Do You Serve Hollywood, and Where Can We Meet?

Yes. I work with clients throughout Hollywood, from the beach to the neighborhoods west of I-95. We can meet at my Fort Lauderdale office, at your home, over the phone or on Zoom, whichever suits you.

Which Types of Insurance Do You Help Hollywood Residents With?

Much of my work is Medicare: Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement (Medigap) and Part D prescription drug plans, along with guidance for people turning 65 or retiring from employer coverage. I also help individuals and families with ACA Marketplace and off-Marketplace plans, small business owners with group plans for 50 or fewer employees, and self-employed people who need their own coverage.

If you may qualify for Extra Help, Medicare and Medicaid dual eligibility, a Special Needs Plan or a Special Enrollment Period, I can walk you through it. Dental, vision, life and supplemental insurance are available too, so one person can look after all of your family’s coverage.

How Do You Compare to Other Health Insurance Agents in Hollywood?

At a call center, or at an agency where you’re handed from one person to the next, you may speak with someone new every time you call. With me, you always work with the same person: me. You have my direct line, there’s no assistant or call center in between, and I reply within 24 to 48 hours.

Many people have had an agent who was hard to reach, promised a call-back that never came, or disappeared after enrollment, and some have only ever reached an automated phone system. I do it differently. I stay on after you enroll to help with claims and billing, I review your coverage with you every year, and I begin by asking about your health, your budget, your doctors and your prescriptions before I suggest a single plan. Then I lay out a full-year cost estimate for each option and go through it at your pace.

I bring 14 years in insurance, with the last 8 focused on Medicare, and I’ve been named a Top 100 HealthMarkets agent every year from 2022 through 2026. I’m licensed in 33 states, and my license (Florida License #W323530, NPN #17946070) can be verified through the Florida Department of Financial Services. My help is free to you, since premiums are generally the same whether you enroll through me or directly with the insurance company.

Do You Offer Every Medicare Plan in Hollywood?

No. We do not offer every plan available in your area. Currently we represent 8 organizations which offer 65 products in your area. Please contact Medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to get information on all of your options. In Florida, you can also get free Medicare counseling through the state’s SHIP program, called SHINE.

Does It Cost Anything to Work With You?

No. Plan premiums are generally the same whether you enroll through me or directly with the insurance company, so my help and my ongoing support come at no extra cost to you. Your quote and your plan review are free, and there is no obligation to enroll.

Keep in mind that the premium is only one piece of what you’ll actually spend. I add up the deductible, copays, drug costs and out-of-pocket maximum to give you a full-year cost estimate for each plan. If you may qualify for financial help with a Marketplace plan or with Medicare prescription drug costs, I’ll explain what that could mean for you.

Will My Plan Cover the Hospitals and Doctors I Use in Hollywood?

That depends on the plan, because every plan has its own network. Give me the names of your doctors, your hospitals and your pharmacy, and I’ll check each one against every plan we compare. If anything needs confirming, I’ll call your doctor’s office myself.

When Should I Start Looking at Plans?

Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period for 2027 plans runs from October 15 to December 7, 2026, and changes take effect January 1, 2027. For ACA Marketplace plans, Open Enrollment for 2027 coverage begins November 1, 2026, and you need to enroll by December 15, 2026 for coverage that starts January 1, 2027.

If you’re turning 65, your Initial Enrollment Period is a seven-month window around your birthday, and losing job-based coverage or moving can open a Special Enrollment Period at other times of the year. Starting early gives us time to compare carefully, so get your free quote and I’ll help you pin down your dates.
