Independent Medicare help for Anthem residents — Medicare Advantage, Supplement, Part D and long-term care planning, from an advisor who lives here.
Anthem sits at the north end of Maricopa County along I-17, split between the Country Club side and Parkside.
A large share of the community is at or approaching Medicare age, and Anthem Community Park is where most of my referrals start as a conversation.
Most Anthem residents drive down to Deer Valley or north Phoenix for specialists, which makes provider networks the deciding factor in almost every plan comparison here.
ZIP 85086 covers both Anthem and a good portion of the surrounding desert, so plan availability can differ from what neighbors a few miles south are offered.

Yes. This is home base — appointments here are in person whenever you want them to be. Appointments happen wherever suits you — kitchen table, library, coffee shop — and plenty of people prefer to do the whole thing by phone or video instead. Either way the comparison work is identical.
Plan availability in Medicare is set by county, and Maricopa County has a substantial number of Advantage and Part D plans to choose between. I deliberately do not publish plan counts, names or premiums on this site — they change every plan year and a stale number is worse than no number. What I will do is pull the current list for your ZIP while we are talking.
Nothing, at any point. Carriers pay a set commission to licensed agents and it is identical whether you enroll through me, through a call centre or directly. Your premium is the same either way — the only difference is whether somebody local checks your doctors and prescriptions first.
Usually. Networks, formularies and premiums all reset every January, and the most expensive mistake I see in Maricopa County is a plan that fit perfectly three years ago and quietly stopped fitting. A review takes about twenty minutes and costs nothing.
