Featured on this interview episode: Enjoy this special episode where you can learn more about The Medicare Architects from… me!
In this episode, I virtually meet up with “65 and Counting” host Adam Frye to tell you how our team formed and how we are helping employers and HR professionals integrate Medicare education and smoothly transition employees.
I joined The Medicare Architects, a ‘spinoff’ from parent company American Retirement Advisors, to help promote a unique service brand dedicated to employers and their employees by supporting everything Medicare!
Why? Because individuals were asking for it!
My background in marketing, insurance, and public relations created a trifecta for delivering helpful and successful consultative partnerships for making Medicare@ Work 123easy!
The Certified Medicare Planners® with The Medicare Architects, are poised to help employees working past age 65 and planning retirement so that they can learn about Medicare and see ALL their medical options and make choices relative to their needs.
Its time for me to get to know you!
Contact me to find out how we are helping companies and municipalities nationwide!

Experts- I’ll Have What He’s Having!

Creditable – When Working Past Age 65
When working past age 65 make sure your employer’s health plan is creditable before you defer your Medicare enrollment when first eligible.
When COBRA Can Bite!
COBRA after age 65 presents many unrealized risks when enrolling in Medicare later. Create a Medicare transition plan to avoid these risks.
Advocate- Winning at Insurance Tug-Of-War
Certified Medicare Planners® can be advocates for your employees when situations arise with Medicare and Insurance companies.
Freedom To Choose
Medicare offers retirement benefit choices, and Certified Medicare Planners® provide Medicare transition with true fiduciary support.

Options – More Than Your Dad Has Ties!
Medicare has many plan options so you are not stuck with the Medicare plan you chose! You should review your plan annually.
