Employee
Assistance
You have options after age 65.
We help you understand your choices.
The Medicare Employee Assistance team assists Brown & Brown employees and their families with Medicare decisions.
Even if you have health insurance, it’s important to be informed about all your coverage options. Medicare may be an alternative to your current health insurance plan, and while you may choose to stay on your existing coverage, reviewing your options can help you make the most informed—and cost-effective—decision. Making uninformed choices about Medicare can lead to costly financial penalties. Our team has helped thousands of individuals confidently navigate Medicare plan choices through personalized, one-on-one consultations.
WORKING WITH US
Engage
Our eligibility specialists are available to guide those nearing age 65, or already Medicare-eligible, by providing education and support. Working with our team is straightforward and designed to give employees and their families peace of mind when making Medicare decisions.
Educate
We make Medicare easier to understand by explaining the basics and reviewing the plan options available in your area. Any employee or family member can take advantage of a no-obligation consultation to explore their Medicare choices. These services are completely voluntary and offered at no cost.
Enroll
As part of the process, we compare plans in your region to determine which options best align with your doctors, prescriptions, and pharmacies assuring flexibility and support. If you choose to move forward with Medicare, our team is here to guide you through enrollment and help you select a plan that fits your medical and financial needs, making the experience as smooth as possible.
