Local Missouri Help
I live and work in the Missouri Ozarks. Explore local Medicare guidance for Springfield and Bucyrus and Texas County. Most appointments are by phone or video; in-person meetings require advance arrangements and are limited to special circumstances.
Appointments that fit your day
Most appointments take place by phone or video, so you can skip the drive and keep your plan documents nearby. I review your doctors, medicines, current coverage and the questions you want answered.
I’m based in the Missouri Ozarks and help residents of all 14 states listed above. In-person appointments in the Springfield or Houston/Texas County area may be arranged only when special circumstances make a phone consultation impossible.
Confirm your county and coverage
Start with your ZIP code, county and the year you need coverage. State licensing and carrier representation are different: I do not offer every insurance company or every plan, and the products I can help with vary by area.
View licenses and official lookup links. Minnesota license: 40765029. Verify through Sircon by selecting Minnesota.
What to have ready
- Your state, ZIP code and county.
- Medicare effective dates and any employer, retiree or current-plan information.
- Your doctors, hospitals, medicine list and preferred pharmacy.
- Any plan-ending notice, premium increase or Medicaid eligibility letter.
Keep identifying numbers and medical records out of the general contact form. I can explain how to share the information needed for your appointment.

Common appointment questions
Can I get help outside Missouri and Illinois?
Yes. Phone and video consultations are available in Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas. I confirm the coverage options I represent in your county.
Is there a fee for a consultation?
No. Consultations are at no cost and there is no obligation to enroll in a plan.
Do I need a video camera?
No. You can choose a phone appointment.
What if I am moving or spend time in two states?
Tell me both locations, your move date and where you receive routine care. Your permanent residence, plan service area, providers and enrollment timing all need to be considered. Contact Benjamin about your situation.
Do you have an office in every state?
No. These are licensed service areas for phone and video appointments. The state pages do not represent physical office locations.
