Our commitment to service and educate our clients is our #1 goal each and every day. At Emerald Medicare, each person that reaches out to us has their own unique circumstance and story. What works for one person in a household, may not work for another. Doctor’s, medications and health may vary. We listen and ask necessary questions to consider each of our client’s complete health and budget picture. We take into consideration individual needs and health care planning and expectations. We collaboratively discuss the best plan for them for each year and continue to service them as their health needs and budget changes.

Mark will meet with you individually in either one of our Rockland County offices, (Nyack or Stony Point) at your home or by phone. Mark and his team will carefully review your doctors to discern which insurance carriers and plans accept those doctors and facilities you prefer or use often.

When you have decided which plan(s) to apply for we help you complete the application, submit and monitor its progress to the respective insurance carriers and ensure that everything is moving along and taken care of in a timely fashion. We are with you every step of the Medicare way and continue will be there to support you for many years to come.
