Friendly, Local Guidance from a Texas-Based Agent
Sorting through Medicare can feel like a maze, but it doesn’t have to. Whether you’re preparing to enroll or just want to explore better coverage, McShannon Insurance is here to simplify every step.
Though we’re based in Greenville, we regularly work with folks right here in Dallas. People turn to us when they’re overwhelmed by choices, unsure about coverage, or simply want someone they can trust to walk them through it all. From Supplement plans to Medicare Advantage and prescription drug coverage, we’re committed to making the process easier for you.
You’ll work directly with a knowledgeable, licensed advisor. No bouncing around between departments. No hours on hold. Just honest, responsive help from someone who knows what they’re doing, and truly cares about getting you set up right.
Original Medicare leaves some gaps. We’ll show you how Supplement plans can help cover what Medicare doesn’t, like copays and deductibles. Our job is to walk you through the differences, compare your options side by side, and help you pick a plan that matches your needs and budget.
Want more from your coverage? Many Advantage plans offer extras like dental, vision, gym memberships, and more. We explain how these plans work, which ones are available in Dallas, and what to look out for so you’re never caught off guard by limitations or fine print.
Prescription Drug Plans (Part D)
Medication costs can add up quickly. That’s why we help you choose a Part D plan that actually fits your prescriptions. We’ll show you which plans cover your current meds, what pharmacies are included, and how to avoid surprises at the pharmacy counter.
Medicare Enrollment Assistance
Turning 65? Retiring soon? Missed an enrollment window? We’re here to help you get started without the stress. From filling out forms to understanding deadlines, we guide you through the process and make sure you’re on the right track, whether it’s your first enrollment or you’re switching plans.

“Call Eric McShannon if you find yourself like me having to navigate the Medicare Insurance system for your elderly parent. I was so lost trying to add a prescription plan to my mom’s medicare insurance. I received letters from her Insurance company about LEP and the social security administration saying her bendits were reduced because she had a give back plan before I changed it. Eric was so knowledgeable. He explained what was happening. He showed me the plans available in my area and went through them with me so I could decide if I had chosen the right plan for my mom. Eric knows what he is talking about. He will even travel to you for an in person meeting. If dealing with health insurance is overwhelming, confusing, and stressful to you, this is the person to call.” – Addie Crenshaw
“I live in Oklahoma and became eligible for Medicare 1/1/2025.
I had called the Oklahoma SHIP Program and the woman there had an overview of the Medicare/ Medicaid/ Medicare Supplements/ Medigap and Medicare Advantage Programs but was not very informative. I called Eric and he explained it all to me and answered all my questions. He got me signed up and now I am covered! He sure knows his stuff! I would highly recommend him!” – Stephanie Homsey
“Eric is the best! He helped me with getting health insurance & was able to get me a great plan to best fit my needs. I appreciate all his help, I’d recommend him to anyone looking into health insurance. He’s great at answering all your questions about your plans. This is my second time using this agent & I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Eric!” – Morgan
Choosing a Medicare agent in Dallas, TX is a big decision, especially when the wrong one could cost you time and money. We do things a little differently at McShannon Insurance, and our clients notice the difference right away.
We take the time to learn about your situation, goals, and preferences before making any recommendations.
We’re approved to work with clients anywhere in the state, so no matter where you’re located, you’ll have access to a full range of options.

You can reach us before, during, and after enrollment. We’re not disappearing once you sign on the dotted line.
We skip the technical jargon and get straight to the point so you actually understand what you’re choosing.
Whether you’re just getting started or you’ve had Medicare for years, we’ll make sure you feel confident about your plan.
Trying to tackle Medicare on your own? You’re not alone, but that approach often comes with unnecessary risks. Here’s why handling it yourself can cause more trouble than it solves:
Small Details Matter: Enrollment rules, penalties, and benefit limits are full of details that are easy to miss. One overlooked form or missed deadline can cost you in higher premiums or gaps in coverage.
You Might Miss Out on Better Plans: There are dozens of plans out there, but most people only hear about the ones advertised on TV. Without help from someone who knows the local market, you could end up in a plan that’s not the best fit for your health or finances.
Online Info Doesn’t Always Apply: Just because something worked for a friend, or was recommended in an article, doesn’t mean it fits your needs. Every person’s health, prescriptions, and priorities are different.
Fixing Mistakes Can Take Months: If you enroll in the wrong plan, it’s not always easy to switch. Some mistakes mean waiting until the next open enrollment window, which could be months away.
Free Help Is Available: There’s no need to figure it all out alone. With a local expert like McShannon Insurance, you’ll get guidance, peace of mind, and ongoing support, at zero cost to you.
With so many agents out there, it helps to know what to look for. Here’s how to make sure you’re working with someone who actually has your best interests in mind:
Confirm Licensing: Your agent should be licensed to sell Medicare plans in Texas and certified with multiple carriers. This shows they’re qualified and flexible enough to offer you choices.
Check Online Reviews and Reputation: Look for consistent 5-star reviews and real feedback from clients. Agents who’ve earned trust usually have a long track record to show for it.
Ask About Their Carriers: Some agents only sell plans from one or two companies. That limits your options. A good agent should be able to compare many plans so you get the one that fits you best.
Look for Long-Term Support: You want someone who is available even after enrollment. If your plan changes or your health needs shift, your agent should be there to help.
Clear and Friendly Communication: Your agent should explain your options in simple language and never pressure you to choose something you’re unsure about.
At McShannon Insurance, we’re proud to check every one of these boxes, and we’re ready to help you too.
