Helping clients determine the right health insurance plan for their business or individual needs is our passion” shares
Medicare EASY!
and Health Insurance EASY! Broker and President Vicki James. “When we have clients who leave our office and tell us the process was so easy, and they feel so much better than when they walked in; we know we’ve done our job.” Vicki started Medicare EASY! in 2016 because of an entrepreneur friend who thought she would be good in the business but what really brought her in the industry was talking with her father and learning that he wasn’t receiving the advice he should from an independent Broker. As Vicki’s reputation increased, she was approached for help from retirees who weren’t eligible for Medicare yet and small businesses which propelled the launch of Health Insurance EASY! in 2017.
