About Melinda

Twenty years ago, when my parents became Medicare eligible, they quickly found themselves overwhelmed by the process and the many choices available. Around the same time, I was transitioning out of the corporate insurance world and evaluating the next chapter of my career. Helping my parents navigate Medicare became the inspiration that led me to begin advising Medicare-eligible individuals on their coverage options. I don't look at myself as a "salesperson", I am an educator. My goal is to make sure you understand what your Medicare options are and that you enroll in a plan that best suits your needs. I am licensed in Ohio, Michigan, Florida, Indiana, and Oklahoma. As an independent agent, I work for my clients—not insurance companies—analyzing available carriers to determine which option best fits each individual’s needs, whether that be Medicare Supplement, Medicare Advantage, or Medicare Prescription Drug Plans. I also ensure clients receive all the benefits they are entitled to. With multiple Medicare enrollment periods available throughout the year, I help clients enroll or make changes when the time is right. Contact me for no-obligation consultation. In addition to Medicare guidance, I am also a Registered Social Security Analyst, Certified Patient Advocate and also assist individuals seeking coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace.
