Why Lake Butler and Union County seniors work with us
Lake Butler is a small, close-knit town, and most of the medical care folks here rely on means a drive over to Lake City or down toward Gainesville. That matters for Medicare, because the plan you pick decides which of those doctors and hospitals you can use and what you’ll pay to see them. A plan that looks fine on paper can leave you stuck if your cardiologist or pharmacy isn’t covered.
We pay attention to that. As an independent Medicare broker, we represent multiple insurance carriers rather than pushing one company’s products. So when you tell us which providers you see and which prescriptions you take, we can line up your real options side by side and explain the trade-offs in plain English. You make the call. We just make sure you can see the whole picture before you do.
We’ve helped North Central Florida seniors since 2013. Owner Gwen Parrish built the brokerage on a simple idea: educate, empower, and serve the people who walk through the door. Our agents are licensed, and our team includes a Registered Social Security Analyst (RSSA®) and a member of NABIP, the National Association of Benefits and Insurance Professionals.

What we help Lake Butler residents with
Medicare has a few moving parts, and the right setup depends on your health, your budget, and how you like to get care. Here’s where we can help:
Medicare Advantage plans (Part C)
These bundle your coverage and often add extras like dental, vision, and prescriptions. We check that your Lake Butler and Lake City providers are in network first.
Medicare Supplement insurance (Medigap)
This works alongside Original Medicare and lets you see any doctor in the country who takes Medicare. That flexibility is a big draw for rural households that travel for specialists.
Medicare Part D prescription drug plans
We run your medication list against each plan’s formulary so you’re not surprised at the pharmacy counter.
Supplemental coverage
Dental, hospital, and other senior insurance products that fill gaps Medicare leaves behind.
Not sure which of these you even need? That’s a normal place to start. Most people new to Medicare are better off booking a plan review than picking a plan off a website. Bring your questions and we’ll walk through it together.
Our help is free to you
This surprises a lot of people, so we’ll say it plainly: working with our Medicare brokers costs you nothing. Brokers are paid by the insurance carriers, not by you, so your premium is the same whether you enroll through us or on your own. The difference is you still get one-on-one guidance and a real person to call when something changes, all at no cost, instead of handling each change yourself.
How we serve Lake Butler
You’ve got two easy ways to work with us, and you can pick whichever fits your week.
Come see us in person at our Lake City office. It’s a short trip from Lake Butler, and a lot of Union County clients prefer sitting down face to face to go over the paperwork. Prefer to stay home? We help plenty of Lake Butler residents entirely by phone. Same advice, same agents, no driving required.
Either way, you talk to a local team that knows this corner of North Central Florida, not a call center reading from a script.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Medicare broker in Lake Butler?

You’re not legally required to use one, but getting it wrong can be expensive to fix.
