Sample check, shown to illustrate. Every plan in your county goes through the same one.

It's not you. It's how the system is built.

78% of people on Medicare say shopping for or switching plans makes them anxious (Deft Research, 2026).

39 plans

available to the average person in 2026, before you count stand-alone drug plans or the ten Medigap letters.

KFF, Medicare Advantage 2026 Spotlight (Dec 2025)

7 in 10

people on Medicare don't compare their coverage against other options at all.

KFF analysis of the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (2022 survey data)

Over 5 million

people will have their Medicare Advantage plan cancelled or changed in 2027.

It's built around the sale, not around you. That's what we set out to fix.

What this looks like for real people

New to Medicare

New to Medicare, shocked by the cost next to an employer plan

Lowerout-of-pocket costs

A client expected Medicare to cost less than the plan she was leaving. Premiums were higher, but once we ran her doctors and prescriptions, her out-of-pocket exposure came in lower than the employer coverage she was giving up. She enrolled knowing both numbers.

Medicare Advantage

Hidden drug cost increase caught before it hit

$3,000+est. annual savings

A client’s Tier 3 copay was quietly moving to 18% coinsurance for the new year. We confirmed her doctors were accepted elsewhere and moved her before the change took effect.

Plan G / Medigap

Guaranteed issue window, saved with one day to spare

$2,500–$4,000est. annual savings

A client had been told the wrong dates by a previous agent. Her guaranteed issue window was still open by a day, so she got Plan G (Medicare Supplement, which helps pay what Original Medicare doesn’t) without medical underwriting.

* Estimated savings based on each client's reported costs. Your results will be different.
