American Retirement Advisors and The Medicare Architects Spotlight Series continues with another Advisor introduction.
This week meet American Retirement Advisors Senior Advisor and
123Easy Medicare Speaker
Tammy Semler
Featured on this series episode: A family-oriented midwesterner whose passion for finding solutions creates confident and long-lasting relationships with her clients.
Tammy Semler is joining us via American Retirement Advisors and 123Easy Medicare. After years of long hours in a successful retail management career for various big-box stores, Tammy decided to shift gears to balance work and family. She was recruited into the insurance industry where she quickly thrived helping people. Years later, when she joined American Retirement Advisors and became a Certified Medicare Planner®, she found great reward in expanding her focus toward helping to simplify Medicare for clients. Tammy has become rather well-known in the Phoenix-area as a Medicare 123Easy workshop presenter after mentoring under CEO David Schaeffer.
When it becomes safe to resume live meetings, Tammy will return to splitting her time between our Mesa and Scottsdale offices meeting clients’ needs. Tammy’s influence in helping people impacted her son Brady who is also a part of the team. In fact, you may have spoken to him when calling or enjoyed some of his fun and corny jokes when he greeted you in the Scottsdale office.
A dedication to making Medicare easy and creating confident relationships is why we think Tammy is someone you should get to know!

What can folks do when they retire and are on Medicare, and then want to go back to work and enroll in their employer’s health benefits.
Experts- I’ll Have What He’s Having!
Choosing a plan based on a TV ad, a neighbor’s experience (good or bad), a postcard mailer, or a family member’s advice is not based on EXPERT advice. Unless, of course, your neighbor is a Certified Medicare Planner®!
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.
Savings- Manufacturer Coupons and Assistance Programs
Can you use drug manufacturer coupons and patient assistance programs when you are on Medicare to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses?
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.
Verify – What is an Employment Verification Form?
When transitioning to Medicare, employees will need a form called an Employment Verification Form from you to help them enroll under a special enrollment period and avoid penalties.
Honor – TRICARE for Life- A Military Thank You
