We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you fill out a contact form, request a consultation, call our office, or otherwise interact with our website. This information may include your name, phone number, email address, zip code, date of birth, Medicare number, and information about your current health coverage.

We also automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our site, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages viewed.

3. Medicare and HIPAA Compliance

As a licensed Medicare insurance agency, we handle health-related information with care. While we are not a covered entity under HIPAA in all circumstances, we treat all health information you share with us as confidential and use it only for the purpose of helping you select and enroll in a Medicare plan.

We are licensed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and comply with all applicable CMS marketing and privacy guidelines. We do not share your Medicare number or health information with unauthorized parties.
