The Big 65 New York
Your New York State Independent Medicare Insurance Broker
Thank you for visiting The Big 65 New York website. My name is Karl Bruns-Kyler. I’m an independent New York State licensed Medicare insurance broker and licensed Medicare insurance agent with no affiliation to Medicare or the state of New York.
For over 20 years I’ve been helping Medicare beneficiaries. During that time I’ve seen many changes in Medicare. However, one thing hasn’t changed …
MEDICARE IS COMPLICATED !
My role as your independent New York Medicare insurance broker, is to un-complicate Medicare by doing the following:
#1: HELP you identify the appropriate Medicare coverage plan for you.
#2: FIND the appropriate Medicare option for you with the lowest costs.
#3: PROVIDE you with concierge level service each and every year to make sure your current Medicare Plan is meeting your ongoing healthcare needs.
#4: KEEP you abreast of changes in Medicare and the overall landscape of healthcare for people 65 years of age and older and those younger than 65 on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
THERE IS NEVER A CHARGE FOR MY SERVICES. (That means your insurance premium is the same whether you work with me or work directly with the insurance company. The benefit you receive is independent expertise.)
Again, thank you for visiting my website. It would be my privilege to help you with your Medicare insurance.
