I recently engaged Mark Howard to help me to assess the best Medicare Plan-switch-options between three Plans I was reconsidering based on cost and future potential restrictions. Mark did a great job reviewing the overall lifecycle costs between the various plans I was considering and clarifying my misunderstandings about different Plan options and restrictions. Most importantly, Mark recommended that I strongly consider my employer's new exclusive Medicare Plan that included a special employer subsidy that he said was a great deal, even though he could not offer this exclusive Plan or a better Plan option himself.He also offered to provide future guidance if I had any other insurance-related questions and assistance in evaluating other future Plan options once my employer legacy subsidy has been expended. I highly recommend consulting Mark if you require assistance in Medicare Plan selection, changes, or switching.

I have worked with Mark the last 15 years. In that time he helped me with insurance when I owned my own business and now he has helped me with navigating Medicare. He always recommends for what is in the best interest of his clients. He offers all the options, makes recommendations but will always go with what YOU want to do. His only agenda is to do what is right by you. Thank you Mark for all of your time and assistance. You have saved me a lot of time and money.

My experience with Mark was incredible. He assisted in getting me enrolled into an Aetna Medicare Advantage plan recently and the benefits have been extremely outstanding. He made this difficult process seamless and stress free. Knowing all the options with Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement and RX aided me in choosing a remarkable plan that fits my insurance needs.I highly recommend letting Mark assist you with your Medicare needs.

I enjoyed working with Mark at Howard Medicare, he is very knowledgeable about 'all-things' Medicare, and was able to answer all my questions. Working together I believe we made a good decision, selecting traditional Medicare with a supplement and Part D drug plan. You won't regret working with Mark.

I handle all of my father's healthcare with Mark Howard. It can get very overwhelming and confusing especially when you're caring for your aging parents. I HIGHLY recommend Mark! I could not make it without him!I email or call him anytime I have a question. He responds SAME DAY and gives me the personal attention that our society is lacking these days in customer service. I feel like he's a family friend. My in-laws referred me to him years ago. I had no idea where to start and Mark met with me and personalized my dad's healthcare plan to his specific needs. I was clueless! Thank you Mark! :)If you are overwhelmed like I was and do not want to call a 1-800 number and wait...and wait....Please call Mark. You will not regret it!P.S. He even ordered my dad's FREE fit-bit that I forgot about. :))

I called Mark on the recommendation of my finance guy and he was able to meet with us the same afternoon to get me set up for my initial Medicare supplement plan and update my husband’s plan. He explained the options very thoroughly and answered my questions to clarify. And I really appreciated that he followed up with my plan application and told me what to look for online to check the progress. He was very helpful throughout the entire process and I feel he will be available if we have more questions. I’d definitely recommend Mark Howard to set up your Medicare plans.

After receiving notification that my Medicare Part D plan premium was going to more than double in 2022, I went looking for advice on other options. I found Mark Howard Medicare highly recommended on the Nextdoor app as well as on Google. I contacted him via email and he responded very quickly. We set a phone appointment to review options for my prescription plan as well as my Medicare supplement plan. I found Mark to be very knowledgeable regarding a variety of plans. He was also very personable, making our interaction very comfortable. We ended up identifying a Part D plan that not only met my needs but also reulted in substantial savings. He also recommended no change on my current supplement plan. I would highly recommend his services and will be a repeat customer should I need future assistance.

Mark Howard and his son Brian have done an excellent job of educating my wife and I regarding our options for Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage Plans, pointing out the pros and cons of each. Based on our lifestyle and existing health issues, we chose the Medicare Supplement route as our path forward. Mark works with and is familiar with all the significant companies working in the Medicare supplement insurance, but he works for us, the consumer, not the big insurance or drug companies. He helped us select the Plan G Medicare Supplement and the Plan D, Drug Supplement, that best met our needs at a fair market price. As we will soon complete our first year of Medicare coverage, we were advised to seek a review of our current coverages, particularly Part D, as those plans can go through price swings from year to year. Mark and Brian reviewed our needs and did in fact suggest changes in our Plan D coverage for next year. Not only did these gentlemen advise us of our best coverage options, they helped us through the enrollment processes step-by-step. I can't say enough good things about the service we've received from Mark and Brian Howard. They are trusted advisors who have been professional, responsive, and efficient in all our communications.

Initially, I was skeptical about changing my policy, but Mark's presentation was straight forward and backed up by his willingness to take time to be specific about the way my change would benefit me. I have had my policy for four years now, and I receive better coverage, more benefits, all with less out of pocket costs to me!

We have used Howard and Son's for all of our Medicare supplement needs for several years. We have gotten very good service and good products from them. When our needs required a Medicare supplement we got an excellent product from Howard and when our needs changed Howard set us up with a very good Advantage plan. I would recommend Howard and Son's for all of your Medicare Supplement needs.

My husband retired in 2010 and I was reviewing insurance options. I wanted to work with a local agent and found Mark Howard, in Carmel. My husband and I met with Mark and chose the plan best suited for his needs. I also discovered that my 90 year old dad was paying way to much for Medicare coverage and we transferred his plan to Mark, saving dad several hundreds of dollars in monthly premiums. I have referred many friends to Mark Howard and all of them have been very pleased.
