Your Independent Insurance Agent Has Medicare Expertise

Serving Medicare Beneficiaries in California and Other States

Having a skilled, accessible and independent Medicare agent at your side has many advantages when compared with an ever-changing national call center that is more about a new sale and less about personal service year after year. Because Griset Medicare Solutions wants an on-going personal relationship with you, we deliver annual Medicare reviews and coverage options as plans change each year.

How We Serve You

About half of all seniors report that Medicare is confusing at both at enrollment and even later.An AARP survey found that only 40% of Medicare beneficiaries review their plan changes each year because it’s still confusing.

You will be successful in Medicare because of the personal attention we give to your needs and preferences. As an independent Medicare specialist with agreements with most of the major Medicare plans (we are not biased in any one direction), we are able to blend your priorities with personalized coverages. Examples of these priorities include the retirement lifestyle you anticipate, the preferred physician and medical service relationships you want to maintain, the medications you need, the financial risk you want to control and the projected retirement budget you have.

Why is it smart to work with an Independent Medicare Agent?

As an independent Medicare Insurance Agent we work for YOU, not for an insurance company. Unlike a “captive agent” or call center with only one plan to sell, we are independent and unbiased. We can work this way because we spend more than 100 hours annually to be certified with most of the major Medicare plans. This significant investment of time allows us to provide you with many coverage choices, not just one. As an Independent Medicare Agent we are on your side of the table at all times!

Our Advising is Free-of-Charge

We work for you without charge because when you review your options, and choose and enroll in a plan, we are compensated by the plan you choose. Beyond your start in Medicare, we continue serving you year after year without charge. Whether in year 1 of your coverage or year 7, we provide you a coverage review that optimizes your benefits and keeps them affordable.
