Local. Clear. Medicare focused.
Latest Intelligence
In-depth Medicare education for Arizona seniors, backed by local agent support when you need help reviewing coverage.
D-SNP Plans
If you have both Medicare and Medicaid, you may qualify for a Dual Special Needs Plan — a Medicare Advantage plan with extra benefits like $0 premiums, dental, vision, grocery cards, and more. Here's what every Arizona resident should know.
Benefits
Some Arizona Medicare Advantage plans load a prepaid card monthly for groceries. We break down which plans offer it and how much you can get.
Enrollment
The enrollment window is smaller than you think — and missing it can mean permanent penalties. Everything Arizona residents need to know before their 65th birthday.
Social Security
Exact dates, the birthday-based Wednesday schedule, what to do when a payment is late, and the 2026 COLA update — all in one place.
Plan Guide
Plan availability in Arizona varies dramatically by county. Whether you're in Maricopa, Pima, Yavapai, or a rural county — here's what to expect.
Our Promise
We publish practical Medicare education and connect readers who want help with a licensed Arizona insurance agent.
Medicare isn't one-size-fits-all. Plan availability, county rules, and local carriers differ across Arizona. We cover what matters specifically to AZ residents.
When you want help, you can call or request a review from John Sheahan, a licensed Arizona insurance agent authorized to discuss UnitedHealthcare Medicare plan options.
