Policyholder Review №5

My wife and I met with Mr Bauer recently. We have Medicare for a few years. We just wanted to see if we could get a better plan. We visited Mr. Bauer, based on very high recommendations from our friends who have him as their agent.
Mr. Bauer reviewed our plan including premiums and advised us Not to change it as it will be very difficult to get a better one.
He had our interest in mind, not his. He also gave us some tips on our Drug plan which will save us a few $.Highly recommended

My wife and I met with Mike Bauer this afternoon (10/29/2024) for a scheduled annual review on our Medicare Supplemental Insurance and Prescription Drug Plans. Mike is an extremely kind, patient and professional individual who represents his client base and organization extremely well. During our review, he took the time to present and explain the overall background of our focused plans and all aspects of any planned or implemented changes. He presented the pros and cons of our plans and potential alternatives considering costs and levels of effective coverage. Overall we were very satisfied with the review and timeliness of the review.

I agreed with the reviews here. Mike is very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. He spent A LOT of time helping me search for the best Medicare Advantage plans that fit my parents' needs.

Policyholder Review №62

Mike Bauer was a great help finding a health plan that best fit my healthcare needs and my fixed income. There are So many plans to review and it’s all very confusing especially for someone who has little computer knowledge. Mike, sat down with me face to face and very patiently explained and compared what I had to what I could receive. I don’t feel safe with over the phone business because it’s confusing and hard to keep track of all the information, but Mike brought books and things I could see and compare. He instructed me to first contact my doctor about medications that needed to be covered or possibly substituted under specific plans to make sure I could still get all of my right medicines. I was nervous about changing things but his patience and guidance helped me feel safe to switch to a plan where I can get the same quality care at a savings as well as dental and eye care. I’m glad to know there are still people out there who do their job to make money without trying to get over or mislead someone who needs help. I highly recommend him and grateful someone told me to contact him.

My sincere appreciation for Mike’s dedication in helping me compare and locate Medicare Insurance options. My recently being diagnosed with cancer has been overwhelming at my age of 70. Mike gave me the comfort and assurance that he would work to locate the best plan possible for me with my medical and financial concerns. Having a very limited time of a few days before my first oncology appointment and the need for good medical coverage, Mike’s compassion and professionalism with expertise was able to put me at ease and satisfied my needs. Thus assisting me in changing to AARP United Healthcare Advantage Plan HMO. I would highly recommend Mike Bauer to anyone in need, as I am confident that you too will find comfort and satisfaction knowing Mike has your best interest at heart!

I have worked with Mike Bauer since July, 2020. He helped me to get started on Medicare. I had about 3 days to first get enrolled. I have medical conditions with expensive prescriptions. This was not a problem. He succeeded. I was amazed. Now in October, 2020 he has found me a better plan for next years coverage. I am so thankful for him.

Policyholder Review №84

I retired recently and applied for Medicare. I found that Medicare would pay 80% of my medical bills and I would need to get a supplemental insurance to pay the other 20%. I asked around and was told to call Mike Bauer. I called Mike and he came to my house and spent about two hours showing me several Supplemental Plans and answered all my questions. In applying for the Supplemental Insurance a few more questions arose and in calling Mike he immediately got all questions resolved. I give Mike Bauer an A+ as an Insurance Consultant.
