Your Medicare, Simplified. · Independent. Honest. Ongoing.
“Medicare shouldn't be confusing or overwhelming. I explain your options so they actually make sense, and help you choose coverage that fits your life, not whatever pays the most.”
About Brian Maiz
Someone who stays
long after you're enrolled.
I'm a Southern California native and U.S. Marine Corps veteran who served in Iwakuni, Japan, and Cherry Point, North Carolina. After my military service, I raised my family in North Carolina before returning home to Oceanside, where I've lived for more than a decade.
For more than 20 years at Cisco Systems, I built my career by listening first, solving problems, and making complex information easy to understand. That's the same philosophy I bring to Medicare.
I believe choosing a Medicare plan shouldn't feel like a sales pitch. My job is to explain your options clearly, answer your questions honestly, and help you make the decision that's right for you, even if that means recommending a plan that pays no commission.
My relationship with clients doesn't end after enrollment. Every year, I review coverage during Medicare's Annual Enrollment Period, help resolve billing and claims issues, and make sure my clients always have someone they know and trust to call. When you call, you'll speak with me, not a call center.
My goal is simple: to earn your trust, not just your business.
Every Medicare situation
is a little different.
Whether you're enrolling for the first time or reviewing coverage you already have, I compare the carriers available to you so you know exactly what you're getting, and why.
Most brokers disappear
after enrollment.
I don't.
I carry no quota with any carrier I work with. My only loyalty is finding what actually fits you, not what's easiest to sell.
Medicare comes with its own vocabulary. I explain every term as we go, so you leave each conversation knowing exactly what you signed up for and why.
An Annual Enrollment question in October, a billing issue in February, a plan change in July. I pick up, and I know who you are when you call.
If the coverage you already have is still your best fit, I'll tell you. A review doesn't automatically mean you need to change plans.
Getting clear on your Medicare
in three simple steps.
Tell me about your health, your doctors, your prescriptions, and your budget. I listen before I suggest anything. Most first calls take about 20 minutes.
I compare the carriers available in your area and come back with a clear breakdown in everyday language. No homework required on your end.
You pick the plan that fits, on your own timeline. I handle the paperwork, then stay on for the long term: annual reviews, billing questions, and plan changes whenever life shifts.
Medicare runs on deadlines.
Here's when they matter.
Unlike most insurance, you can't sign up whenever you feel like it. Four windows govern nearly every Medicare decision, and missing the wrong one can mean a permanent penalty or a coverage gap.
SEP windows are strict and easy to miss. If a qualifying life event just happened to you, reach out right away. Waiting even a few weeks can mean losing the window entirely.
The conversations
that matter most.
Real feedback from clients navigating Medicare for the first time and those reviewing plans they've had for years.
“Brian took something I was completely lost on and made it feel manageable. He walked me through every option without any pressure.”
“Brian was incredibly patient with both of us. He called back when he said he would and followed up three weeks after enrollment just to check in.”
“Brian reviews my plan with me every single fall. Last year we found a better fit and saved real money on my prescriptions.”
Medicare questions deserve real answers.
If yours isn't here, reach out. Every situation is a little different, and I'm happy to talk it through.
Ask a QuestionNothing. My services are completely free to you. Carriers compensate me directly, and the cost to you is the same whether you enroll through me or on your own.
I'm independent, but I don't represent every plan available in every area. I'll compare the plans I'm appointed to offer and explain how they fit your needs. You can also review all available options at Medicare.gov or by calling 1-800-MEDICARE.
About three months before you turn 65, during your Initial Enrollment Period. If you're already enrolled, the fall Annual Enrollment Period is the time to review.
I'll review it with you at no cost. Plans change every year, so we'll make sure your doctors, prescriptions, costs, and coverage still line up with what you need. If your current plan is still the right fit, there's no reason to change it.
Yes. You'll have my direct line, and when you call, you'll speak with me, not a call center, for as long as you're a client.
