Why Live Oak and Suwannee County seniors call us
Live Oak is the county seat of Suwannee County, and it’s the kind of place where people still want to look someone in the eye before they make a decision. That’s how we like to work too. We’ve been helping North Central Florida seniors since 2013, and our owner, Gwen Parrish, built the brokerage around plain talk and patience instead of pressure.
Licensed and credentialed
Here’s what matters when you pick a Medicare broker:
We’re independent, so we compare plans from several insurance carriers rather than pushing one company’s product.
We’re licensed Medicare insurance agents, and our team includes a Registered Social Security Analyst (RSSA®).
We’re a member of NABIP, the National Association of Benefits and Insurance Professionals.
We explain the parts of Medicare in everyday language before anyone signs anything.
A captive agent who only sells one brand can’t really compare your options. We can. If you’ve been searching for a Medicare agent near me and getting national call centers, that’s the difference you’ll notice right away.
What we help Live Oak residents with
Medicare has a lot of moving pieces. We walk you through all of them and help you decide what you actually need.
Medicare Advantage plans
These Part C plans bundle your coverage together, often with extras. We check that your Live Oak doctors and pharmacies are in the plan’s network before you enroll.
Medicare Supplement insurance
Also called Medigap, these policies help pay the costs Original Medicare leaves behind. We compare what each one covers so you understand the trade-offs.
Prescription drug coverage
A Part D review makes sure your medications are covered without overpaying. We run your actual drug list, not a guess.
Supplemental coverage
Dental, hospital indemnity, cancer, and other policies can fill gaps depending on your situation.
Not sure where to start? Most people new to Medicare are better off with a full plan review than picking something online and hoping it works out.
Our help is free to you
This surprises a lot of people, so we say it plainly. Working with our Medicare broker costs you nothing. The insurance carriers pay the broker, so you get one-on-one guidance, plan comparisons, and enrollment help at no cost to you. Your premium is the same whether you use us or sign up by yourself, so the real choice is whether you have someone local in your corner who knows the plans and reviews them with you every year, or you track all of that on your own.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Medicare broker in Live Oak?
A Medicare broker in Live Oak compares plans from multiple carriers, checks that your doctors and drugs are covered, and handles the paperwork, so a wrong plan doesn’t cost you later. You’re not legally required to use one, but since it costs you nothing, there’s little reason to sort through it on your own.
Is your help free?
Yes. Our Medicare broker service is free to you. The insurance carriers pay the broker, so you don’t pay anything extra for our time, our plan comparisons, or our help enrolling. Your premium stays the same either way.
What areas near Live Oak do you serve?
We serve Live Oak and all of Suwannee County, plus Lake City and the surrounding North Central Florida counties, including towns like Lake Butler, Jasper, Branford, High Springs, and the Gainesville area. Our office is in Lake City, a short drive from Live Oak.
What’s the difference between a Medicare agent and a Medicare broker?
A captive agent usually represents one insurance company and sells that company’s plans. An independent Medicare broker, like us, works with several carriers and compares them for you. That means we can match you to a plan based on your needs rather than one brand’s lineup.
What does a Medicare broker charge?
Nothing, in our case. Brokers are paid by the insurance carriers when you enroll, so the cost to you is zero. You get personal guidance and a yearly plan review without any fee. Call us at (386) 222-3030 to set one up.
