"William was absolutely wonderful — very professional. Straightforward gave me a better Medicare policy than I have had for the last six years. Dropped my policy with a new company, same coverage, for quite a bit less!"

Medicare Broker Apollo Beach — FAQ
How do I find a Medicare broker in Apollo Beach?
Call William Gray at (386) 871-3858 or use the contact form. He serves all of Apollo Beach and Hillsborough County at no cost to you.
What is the difference between a Medicare broker and a Medicare agent?
In practice, both terms describe someone who helps you choose Medicare plans. The key distinction is independence — an independent broker or agent represents multiple carriers, while a captive agent represents only one.
How does a Medicare broker get paid?
Medicare brokers are paid by the insurance carriers, not by you. The commission is the same regardless of which plan you choose, so there's no financial incentive to steer you toward a specific plan.
Can a Medicare broker help me switch plans?
Yes. During the Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 – December 7), William can compare your current plan against all available alternatives and help you switch if a better option exists.
Does William serve all of Hillsborough County?
Yes. William serves all cities and communities in Hillsborough County, including Apollo Beach and surrounding areas.
