“I think it's wise for people to research where they're going and find out what they're walking into. And with social media, it gets a bad rap, but if you look at their website and you looked at their LinkedIn pages, you can figure out very, very quickly by looking at pictures, how diverse and how gray hair friendly a place might be.”

Bill Pellegrini runs a large Medicare insurance agency in Phoenix, Arizona that works with over 300 Medicare insurance agents across twenty states. That gives him a pretty unique perspective on what kind of Medicare insurance people are buying across a large section of the country and why they’re buying it. 

This episode will give you a bit of an insider’s view into how why Bill thinks local independent Medicare insurance agents are an extremely important part of finding people personalize and individualize their Medicare insurance coverage, Medicare PPOs, Medicare Supplement (Medigap) coverage and Medicare provider networks.

“You have to shop your (Medicare) plans every single year. There are too many moving parts, not to. And there are too many dollars on the table that you could be losing by not shopping.”

Hello, and welcome to the very first episode of The Matt Feret Show!

The Matt Feret show is an on-camera, interview-format show broadcast on YouTube and various podcast outlets once every two weeks. The goal of Matt Feret Show is simple; I interview interesting people, insiders and experts to help light a path to a successful retirement. Sometimes they may be relatively well-known, but oftentimes not known at all… just regular, working professionals trying to make the world a better place by sharing their knowledge and perspective with us.

The Matt Feret Show focuses on the health, wealth and wellness of retirees, people over 55 and caregivers helping loved ones. This isn’t just your run-of-the-mill financial planning retirement show; I have meaningful conversations with experts who provide an insider’s view to wide array of topics to help people cut through the noise and navigate older-adult and retirement issues like a boss.

Welcome!
