A Medicare Supplement (Medigap) insurance, sold by private companies, can help pay some of the health care costs that Original Medicare doesn't cover, like copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles.
Medicare Part D is the federal government's prescription drug program that covers both brand-name and generic prescription drugs at participating pharmacies in your area.

Tammie at Savvy Senior Strategies has taken excellent care of our aging father. She's been wonderful and easy to work with - responsive, professional, informative, and I don't know how we would have navigated the process of getting our dad into an appropriate care facility and managing that entire process without her.

Tammie is terrific! I have a rare and life-threatening heart and lung disease, so my insurance needs are very specific and complicated. Tammie understood all of it, and set me up with the best plans that would meet my medical needs.

Hi Tammie,
Warren and I want to thank you for all you did to help us find a new plan for 2023. You always go above and beyond to help all your clients and us. It’s so reassuring to have someone like you that cares. It was so nice to spend some time with you. Next year we can do a zoom meeting. It will be good for Warren to learn something new.
Thanks again Tammie!

Tammie, thank you for the many years you have provided Carmen and I with excellent service and advice. We are still using the Medicare and AARP Supplemental plans you originally recommended. These plans have served us well. Also want to thank you for your staying in touch with us and keeping us informed about changes that might affect us. Again we are so pleased to have you as our advisor in this very important time in our lives. Bless, Cary and Carmen

Years ago I heard a good definition of what a salesperson does. Their job should be to provide the customer with the information necessary to make their best buying decision. I thought about that today as we met with our friend Tammie Rutledge to discuss changes in my healthcare when I turn 65 in Feb. We know Phil and Tammie from church, and they are former daycare parents as well.
We have received numerous mailings and phone calls in the past few weeks from folks anxious to "help" with that process. Tammie took the time to go over our existing plan and what should and should not change moving forward. We highly recommend Tammie, and would encourage anyone facing this decision, or who know a friend who needs help in this area to contact her as well.
We learned a lot today, and are very grateful and thankful for Tammie's help!

I do want to thank you so much for all the time you spend helping Mike and myself with our policies. He's very happy with the new policy you found for him, and the $402 a month premium we'll save by not using Blue Cross Blue Shield will be put in a medical/emergency fund with a little set aside for something special for dinner once a month.
