Why Independent Medicare Agents Offer More Than Just Plan Options

June 9, 2025

Choosing the right Medicare plan can feel overwhelming — and it’s not just about picking a name-brand provider or choosing the lowest premium. It’s about finding a plan that fits your health needs, lifestyle, and budget.

That’s where Medicare independent agents come in — especially local ones like Infinity Health Consultancy Agency, serving Riverside, Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura counties. We do more than offer options. We guide you through one of the most important healthcare decisions you’ll make as you turn 65 and beyond.

In this blog, we’ll break down why working with an independent agent makes a real difference, how we support you throughout your Medicare journey, and why local, unbiased advice matters more than ever.

Captive vs. Independent Medicare Agents: What’s the Difference?

If you’ve looked into Medicare coverage, you may have come across two types of agents:

✅ Captive Agents

  • Represent only one insurance company
  • Can only offer you plans from that single carrier
  • May prioritize quotas or specific plan sales

✅ Independent Agents

  • Work with multiple insurance companies
  • Provide a broader view of what plans are available
  • Focus on what fits you best, not what they’re limited to

At Infinity Health, we are proudly independent. That means we represent you, not any single carrier. We partner with a wide range of Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement providers across California — including SCAN, Anthem, Alignment, Blue Shield of California, UnitedHealthcare, and more — to make sure you’re truly getting the best fit.

We Compare Medicare Plans from Multiple Providers – So You Don’t Have To

Medicare isn’t one-size-fits-all. Different plans offer different:

  • Networks of doctors and hospitals
  • Prescription drug coverage (formulary)
  • Monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs
  • Extra benefits (dental, vision, transportation, OTC, etc.)

Many seniors don’t realize that plan availability varies by county, and even ZIP code. That’s why our team at Infinity Health takes the time to:

  • Understand your healthcare needs and preferred providers
  • Evaluate which plans are available in your specific area
  • Compare the benefits, costs, and restrictions side by side
  • Ensure your medications and doctors are covered

And we do all of this at no cost to you.

Support Doesn’t Stop After You Enroll

One of the biggest myths about Medicare agents is that they disappear after you enroll.

Not us.

As trusted Medicare independent agents, we provide support before, during, and after enrollment. Here’s what that looks like:

🗓️ Annual Plan Reviews

Medicare Advantage plans can change each year — including their network, drug formulary, and costs. We help you review your plan during the Annual Enrollment Period (Oct 15–Dec 7) to make sure it’s still the best fit.

🔄 Life Change Guidance

Whether you’re moving to another county, switching doctors, or developing new health needs — we’re here to help you evaluate if another plan might better serve you.

📞 Ongoing Questions and Claims Support

From provider network questions to claims or billing confusion, we’re just a call away — ready to talk you through it.

💡 “When you work with us, you’re not just enrolling in a plan — you’re gaining a lifelong healthcare partner.”

Why Local Expertise Matters

When it comes to Medicare, location is everything. Many plans are region-specific, and coverage can vary significantly from one county to the next.

At Infinity Health, we know the ins and outs of plans in:

🏥 Riverside County

🏥 Los Angeles County

🏥 Orange County

🏥 Ventura County

This local knowledge allows us to recommend plans that are not just good — but a great fit for your local hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies.
