The Right Medicare Plan Changes Everything.

Most people on Medicare miss out on significant benefits every year not because they don't care, but because no one took the time to show them what was available.

We dig deeper. We check which plans cover your doctors and your medications, and we match them to your budget. Then we build a real recommendation around your specific situation.

  • ✓ Your doctors and hospitals stay in-network
  • ✓ Your medications are covered at the lowest cost we can find
  • ✓ You don't miss out on dental, vision, or fitness benefits
  • ✓ We stay with you after enrollment, every year, not just once

🤝

We Stay With You

Annual reviews, plan changes, questions. We're here for the long haul.

💵

How We Get Paid. No Secrets.

The insurance company pays us, not you. When you enroll we get a commission, and then a renewal each year that you stay on the books with us. That renewal is where most of our income comes from, along with people you might refer our way later, and we deserve neither of those things if we put you in something that doesn't fit. So it's in our own best interest to impress you and get you into the right plan the first time. You will never be billed for a consultation or anything else we do for you.

Happy, Healthy Clients

About MagnifyMed & FAQ

Who we are, how we work, and answers to the questions we hear most.

How we work

You will only ever talk to one person here, and that person is licensed. I do not hand you off, and nobody speaks with you about plans before I do.

Here is what happens when you reach out.

You fill out the intake form, or you book a call. Either way, the first thing I ask for is a Scope of Appointment. That is a short form Medicare requires before an agent can discuss Medicare Advantage or drug plans with you. It protects you: it says what we are allowed to talk about and confirms you asked for the conversation.

We talk. On a scheduled call, recorded as Medicare requires. I ask about your doctors, your prescriptions, your pharmacy, how you use your coverage, and where you actually live, because the plan you can enroll in depends on your permanent address.

I send you a written plan recommendation. One plan, chosen from the ones I offer in your area, with my reasoning spelled out. You read it on your own time.

If you want to go ahead, I prepare the application and you sign it electronically. I am the agent of record on your enrollment. Nobody else.

After you are enrolled, you have my direct line and a booking link for a fifteen minute call any time a question comes up. There is never a charge to you for any of this. I am paid by the insurance company when you enroll, and a smaller amount each year you stay on the plan, which means my incentive is to get it right the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Medicare, enrollment, and how we work.

Chapter 1 / The Basics
Medicare is a federal health insurance program primarily for people aged 65 and older. It also covers some younger individuals with disabilities or specific diseases like ALS or end-stage renal disease.
Part A covers hospital insurance. Part B covers medical insurance including outpatient care. Part C (Medicare Advantage) is an all-in-one alternative through private insurers. Part D covers prescription drug costs.
Original Medicare covers hospital and medical services through Parts A and B. Medicare Advantage (Part C) bundles the same coverage plus extra benefits like dental, vision, hearing, gym memberships, and even a monthly allowance for things like vitamins and pain relievers, often at low or $0 premiums.
Costs vary. Part A is usually premium-free if you've paid Medicare taxes long enough. Part B has a monthly premium set each year by Medicare. Medicare Advantage and Part D plans have their own costs, and many Advantage plans carry $0 premiums with extra benefits built in.
Part A covers inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care, hospice care, and some home health care services.
Part B covers outpatient care, preventive services, ambulance services, and durable medical equipment.
Medigap covers the out-of-pocket costs that Original Medicare doesn't pay. That includes copays, coinsurance (your share of a bill), and deductibles. Two common options are Plan G, which covers a wide range of costs, and Plan N, which has a lower premium with small copays.
To log in on the government website, go to medicare.gov and look for the "Log In" button at the top right. If you need help with login questions or anything else, give us a call at (916) 510-0319 and we'll be happy to walk you through it.
You can reach us directly at (916) 510-0319 and we're here to answer your questions fast. You can also contact the government Medicare line at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227), or TTY users can call 1-877-486-2048.
Chapter 2 / Getting Enrolled
Your Initial Enrollment Period runs 7 months. It starts 3 months before your 65th birthday and ends 3 months after. The Annual Enrollment Period runs October 15 – December 7 each year. Special Enrollment Periods let you make changes outside those windows if something in your life changes, like moving or losing other coverage.
Yes. If you're already receiving Social Security benefits, you'll typically be enrolled in Parts A and B automatically at 65. You'll receive your Medicare card about 3 months before your birthday. You'll still need to actively choose a Medicare Advantage or Part D plan.
You may qualify for Extra Help (also called the Low Income Subsidy), a federal program that reduces or eliminates the cost of Part D prescription drug coverage. You may also qualify for a Medicare Savings Program that helps cover Part B premiums, deductibles, and copays. Give us a call and we'll help you figure out what you're eligible for. There is no cost to you.
It depends on the type of coverage you have. If you have employer insurance, Medicare may work alongside it. One pays first (called primary) and the other covers the remaining costs (called secondary). If you have retiree coverage, a union plan, or TRICARE, the coordination rules vary. We can help you understand how your specific situation works so you don't accidentally end up with gaps or duplicate costs.
If you or your spouse are still working and covered by an employer health plan, you may be able to delay enrolling in Medicare without penalty. Whether that makes sense depends on your employer's plan size and your specific coverage. It's worth a quick conversation before you make any decisions. Call us at (916) 510-0319.
You can sign up through the Social Security Administration. Go online at ssa.gov, by calling 1-800-772-1213, or by visiting your local Social Security office. If you're already receiving Social Security, you'll be enrolled automatically. Once you have Medicare, we help you choose the right Advantage, Supplement, or Part D plan to go with it.
Fill out our Plan Recommendation Report form. It takes about 10 minutes. Then we schedule a call to walk through your options together. No pressure, no obligation.
Chapter 3 / After You Enroll
Carriers typically say plan materials are sent within 15 days of your application. In practice, it often takes a bit longer. Most members receive a welcome packet by mail, a member ID card by mail, and an onboarding email from the carrier. That onboarding email usually gives you access to the carrier's member portal, where you can view your ID card, update personal info, search for in-network doctors, review drug coverage, and set up paperless communication.

If 15 days have passed and you haven't received anything, reach out to us rather than calling the carrier directly. Carrier call centers often have long hold times and may not know your specific situation. We advocate on your behalf. You can book a quick call at this link.
After enrolling, the next step is completing registration with your carrier's online member portal. You'll need your new Member ID number (or your Medicare number if your ID hasn't arrived yet). Here are the registration links for the major carriers:

If you haven't received your Member ID yet (typically 15+ days after enrollment), contact us and we can help you locate it.
Yes. Here are the provider search tools for the major carriers:

If you don't see your provider listed or want help, call us at (916) 510-0319.
Within a few weeks you'll receive your plan ID card and a welcome packet with your coverage details and next steps. We're here to help you understand your network, prescription coverage, and how to access your benefits. You'll also have access to preventive services like wellness visits, vaccinations, and screenings covered by your plan. And we stay with you for annual reviews, plan changes, or any questions that come up down the road.
Unfortunately, no changes can be made while your application is still processing with the carrier. Once enrollment is complete, you can log into your account or contact the carrier to update your information, including your email address. If you need help with that or want us to assist in contacting your carrier, schedule a quick call with us.
Not always. The carrier may send emails during enrollment, but not all of them require a response. Typically you'll get a confirmation once your application is processed. If additional action is needed, the carrier will include clear instructions. If you're unsure whether you need to do anything, schedule a quick call and we'll help you sort it out.
Yes. You can change your Medicare plan during the Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 – December 7) or during a Special Enrollment Period if you qualify. Give us a call and we'll walk you through your options.
Chapter 4 / Working With Us
No cost to you. No obligation. Insurance companies pay us the same amount no matter which plan you choose, so we have good reason to find you a strong match, with no incentive to favor one over another.
No. We aren't owned by any insurance company, and we're appointed with more than ten of them, so the plan we recommend comes from comparing them against your doctors, your prescriptions, and your budget, not from a contract we have to feed. How we get paid is spelled out above, and none of it depends on which carrier you end up with.
No. Medicare plans are priced by the government. The same plan costs the same regardless of whether you enroll through us, directly with the carrier, or through any other site.
We don't just enroll you and move on. We're here for annual reviews, plan changes, and support whenever you need it. You become a long-term client, not a transaction.
It is a form Medicare requires before an agent can talk with you about Medicare Advantage or drug plans. You check the types of coverage you want to discuss and sign it. It does not commit you to anything. It exists so that no agent can steer a conversation toward products you did not ask about, and so there is a record that you requested the meeting. I keep a copy on file for every client, as required.
Because Medicare requires it for any call where a Medicare Advantage or drug plan is discussed. The recording protects you: if there is ever a question about what was said, the answer is on tape. I tell you at the start of every call that it is being recorded.
It never costs you anything. When you enroll in a plan through me, the insurance company pays me a commission. Each year you stay on that plan, they pay a smaller renewal amount. The amounts are set by Medicare and are not the same for every kind of plan. What that means in practice: I only do well if you stay, so my incentive is to recommend the plan that actually fits, not the one that pays the most this year.

Sometimes, and only for emergencies.

Some Medicare Advantage plans include coverage for emergency and urgent care outside the United States. Not all plans do, and the ones that do vary in what they pay and how you file a claim. It is not coverage for routine care, prescriptions, or planned treatment abroad.

Two rules apply no matter which plan you have. First, your plan is tied to where you actually live. The address on your enrollment has to be your permanent home, and you need to spend most of the year there. Second, if you are outside your plan's service area for more than six consecutive months, the plan will disenroll you.

If you travel for long stretches, or you are thinking about living part of the year somewhere else, tell me before you enroll. The right answer depends on where you live, how long you are gone, and which plans in your area include the benefit. Some people are better served by a Medicare Supplement plan with foreign travel emergency coverage, or by separate travel medical insurance for the time they are away.

Me. I am the only licensed agent at Magnify Insurance Solutions, and I am the only person who discusses plans with you, prepares your application, or services your coverage afterward. If anyone else contacts you claiming to represent me or to be working with me on your Medicare coverage, please let me know.
