Alan Blackwell
I'm Alan Blackwell, founder of Medisure Agency and a Licensed Medicare Insurance Agent in California. I started Medisure Agency so people could understand their choices and find help without having to sort through a confusing system alone.
Technology that supports a person, not a pitch
I used to build complicated computer systems. That work taught me to explain a hard system in plain English. Tools such as My Medicare Checkup should make the conversation easier. They do not replace talking with a person.
More than Medicare
Health coverage is only one part of staying well. People may also need help finding food, rides, housing, caregiver support, or help with bills. Medisure Agency works with community groups that connect people to health programs, government benefits, and local help. Those relationships let us look past the insurance card and point you to other help that may be available near you.
Education before enrollment
I believe a Medicare conversation should begin with education. Medisure Agency's goal is to help you understand Medicare, ask the right questions, and evaluate your options based on your own healthcare needs, providers, prescriptions, preferences, and circumstances. That's also why I created My Medicare Checkup. It is a structured way to think through your Medicare situation. You leave with a list of questions to ask the office and items to confirm on Medicare.gov, and then you can decide whether to talk with Alan. I also write a book that I update every year so Medicare beneficiaries have a written resource they can use at their own pace. Medicare 2026 is meant to help you understand how Medicare is built, think through your health and coverage goals, and walk into a conversation prepared — not to choose a product for you. Start with education. Understand your options. Then decide what makes sense for you.
What Alan can help you understand
A personal conversation can help you:
- Understand the differences between Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, and Part D.
- Identify which doctors, hospitals, and medical groups need to be checked.
- Examine premiums, deductibles, copayments, and potential out-of-pocket costs.
- Review prescription coverage considerations.
- Understand enrollment periods and when coverage changes may be possible.
- Identify questions to ask before making a Medicare decision.
