May River Medicare Insurance News & Media Center
This is your hub for Medicare education, media coverage, technology updates, and expert commentary from May River Medicare Insurance. We track what is changing in Medicare across the United States and translate it into clear, practical guidance you can actually use.
Independent Medicare Guidance Nationwide
May River Medicare Insurance is an independent Medicare agency based in Bluffton, South Carolina, serving people turning 65, already on Medicare, and family members helping loved ones across the United States. We work with multiple carriers instead of a single company, which means our loyalty is to you, not to a brand.
Our role is to explain complex Medicare rules in plain language, compare plans in your county and ZIP code, and help you enroll in coverage that fits your doctors, prescriptions, and budget.
Education First, Enrollment Second
Every article, video, and resource we publish is built around one principle: educate first, enroll second. We do not rush appointments, and we do not push a single type of plan.
Instead, we explain the tradeoffs between Medicare Supplement, Medicare Advantage, and Part D plans in language that makes sense. You will find practical insight here on enrollment timing, plan changes, cost trends, and how upcoming legislation may affect your options in the years ahead.
