How it works

A decision made with you, never for you.

01

We talk

A phone call to learn about you: your doctors, your prescriptions, your budget, and what you want from your coverage.

02

I do the homework

I compare the plans available in your area against your needs, so you can see your real options side by side.

03

You choose with confidence

I walk you through the trade-offs in plain language. You make the decision, I handle the enrollment and stay with you after.

Medicare coverage

Medicare coverage, in plain language.Three kinds of Medicare coverage, explained in plain language.

Medicare Advantage Plans

All-in-one coverage · Part C

Hospital, medical, and usually drug coverage bundled into one plan, often with dental, vision, and hearing extras at a low or $0 monthly premium.

Learn how it works

Medigap Plans

Medicare Supplement

Pairs with Original Medicare to cover the deductibles, copays, and coinsurance it leaves behind, with the freedom to see any doctor who accepts Medicare.

Learn how it works

Prescription Drug Plans

Standalone Part D

Adds drug coverage to Original Medicare or a Medigap plan. The right plan depends on your exact medications and pharmacy, and a yearly review pays for itself.

Hospital Indemnity Plans

Not a Medicare plan · Available to everyone

A supplemental policy that pays you a fixed cash benefit when you're hospitalized, a popular pairing with Medicare Advantage to offset daily hospital copays.

Lowering your costs

You may qualify for help paying for your prescriptions.

If your income and resources are limited, federal and state programs can lower what you pay for prescription drug coverage. When we talk, I check whether you may qualify, and if a program fits, I help you complete the application. My help costs you nothing.

Extra Help (the federal Low-Income Subsidy), Medicare Savings Programs, and state or manufacturer assistance can lower your drug costs if your income and resources are limited. I check whether you may qualify and help with the application, my help costs you nothing.

Eligibility is determined by the government agencies that run each program. You can also apply directly through Social Security.

Extra Help (Low-Income Subsidy)

A federal program through Social Security that helps pay Part D premiums, deductibles, and copays.

Medicare Savings Programs

State-run programs that can help pay your Part B premium and other out-of-pocket costs.

State & manufacturer programs

Some states and drug manufacturers offer their own assistance for specific medications.

Criselda Hernandez

For six years I've helped Medicare beneficiaries navigate one of the most confusing decisions they face. I started My Insurance Specialist because this decision calls for more than a script and a sales quota.

My philosophy is simple: I don't pick your plan, you do. If a plan isn't right for you, I'll tell you, even when it would be easier not to.
