By Alyssa McGovern, AAA Medicare Manager

AAA has been a trusted name for over 120 years. Now, that same reliability extends to Medicare. With AAA as your Medicare broker, you get guidance you can count on — without the pressure. If you’re turning 65, nearing retirement, or helping a loved one make Medicare decisions, having expert support matters. AAA Medicare works for you, not the insurance companies. With access to over 70 plans from 10 trusted carriers, we focus on what’s best for you, not what benefits the insurers.

Medicare That Fits Your Life.

Medicare isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your health needs, budget, and lifestyle all play a role in finding the right plan. That’s why our licensed advisors take the time to understand your priorities, review your options, and explain how plan changes may affect your coverage and costs — so you can feel confident in your decisions.

Debbie Howell’s Story: “AAA saved us thousands.”

Debbie Howell, 69, was overwhelmed when her husband Gary’s health rapidly declined. With Gary battling multiple conditions, Debbie retired to care for him full time. “He’s on about 25 medications,” she said. “I didn’t know how to navigate insurance on top of everything else.” After seeing an ad, Debbie contacted AAA Medicare and was connected with Sam Bacher, an Insurance Advisor who quickly got to work. “Last year, we spent nearly $29,000 on health care. Now it’s about $10,000,” Debbie said. “Sam found us a better plan and helped us save over $1,000 on prescriptions alone.” But what impressed Debbie most was the personal touch. “Sam calls to check in, and I always feel comfortable reaching out with questions. I 100% recommend AAA — it’s detailed, supportive, and personal.”

Laurie Hurd’s Experience: “They really care.”

When Laurie Hurd turned 65, she thought she had her Medicare plan handled. But a call from AAA advisor David Kamholz opened her eyes. “I’d already set up an appointment elsewhere, but David explained that AAA offers guidance for free.” She was struck by David’s honest, no-pressure approach. “He clearly explained everything, and even reviewed my husband’s coverage. He told us my husband already had the best plan — and that we should keep it. That’s when I knew AAA really puts clients first.” Laurie’s advice? “Call AAA. I’ve told all my friends. It’s the best decision I made.”
