Medicare Supplement Coverage
Original Medicare leaves gaps that can add up. A Medicare Supplement plan helps cover those out-of-pocket costs. We’ll guide you through your options, compare benefits, and help you choose a plan that gives you confidence and financial protection.
Medicare Advantage Options
Looking for added benefits like dental, vision, or hearing coverage? We break down Medicare Advantage plans available in your area so you understand exactly what they include and where they may have limits.
Prescription Drug Coverage (Part D)
Managing medication costs is an important part of healthcare. We’ll walk you through available Part D plans, compare drug lists, and make sure your prescriptions are covered at the best possible price.

“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 benefits 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 and 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 and I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Eric!” – Morgan
When it comes to Medicare, there are plenty of agents and call centers available. Most rely on generic advice and pushy sales tactics. We take a different approach by focusing on what matters most to you.
Client-Focused
Every plan recommendation is based on your personal healthcare needs, not on quotas or commissions.
Licensed Across Texas
We partner with top-rated carriers statewide so you always have access to a wide range of Medicare options.
Independent and Local
We are not tied to one provider, which means you get honest guidance without pressure.
Ongoing Support
Once you’re enrolled, we stay with you. Questions or changes down the road? You can call or email us directly.
Clear Communication
We make sure you understand your plan, what it covers, and how to use it.
Whether you’re signing up for Medicare for the first time or reviewing your current plan, we ensure you always have the information and support you need.
Medicare can feel overwhelming, and even small missteps may cause lasting problems. Many people do not realize they have chosen the wrong option until it results in higher bills or reduced benefits. That is why working with a licensed Medicare agent in Garland is so valuable. Here are some of the most frequent mistakes we help our clients avoid:
Choosing the Wrong Plan
Too often, people focus only on the monthly premium. While price is important, you also need to review deductibles, networks, prescription coverage, and yearly costs. A plan that looks affordable upfront can end up costing far more if it does not meet your needs.
Missing Enrollment Deadlines
Medicare enrollment windows are easy to overlook. Missing one can create late penalties, coverage gaps, or higher premiums that last for life. We make sure you enroll at the right time.
Skipping Prescription Coverage
Even if you are healthy today, avoiding a Part D plan can lead to penalties and higher drug costs later. We help you choose the right coverage before it becomes a problem.
Not Reviewing Plans Annually
Medicare options change every year. A plan that worked last year may no longer fit your doctors, prescriptions, or budget. Our free annual reviews ensure you always stay protected.
Trusting TV or Mail Ads
Advertisements often highlight only the positives of a single plan. We give you clear comparisons so you can make the choice that truly works for you.
Working with McShannon Insurance means avoiding these pitfalls and staying confident in your Medicare coverage.
Finding the right Medicare advisor can feel like a challenge, especially with so many agents and call centers competing for attention. To make the best choice, here are a few important factors to consider:
Check for Licensing
Always confirm that your Medicare agent is licensed in Texas and works with multiple carriers. This ensures they can provide you with legitimate options and stay updated on Texas-specific Medicare rules.
Read Client Reviews
Feedback from real clients offers a clear picture of what you can expect. Positive reviews often highlight consistent service, honest communication, and dependable support, all qualities you want in an advisor.
Ask About Plan Access
Agents who work independently with several insurance carriers can give you more options. This makes it easier to find coverage that fits your needs rather than being pushed into a single plan.
Look for Ongoing Support
A reliable Medicare agent does more than sign you up. They remain available throughout the year to answer questions, make updates, and provide guidance if unexpected issues arise.
Choose Clarity Over Pressure
The right agent will walk you through your options in plain language. Instead of rushing or pressuring you, they’ll help you make confident choices at your own pace.
At McShannon Insurance, we follow these standards with every client. From your first consultation to yearly plan reviews, we are here to give you trusted, personalized Medicare guidance in Garland and beyond.
