Pierre Menard, Independent Medicare Insurance Broker

Pierre Menard is an independent insurance broker specializing in Medicare coverage for seniors in Nassau and Suffolk counties. His background spans about 20 years in insurance, moving from life insurance to Medicaid and then to Medicare, which gives him a working knowledge of how the two programs differ and where they overlap.

He helps clients understand Medicare Parts A through D, weigh Medicare Advantage plans against supplement plans, and match a plan to their current doctors and medications. He pays close attention to enrollment timing, including avoiding the Part D late-enrollment penalty and unnecessary Part B premiums, and explains the eligibility paths for Medicare and for Medicaid. He also covers plan extras such as over-the-counter benefit cards and teaches clients the warning signs of Medicare scams. Consultations are arranged by phone.
