions about your own coverage. As a client for over seven years, I expected clearer communication and more flexibility--especially during a time when I needed to make a change. At the very least, alternative ways to communicate (email, basic support, or a receptionist) would have made a significant difference. Due to this experience, I plan to file a complaint with the California Department of Insurance so the situation can be reviewed.

BRIAN SMITH! BRIAN SMITH! BRIAN SMITH!! Brian is the man…read morewith the dedicated and caring plan! I cannot believe the work he does for me, how CARING he is, making sure that I pay what I can afford and STILL get a GREAT HEALTH INSURANCE program. If you want GREAT insurance at a WOW LOW price, I wouldn't look any farther than Brian Smith at Newport Benefits Insurance. I met Brian after I was laid off years ago. COBRA was going to kill me through bank attrition. Brian found the Perfect program at a perfect price that I could easily afford. Then, when I got another job, I stayed with Brian and Covered California, rather than switching insurance. That's because Brian was able to find me another great rate for my new employed status. I felt good about that too, because those of us who are employed and work with Covered California because we are either still not rich or are self employed, HELP other people simply by staying with CC. That's how CC works to help EVERYONE... But let's be honest, we mostly care about ourselves, our health, and our Bank account. Brian Smith is my go-to person, so that I feel safe, knowledgeable, covered and cared for... by my insurance agent. What?!?!? Brian's knowledge, caring and positive attitude sure doesn't hurt! He stays on top of changes and lets me know when a better rate is available. He knows that not everyone is a billionaire, and makes me feel good about making a thrifty and healthy decision. But hey, If you want to talk with a jerk who only cares about your money, ignore my review. Brian Smith gives insurance agents A GOOD NAME! Work with Brian and let me know how great he was for you!

Mary Tran is a fabulous agent to work with, her knowledge is extensive, and she really knows her…read moreproducts. Yet she explains it in layman's terms. She will be our insurance agent from now on. I highly recommend Mary.
