I’m based in Acampo, ten minutes from Lodi. Whether you’re turning 65, comparing Medicare Advantage and Supplement plans, or just tired of guessing, I’ll walk you through it in plain English — at no cost to you.

I’m an independent agent, so I compare plans from multiple carriers and I’m paid by the carrier you choose — your premium is the same either way.
Tell me about your doctors, your prescriptions, and how you use your coverage. Phone, video, or in person around Lodi & Stockton — your choice.
I check that your doctors are in‑network and your medications are covered, then show you the two or three plans that actually fit — with the costs in plain numbers.
Enrollment is the beginning. When a bill looks wrong, a plan changes, or you move, you call me — not a 1‑800 number.
Medicare Advantage networks and Part D formularies are local. Two neighbors on the same street can need different plans because of where their doctors practice. Before recommending anything, I check the plan against the hospital systems people here actually use:
If you already have a doctor you trust, the first thing we do is make sure you keep them.
HICAP — California’s free Medicare counseling program. The Northern California office covers Sacramento, San Joaquin, Yolo, and Placer counties. 1‑800‑434‑0222
Medicare — for claims, cards, and general questions. 1‑800‑MEDICARE (1‑800‑633‑4227)
Social Security — to sign up for Parts A and B. 1‑800‑772‑1213 or ssa.gov/medicare
I’m not affiliated with any of these agencies. I list them because a good agent should be one of several places you can turn.
Your Initial Enrollment Period runs 7 months: the 3 months before your birthday month, that month, and 3 after. Still working with employer coverage? You may be able to delay Part B — let’s check before you decide.
Annual Enrollment. The one time each year everyone can change Medicare Advantage or Part D plans for January. Plans change every year; a review is worth 15 minutes even if you’re happy.
California’s birthday rule lets people with a Medicare Supplement switch to an equal or lesser plan each year without health questions. Most people don’t know it exists.
Yes. I’m in Acampo, so Lodi, Woodbridge, Galt, and Stockton are all close. Many clients prefer phone or video; either way there’s no fee.
It changes every plan year, which is exactly why I check networks before recommending anything. Tell me your doctors and hospital and I’ll show you which plans include them for the coming year.
Often not, if you have coverage through an employer with 20 or more employees. The exceptions are where people get burned, so it’s worth a short call before you decide.
Nothing. I’m paid by the insurance carrier when you enroll, and your premium is the same whether you use an agent or sign up directly.
Fifteen minutes by phone or video, or in person anywhere around Lodi & Stockton. No fee, no obligation, and no plan I don’t believe in.
