As I was turning 65, I became more and more nervous and overwhelmed when it came to making a decision about Medicare. I was referred to Mataya Yoakam, an experienced broker, who immediately put my fears to rest. She explained the different programs available to me and what they offered. It was such a relief to have her guide me through this process. Mataya was so patient with all my questions and in no time we found the perfect option for me. I don’t know how I would have navigated through all the information without her help.

I met and worked with Mataya Yoakam late last year to change my medicare insurance to a new carrier. She listened to my needs and recommended the new company which improved my coverage. I'm fortunate to have met her when I did because I've had more medical appointments this year than ever which has saved me quite a bit of out of pocket. The only issue I had was the company has been slow getting paperwork out but she has constantly followed up to ensure I have everything I need.
