A county, not one market
Los Angeles County is large. Two households a few miles apart can have different Medicare Advantage networks, extra benefits, and Part D lists. Alan Blackwell works from Arcadia. Most people meet him on Zoom or by phone from home — in Los Angeles, Long Beach, the San Fernando Valley, the South Bay, the Westside, or the San Gabriel Valley. Adult children, family members, caregivers or authorized representatives can listen in.
Cities we hear from
People call from Los Angeles, Pasadena, Long Beach, Glendale, Burbank, Santa Monica, Torrance, Inglewood, Downey, Whittier, Pomona, Arcadia, Alhambra, El Monte, and other Los Angeles County communities. Where you live matters because plan lists are tied to ZIP code. We do not name or rank plans on this website.
Hospitals you may already use
Neighbors often mention Cedars-Sinai, UCLA Health, LAC+USC, Harbor-UCLA, Huntington Hospital in Pasadena, Methodist Hospital of Southern California in Arcadia, City of Hope in Duarte, and Kaiser Permanente facilities around the county. Whether a hospital or doctor is in a given Medicare Advantage network depends on the product and the year. We do not list networks here. Ask the office, and confirm on Medicare.gov.
Public help in the county
California HICAP offers free Medicare counseling at 1-800-434-0222. City senior centers and Los Angeles County aging programs can point you to local services. Medicare.gov and 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 711) have the complete list of products in your ZIP. Medisure does not run those programs. We currently represent 6 organizations that offer Medicare Advantage and Part D products in California. We do not offer every plan in your area.
How a conversation usually goes
Education first: how Original Medicare, Advantage, Supplement, and Part D fit together. If you later want to discuss a specific Medicare Advantage or Part D product, a Scope of Appointment is required first. This website does not enroll you in a plan.
