Reliable Coverage Guidance for Texans
Choosing a Medicare plan does not need to feel overwhelming. Whether you’re stepping into Medicare for the first time or trying to improve the coverage you already have, McShannon Insurance provides down-to-earth support to help you make confident decisions.
Although our office is based in Greenville, we proudly serve Mesquite and all areas throughout Texas. People from every background turn to us for help sorting through Medicare options, understanding benefits, and finding affordable plans that make sense for their unique needs. From Medicare Supplements to prescription drug coverage and enrollment help, we make it all easier to manage.
You will always have one point of contact. One local advisor you can count on. No impersonal call centers, no long hold times, just honest guidance and responsive support from someone who truly cares.
Supplement plans help cover costs Original Medicare does not. We break down your options, help you compare each plan, and explain where you might save on out-of-pocket expenses. Our job is to make sure you know what each plan covers and how it fits into your lifestyle.
Looking for added benefits like dental, vision, or hearing coverage? We walk through the Medicare Advantage plans available in the Mesquite area so you understand your options and what each plan does and does not include. No guessing, no glossing over the details.
Medicare Prescription Drug Plans
Part D coverage is essential when it comes to keeping prescription costs manageable. We help you compare plan formularies and identify coverage that includes the medications you rely on today, and may need tomorrow.
Turning 65 soon? Retiring and unsure what to do about Medicare? We help you handle the paperwork, avoid costly delays, and get your coverage in place with no stress. We also help with plan changes during the Annual Enrollment Period or Special Enrollment Periods if your situation changes.
Even though we’re headquartered in Greenville, McShannon Insurance supports clients all over Texas, including cities like Garland, TX, Dallas, TX, Rowlett, TX, Rockwall, TX, and beyond. We offer appointments by phone, video, or in person, whatever works best for you.

“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
We understand you have choices when it comes to Medicare agents. But most folks have experienced the same thing, agents who push plans without listening or who disappear after enrollment. That’s not how we work.
We take the time to learn what matters to you and help match you with the right coverage, not just the plan that pays the most.
We’re licensed to serve all of Texas, which means we can walk you through a wide selection of plans from trusted companies.
We are not tied to a single carrier, so the advice you get is completely based on what works best for you.
Questions do not stop after enrollment. We stick with you and provide support whenever you need it.
We believe in giving you straightforward answers, no jargon, and zero pressure.
Whether you are just starting with Medicare or thinking about switching plans, we will make sure you have the information and support you need to feel confident every step of the way.
There is no shortage of information online, and while it might seem like handling Medicare on your own is doable, it often leads to headaches and missed opportunities. Here’s why going solo can end up costing you more than you think:
It’s Easy to Miss the Fine Print: Medicare rules are full of deadlines, coverage gaps, and small details that can easily be overlooked. One missed step can mean higher premiums or less coverage when you need it most.
You Might Not Know All Your Options: Many people only hear about a few popular plans, but there are dozens available depending on where you live. Without help from someone who knows the market, you might miss out on a better plan.
Generic Advice Does Not Fit Every Situation: Articles, videos, and ads often give one-size-fits-all guidance. The truth is, what works for someone else might not be right for your health needs, your prescriptions, or your budget.
Mistakes Can Be Hard to Fix Later: Once you’re locked into a plan, switching can be tricky. And if you miss enrollment windows, you might have to wait months to make changes.
There’s No Reason to Go It Alone: Working with a licensed, local agent like McShannon Insurance costs you nothing, and gives you personalized help, real answers, and support anytime you need it.
Finding the right Medicare agent can make a huge difference in your experience. Here are a few signs that you are working with someone dependable:
Check Their Licensing: Any agent you work with should be licensed to sell in Texas and work with multiple insurance carriers. This shows they are up to date and able to offer variety.
Read Online Reviews from Clients: Nothing tells the story better than client feedback. Consistent 5-star reviews show that others have had a smooth and helpful experience.
Ask About Their Plan Access: If an agent only sells plans from one provider, your choices may be limited. The more options they can show you, the more likely you’ll find the right fit.
Look for Year-Round Availability: A great agent is not just there for enrollment, they stick around to answer questions and help with updates as your needs change.
Make Sure They Communicate Clearly: You deserve someone who explains things simply and listens to your concerns. Medicare is complex, and your agent should help you feel more in control, not less.
At McShannon Insurance, we check every one of these boxes. We are here to support you now and well into the future.
