Rather I reach out to you?
Hi, I'm Scott.
I'm a lifelong Oregonian and I've spent more than 20 years helping people with Medicare, at Kaiser Permanente Northwest, Regence BlueCross BlueShield and Providence Health Plan.
Now I run my own independent agency, NW Med Advantage. I'm not tied to a single insurance company, so I can compare plans from several of them and help you find one that fits.
Every appointment is by phone, so there's no driving and no sales visit at your kitchen table. Just a conversation at a time you choose.

Common questions
Does this cost me anything?
No. If you enroll in a plan, the insurance company pays me. You pay nothing extra for my help.
What happens on the call?
First you'll confirm which types of plans you want to talk about. Medicare requires that, and it keeps the call on your terms. Then we review your doctors, prescriptions and budget. Calls are recorded, as Medicare requires.
When can I change my plan?
Most people change during Annual Enrollment, October 15 to December 7, with new coverage starting January 1. If you're in a Medicare Advantage plan, you can also switch once between January 1 and March 31. Moving, losing other coverage and some other life events open a Special Enrollment Period.
Do I have to sign up for anything on the call?
No. Plenty of people just want answers. If you do decide to enroll, we can do it together on the phone.
