Thirty seconds, right on this page. Pick morning or afternoon.
Come spend an hour with us
Plain English, nothing for sale, every question welcome.
Walk out knowing exactly what to do
Then enroll yourself with confidence, using our method.
Why Now
This is the most disrupted Medicare enrollment period since prescription drug plans (Part D) launched.
Plans are changing. Costs are moving. And most people are walking into it blind.
(Pssst. Yes, this also includes Medicare Advantage plans!)
On October 2, we’re going to sit down and walk through all of it: in plain English, at no cost, with nothing for sale in the room.
The Letter
Some people are getting a letter this month that says they’re on their own.
Advisors and agents around the Valley are mailing their clients to say they can’t help with Medicare this year.
That isn’t malice. Those are business owners doing what they have to do to survive and feed their families. The rules changed. The economics changed. We understand it completely.
But it leaves a lot of good people with nowhere to turn.
We can’t sit that out.
We can’t enroll everyone one-on-one. There aren’t enough hours in the day. So we’re doing the next best thing: we’re going to teach you to do it yourself, using the same method we’ve refined over 25 years.
Dear valued client,
We are unable to help with your Medicare coverage this year.
We are sorry.
A kind of letter arriving in Valley mailboxes right now.
The Ground Rules
There is nothing to buy at this workshop.
We want to be direct about this, because you’ve probably been to the other kind of seminar.
Nothing is for sale. Not a plan, not a product, not a service.
We’re not allowed to sell you anything. Medicare’s own rules prohibit it at an educational event, and we wouldn’t want to anyway.
Nobody is going to call you. Coming to this workshop doesn’t put you on a list.
This is a public service from the Certified Medicare Planners® at 123EasyMedicare with American Retirement Advisors.
The Real Thing
This is what it actually looks like.
Twenty-five years of rooms like this. Photos from our own workshops, not a stock library.
The Map
You’re not confused because you weren’t paying attention.
You see a headline. A big insurance company is pulling out of counties. Benefits are getting cut.
And you think: is that my plan?
Most people genuinely don’t know what they have. Not because they’re careless, but because Medicare has five doors, three cards, and a dozen names that all sound alike. Even people who enrolled last year forget which side they’re on. So every headline lands like it’s about you. Usually, it isn’t.
We start by fixing that. Nobody raises a hand. Nobody gets put on the spot. We put the whole map up on the screen, and within about ten minutes you’ll look at it and think: oh. That’s me.
Once you know what you have, the news stops being frightening and starts being useful.
The Program
Six things. Plain English. No jargon we don’t explain.
Medicare basics
What Medicare actually is at its core, and just as important, what it isn’t. Most confusion starts right here.
Supplement vs. Advantage, and where Part D fits
The two roads most people are on, how they’re genuinely different, and how drug coverage works with each one.
Navigating the “new and improved” Medicare.gov
It got redesigned. We’ll put it on the big screen and go through it together, so the first time you see it isn’t at home by yourself.
What Medicare.gov shows you, what it doesn’t, and where to find the rest
The most important 15 minutes of the morning. (See below.)
Enrolling, and what to do after you enroll
The part everyone forgets exists.
The Annual Enrollment Period, explained
Including Medicare Supplement enrollment periods and the Open Enrollment Period, so nothing catches you off guard in January.
The One Thing
Medicare.gov will not tell you the one thing you need most.
Go to Medicare.gov and you can see a lot. Every plan available to you. Deductibles going down. A max out-of-pocket that looks like half of what you pay now.
It looks like everything you’d need to decide.
It isn’t.
Medicare.gov will not show you:
Whether your doctor takes that plan
Which hospital you can use if you need a knee replaced
Which specialists you’d have to give up
You can choose the plan that looks best on the screen and find out in February that the doctor you’ve had for fifteen years doesn’t accept it.
We’ll show you exactly where to go to find that out before you enroll, not after.
If you take one thing home from this workshop, it’ll be this.
Your doctors: not shown here
Networks, hospitals, and specialists live somewhere else. We’ll show you where.
What the plan finder shows, and the one box it leaves empty.
The Hour
About 60 minutes, plus questions.
Let’s take the emotion out and talk dollars and cents.
You’re allowed to be angry about what healthcare costs. Most people are, and most people have earned it.
But anger doesn’t pick a plan.
So for sixty minutes, let’s set it aside and just look at the numbers. Once you know exactly what to do, you can go right back to being mad. First, let’s get you the help you deserve and the peace of mind you’re after.

In Their Words
What people say after the workshop.
I went to one of the seminars and he did exactly what he said he would at the seminar. No pushing or hard sell and I appreciate that beyond measure.
Barbara S.
I was skeptical after attending the public Medicare seminar. But I was very comfortable and it truly made this process easy. Never felt intimidated. Highly recommend.
Henrietta S.
Marc is a great communicator. Makes all the information easy to understand and walks through the program step by step. Zero pressure! So glad we attended the seminar to start our journey down the Medicare pathway with Marc!
Richard M.
I feel very fortunate to have found Marc. After attending one of his Medicare workshops, we readily scheduled an appointment with him to review our Medicare options. Marc is very professional and knowledgeable.

Questions
Frequently asked
What does it cost?
Nothing. It costs nothing to attend, parking costs nothing, and there is nothing to buy.
Are you going to sell me something?
No, and we couldn’t if we wanted to. Medicare’s rules don’t allow selling at an educational event, and there is nothing for sale in the room.
Will someone call me afterward?
Only if you ask us to. Registering for a seat doesn’t put you on a call list.
Do I need to bring anything?
Nothing at all. We’ll provide a way for you to take notes.
What if I already work with an advisor?
Come anyway. If your advisor has you in good shape, you’ll leave knowing that for certain.
How long is it?
About 60 minutes, with time for questions afterward.
Which session should I pick?
Whichever is closer or easier. Morning in Glendale, afternoon in Scottsdale: same workshop, same material, no cost for either. The Glendale session has tables, which makes taking notes extra easy.
What if both fill up?
Get on the list anyway. If we fill both rooms, we’ll add another date rather than turn people away.
Can I bring my spouse or a friend?
Please do. Just register each person so we can hold the seats.
We’ll see you there.
