Nothing. They are the exact same.  It’s our wish that Medicare would mandate one term or the other to avoid confusion. Medicare in fact goes back and forth with both terms.

Independent Medicare brokers are paid directly by the insurance companies they represent.  As a Medicare enrollee, you pay  the IDENTICAL rate for your insurance if you use a Medicare consultant (broker). There is no extra cost for enrolling through a broker.

This simply means that as our client, you do not pay for our Medicare help.

Our services are completely free for you.

When you select your plan directly from an insurance company, they will only quote their company's rates. As an Independent Broker, Jacqui Smojver will look at 30+ insurance companies to select the very best coverage and benefits for you.

Our existing clients also have the benefit of having our Client Services and policy support for your entire retirement. Whether you lost an insurance card, having billing issues, or need to make a Medicare claim or appeal, we are here to help and advise you every step of the way.

Medicare terminology can be confusing. We focus on educational videos, presentations, and content to keep Medicare as simple as possible for you. While the Medicare and You booklet can feel overwhelming, we will break down each part of Medicare so it is easy to understand.
