Medicare
Independent Medicare Broker
One licensed advisor, many carriers, zero cost to you.
A captive agent represents one insurance company and can only offer that company's plans. An independent Medicare broker is appointed with many carriers and is free to recommend whichever plan genuinely fits. That difference decides whether you get advice or a sales pitch.
Anchor Life and Health Insurance is an independent brokerage based in Middle Tennessee. We are licensed in Tennessee, certified annually with the carriers we represent, and we live in the community we serve.
Problems we hear every week
Call-center agents rotate constantly
The person who enrolled you is rarely the person who answers when a claim goes sideways.
One-carrier agents have one answer
If their company's plan is wrong for you, they still only have that plan to sell.
Nobody reviews the plan again
Coverage is set once and left alone while premiums, formularies and networks change every year.
