“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.”

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.”

Est. Plan G (age 65): Sample average: about $132.29/mo for a female age 65, non-tobacco, based on sample quotes from ZIP 18015 and ZIP 18091. Your price may vary by ZIP code, age, tobacco status, gender where applicable, carrier, underwriting, and household discount.
Est. Plan N (age 65): Sample average: about $96.77/mo for a female age 65, non-tobacco, based on sample quotes from ZIP 18015 and ZIP 18091. Your price may vary by ZIP code, age, tobacco status, gender where applicable, carrier, underwriting, and household discount.
Pennsylvania bans excess charges, which means Plan N covers the same services as Plan G in PA — but Plan N has copays for office visits. We compare both so you choose based on your actual usage.
Part D plans vary by formulary, preferred pharmacy, deductibles, and copays. The right plan depends on your medications and pharmacies in Walnutport.
