Frequently Asked Questions
What
Independent Medicare brokers represent multiple carriers and compare the entire market. Captive agents work for single companies showing only their products. Brokers provide broader comparison and objectivity.
Do Medicare brokers charge fees?
No! Both captive agents and independent brokers provide completely free services. You pay nothing for consultations, plan comparisons, or enrollment assistance—they’re compensated by insurance companies.
Why choose independent brokers over captive agents?
Independent brokers compare 5-10+ carriers simultaneously with no loyalty to single companies. Captive agents can only show their employer’s plans. Since both are free, why not get maximum options?
