A typical plan review runs about that long. Doctors checked, drugs priced, no pressure to sign anything.
Real conversations
In their own words
Shown with a first name, last initial and hometown, and always with the client's OK.
Turning 65
My birthday was six weeks out and I hadn't touched the paperwork. One phone call sorted my Part B start date and had a plan locked in before the deadline hit.
Doctor networks
My whole worry was keeping my heart doctor at Mount Carmel East. They pulled up the network before I signed anything and told me straight which plan kept that relationship.
Prescription costs
Instead of quoting me a premium and calling it done, they ran all five of my prescriptions through the actual formularies. My yearly total went down and I kept my Clintonville pharmacy.
Sample copy for now: these quotes were written during the build, not collected from clients. Swap in real, verbatim reviews with links to the public profile, or cut this section, before this page goes live.
Three quick checks that actually matter
These are the three questions that decide your plan, not whichever mailer landed in your box.
Find your Medicare enrollment period
Enter your date of birth. We'll show your Initial Enrollment Period, the month to apply, and when coverage could begin.
See if my doctor is covered
Give us the doctor or clinic you're not willing to give up. We run it against the plans available in your ZIP code and calls back with a real answer, usually that same day or the next. No auto-generated result, just a person checking it.
Get your real drug cost
The premium on the flyer isn't your cost. We check your medications, tier by tier, against the formularies of the plans we sell in your area, and we call with an annual total, not just the monthly number.
Annual Enrollment runs Oct 15 to Dec 7
Networks, drug tiers, and premiums get reset every year in Columbus. A free review takes about 15 minutes to check yours.

Your Initial Enrollment Period opens three months ahead of your birthday month. Miss it, and you could carry a Part B penalty for good.

Medicare plans in Columbus, OH, laid out plainly
We aren't tied to one insurance company. We put every option we're appointed to sell on the table, walk through the trade-offs, and let your own numbers make the call.
Medicare Supplement (Medigap)
Steady, predictable costs and the freedom to see any provider that takes Medicare, including OhioHealth and OSU Wexner Medical Center.
Part D Prescription Drug Plans
Your exact medication list gets checked against the drug lists we have access to, so you see the real yearly cost, not just a sticker premium.
Already enrolled somewhere?
We'll give you a second opinion on the plan you have now. If it's already the strongest option we can offer, we'll tell you and move on.
Final Expense & Life
Straightforward whole-life coverage so your family isn't left covering funeral bills. Some options skip the medical exam entirely.
Turning 65 soon
Your seven-month Initial Enrollment window, your one guaranteed shot at Medigap, and what changes if you're still on the job.
Why work with a Columbus Medicare agent
Ask who picks up the phone three years from now.
Columbus Senior Insurance is a small, local shop. You won't get passed along to a script reader working out of another state.
Call us: 614-660-8641- 01
You keep the same contact every year
No call center rotation. The agent who sets up your enrollment is the same one who picks up when a claim looks off in January.
- 02
Doctors and prescriptions get checked first
We run your providers and your medication list against the plans we're appointed to sell before we recommend anything. That's the step most Columbus seniors skip and later regret.
- 03
Our help doesn't cost you anything
The carriers we work with pay us. You pay the same premium either way, whether you use us or not.
- 04
We're actually in Columbus
Home visits across Franklin County, or a phone or video call if that fits your schedule better.
Side by side
Us or 1-800-MEDICARE: who should you call first?
Both have a place, and they solve different problems. 1-800-MEDICARE and Medicare.gov cover every plan sold near you. We represent a shorter list of carriers, but we do the hands-on work of matching your doctors, medications and budget to one of them.
| Working with Columbus Senior Insurance | 1-800-MEDICARE / Medicare.gov |
|---|---|
| A single local advisor whose number you can call again next year | A general helpline where you may talk to someone new each time |
| Checks your actual doctors and prescriptions before suggesting a plan | Gives general Medicare information and can pull up plan details |
| Same contact after you enroll, including when you file a claim | Whoever answers the phone that day handles your question |
| Compares the carriers we're appointed with in your ZIP code | Can describe every plan sold in your area |
| Meets in person, at home or by phone anywhere in Franklin County | Mostly phone support, backed by Medicare.gov's self-service tools |
We don't sell every plan available where you live. For the full list of options, reach out to Medicare.gov, 1-800-MEDICARE, or the Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP).
How it works
Getting Medicare sorted out in four steps
- 01
A short call to start
Call us or fill out the quick form. We'll ask about your doctors, medications, budget, and anything that went wrong with your last plan.
- 02
Plans compared side by side
We price the options available to us in your Columbus ZIP code and hand you a one-page sheet that actually makes sense.
- 03
We enroll you together
We fill out the paperwork with you in person, by phone, or online. Most of the time it takes under 30 minutes.
- 04
A checkup every fall
Plans reshuffle every October. We recheck your numbers each year and only recommend a change when the math backs it up.
Central Ohio
A Columbus Medicare agent who knows the local networks
Medicare networks vary block by block. A plan that works fine in another state can fall apart here if your cardiologist at OhioHealth Riverside Methodist or OSU Wexner Medical Center isn't contracted. We match the networks we're appointed to sell against your own provider list before we suggest anything.
We meet clients across Columbus, Westerville, Dublin, Worthington, Upper Arlington, and the towns around them, and we're on the ground every October and November for Annual Enrollment.
No pressure to switch
Ready to talk it through?
Most reviews wrap up in one call. If your current plan already beats anything else we could offer, we'll say so and leave it be.

Straight answers
Common questions about Medicare in Columbus, OH
- When can I enroll in Medicare in Columbus, OH?
- Your Initial Enrollment Period covers the three months before and after the month you turn 65. Annual Enrollment falls every October 15 through December 7. If you move, retire, or lose employer coverage, a Special Enrollment Period usually opens up too.
- Does it cost anything to work with your agency?
- No. The carriers pay Columbus Senior Insurance directly. Your monthly premium stays the same whether you sign up through us or go straight to a carrier yourself.
- Medicare Advantage or a Medicare Supplement, which one fits me?
- That comes down to your doctors, how often you travel, your prescriptions, and your budget. We price both sides using the carriers we're appointed with, then walk you through your specific numbers before you decide.
- Can you check whether my doctor is in network?
- Yes. Before we suggest any plan, we run your provider list, including physicians at OSU Wexner Medical Center, OhioHealth Riverside Methodist, and Mount Carmel, against the networks available to us. We also check your medications against each plan's drug list.
- Do you meet with clients in person?
- We handle home visits across Columbus, Dublin, Westerville, Worthington, Upper Arlington, and nearby towns. If a phone call works better for your schedule, we're glad to do that instead.
