Why Medicare Universe

Medicare guidance should start with you, not a plan.

Medicare comes with plenty of choices, terminology and fine print. Medicare Universe gives you a personal resource to help make sense of it all. We take time to understand your healthcare needs, doctors, prescriptions, priorities and budget before helping you explore your coverage options.

Why Work With a Medicare Broker?

More options. Less legwork. A real person to help.

You can research Medicare plans on your own or contact insurance companies individually. But when you contact one insurance company directly, the conversation naturally centers on that company's products.

A Medicare broker offers a different approach. Medicare Universe can help you compare coverage from multiple insurance carriers we represent, explain the differences and help you evaluate how each option may fit your individual healthcare needs.

Compare Multiple Carriers

Instead of making separate calls to different insurance companies, we can help you review options from the carriers Medicare Universe represents.

Look Beyond the Premium

Monthly premium is only one piece of the picture. Doctors, hospitals, prescriptions, copays, networks and other costs can all affect how well coverage fits you.

Medicare in Plain English

We explain Medicare in straightforward language so you understand what you are choosing and can make your decision with greater confidence.

A Different Way to Shop Medicare

One carrier's plans or a broader conversation?

Working with a broker can simplify the process by giving you one place to discuss your needs and compare the options Medicare Universe is authorized to offer.

Going Directly to One Carrier

The conversation starts with their products.

  • Review the plans offered by that insurance company
  • Contact other carriers separately if you want to compare
  • Repeat information about your needs with each company
  • Sort through the differences on your own

Why Medicare Universe?

You should never feel like just another policy number.

What does it cost to work with Medicare Universe?

There is no additional fee to you for Medicare Universe's Medicare education, plan comparison and enrollment assistance. Insurance carriers compensate licensed agents when eligible clients enroll in plans the agent is authorized to offer.

That means you can have a licensed Medicare professional help you understand your options and navigate the enrollment process without adding another bill.

Medicare Universe does not represent every plan available in every area. Plan availability and eligibility vary by location and individual circumstances.

Medicare Broker Questions

Frequently asked questions

A few common questions people have when deciding whether to work with a Medicare agent or broker.

Why should I use a Medicare broker?
A Medicare broker can help you understand Medicare, compare options from multiple insurance carriers the broker represents, review important plan differences and assist with enrollment. This can reduce the amount of research and separate carrier conversations you need to manage on your own.
Does it cost more to use Medicare Universe?
Medicare Universe does not charge you an additional fee for Medicare education, plan comparison or enrollment assistance. Licensed agents may receive compensation from insurance carriers for eligible enrollments in plans they are authorized to represent.
Can you compare Medicare plans from different insurance companies?
Yes. Medicare Universe represents multiple insurance carriers and can help you compare available options from the carriers we are contracted and certified to represent. We do not offer every plan available in every area.
Will you check whether my doctors and prescriptions are covered?
Doctors, specialists, hospitals, pharmacies and prescription medications can be important considerations when comparing Medicare coverage. We can help you review these factors as part of the plan comparison process.
Do I have to change Medicare plans if I speak with you?
No. Speaking with Medicare Universe does not obligate you to enroll in or change a plan. Sometimes reviewing your options may confirm that your existing coverage continues to meet your needs.
Can Medicare Universe help after I enroll?
Yes. Our goal is to build an ongoing relationship. Medicare plans and personal healthcare needs can change over time, so we remain available when Medicare questions arise and when it is time to review your coverage again.
