Local Medicare Help in Pierce County — I Come to You
If you're looking for a Medicare broker in Pierce County who actually knows the area, you've found one. I'm Charles, an independent Medicare agent serving Tacoma, Puyallup, Gig Harbor, and communities throughout the county — and I meet clients at their homes, at coffee shops, or wherever is most convenient for them.
I served my community at local food banks for 10 years. The seniors I help aren't a sales pipeline — they're my neighbors.
Not a Call Center. A Neighbor Who Knows Pierce County.
Most Medicare help you'll find online comes from national call centers staffed by agents who've never set foot in your zip code. I live and work in this region. I've spent years doing community service at local food banks, and the relationships I've built here aren't a marketing angle — they're how I do business. When you call me, you reach me.

Serving Tacoma, Puyallup, Gig Harbor, and Beyond
Pierce County covers a lot of ground, and I meet clients throughout it. Whether you're in Tacoma near the waterfront, out in Puyallup, or across the Narrows in Gig Harbor, I'll find a time and a place that works for you. There are no waiting rooms here, and you won't be put on hold.

Why Pierce County Seniors Choose an Independent Agent
A captive agent can only offer plans from the company they represent. As an independent broker, my job is to compare across carriers — not to steer you toward a particular plan because it pays a higher commission.
That independence matters when you're comparing Medicare Advantage vs. Medicare Supplement coverage, evaluating whether to switch plans during the Annual Enrollment Period, or trying to understand whether a low-income assistance program applies to your situation.
Medicare Part A

Medicare Plans
Whether you're turning 65, reviewing your current plan during Annual Enrollment Period, or trying to figure out whether Medicare Advantage or a Medicare Supplement plan is the better fit, I can help you compare your options clearly.
Medicare Advantage
Medicare Advantage (Part C) bundles your hospital, medical, and often prescription drug coverage into a single plan. Several carriers offer Medicare Advantage in Pierce County, and the right choice depends on your doctors, your prescriptions, and how much predictability you want in your out-of-pocket costs.

Medicare Supplement (Medigap)
A Medicare Supplement plan works alongside Original Medicare to cover costs like deductibles and coinsurance that Medicare leaves unpaid. If you want predictable costs and freedom to see any Medicare-accepting provider, this is worth a close look.
Part D Prescription Drug Plans
If your prescriptions are a significant part of your monthly budget, Part D plan selection deserves real attention. Send me your current prescription list and I'll run a comparison of plans available in your zip code.

The right plan depends on your specific doctors, medications, and health priorities.
