Medicare Plans for Clarkdale, AZ Retirees

Clarkdale grew up as a company town for the old United Verde copper smelter and today is a quiet Verde Valley suburb next to Cottonwood, home to the Verde Canyon Railroad and Yavapai College's Verde Valley campus. With no hospital of its own, Clarkdale residents rely on Verde Valley Medical Center a few miles away in Cottonwood -- we check that connection, along with your prescriptions and preferred doctors, before you choose a plan.

“I needed information and advice for both myself and my mother on how to assess our medical insurance and its rising costs. I got both questions fully answered and used their advice to change our providers with lower costs and comparable coverages. It was easy to understand and process. I'm so thankful I contacted Mr. Scallion and I highly recommend his service.”

“I contacted Dave Scallion about applying for Medicare after being referred to him by a friend. That turned out to be an excellent referral. Dave helped me understand Medicare Part B, C, and D, plus the various supplement plans, and presented me with scenarios that projected monthly and annual costs. He was patient answering all my questions and even assisted with some of the application process.”
