    Meeting Olivia was a God sent moment. I am new to Medicare. I was very confused and truly terrified of what I was getting into with the Medicare program. Olivia was highly referred to me by a friend at my gym. Olivia came to my house and explained the Medicare plan to me in very easy language. I’m now knowledgeable about the Medicare program and not so terrified with my insurance change. Truly appreciate Olivia and Michael coming to my house for the first meeting and their kindness and patience

    My experience with Michael was amazing and outstanding. I was needing assistance with understanding Medicare. Michael met with me and went through the basics of Medicare with me with patience and understanding. Michael advised me in the best options for me and now I feel confident and comfortable with the Medicare program. Michael also worked on my prescriptions for the best options and opportunities available for help with the cost of my medications. Can’t thank Michael and Olivia enough!

Find out how Bankers Life long-term care insurance can offer you or a loved one the flexibility and independence you deserve. Someone may need long-term care if they can no longer perform activities of daily living on their own (such as eating, bathing, dressing, or taking medications). These assisted care needs usually arise as part of the normal aging process, but can also occur as a result of injury, illness, or cognitive impairment. Long-term care can be costly and Medicare may not cover many of the expenses. Long-term care insurance pays benefits for assisted care services received at a facility or at home
