What Pima County clients say
Shown with each client's first name, last initial and city, and posted with their permission.
Turning 65
“I was turning 65 and had no idea which form came first. We went through my dates on one call, and I had my Part B start date and a plan picked out before my birthday month.”
Doctor networks
“My cardiologist at Banner was the whole issue. The team checked the network before I signed anything and told me plainly which plans kept him.”
Prescription costs
“They ran my six medications through the drug lists instead of quoting me a premium. My yearly cost dropped and I still fill at the same pharmacy on Oracle Road.”

Get Medicare help in Tucson, AZ before you enroll
These three checks decide which plan actually fits you, not which one has the flashiest brochure.
Find your Medicare sign-up window
Type in your birthdate and we'll map out your Initial Enrollment Period, when to apply, and when your coverage kicks in.
Is my doctor in network?
Give us the doctor or clinic you want to keep, whether that's a Banner University Medicine specialist or a small Midtown clinic. Our licensed agents check it against the plans we can offer for your ZIP code and calls you back with the answer, usually the same day or the next business day. No online guessing games.
What will my prescriptions actually cost?
The monthly premium never tells the whole story. We check your medications against the formularies of the plans we represent in Pima County, including your pharmacy, and call you with the real annual total instead of the number on the brochure.
Annual Enrollment runs Oct 15 to Dec 7
Networks, drug tiers and premiums reset every year across Tucson. A free checkup takes about 15 minutes. See what changed this year
Turning 65 in the next six months?
Your Initial Enrollment Period opens three months before your birthday month and closes three months after. Miss it and you could face a Part B penalty for life. Look up my enrollment window
Medicare help in Tucson, AZ: coverage we compare
We work with several carriers, not just one. We lay out what each plan actually covers, explain the trade-offs in plain language, and let your doctors and budget make the call.
Medicare Supplement (Medigap)
Steady, predictable costs and the freedom to see any provider who accepts Medicare, including Banner University Medical Center Tucson and TMC HealthCare, without a network to worry about.
Part D Prescription Drug Plans
We take your exact medication list and run it against the formularies of the plans we represent, then hand you the real annual cost instead of just a monthly sticker price.
Already on Medicare?
A second opinion on the plan you already carry. If it still beats everything else we can offer, we will tell you straight and leave it alone.
Final Expense & Life
Straightforward whole-life coverage so your family in Tucson is not stuck covering funeral costs. Some options need no medical exam at all.
Turning 65 soon
Your seven-month Initial Enrollment window, your single guaranteed shot at Medigap, and what changes if you are still working past 65.
The real difference shows up when you call us three years from now.
Tucson Senior Insurance is a small, local agency. You will not get bounced to a call center reading from a script in another time zone.
Call us: 520-386-4867- 01
You call the same person every year
No call center rotation. The same licensed Tucson agent signs you up, and that agent still answers in January if a claim gets denied.
- 02
We check your doctors and drugs before anything else
Before we suggest a plan, we run your providers and your prescription list against what we can offer. Skipping this step is where most Tucson seniors get burned.
- 03
Our help costs you nothing
The carriers we represent pay us, not you, and your premium lands the same whether or not you work with us.

We show up around Pima County
Home and in-person visits from Catalina Foothills to Sahuarita, plus phone or video calls when that fits your schedule better.
Why call us instead of 1-800-MEDICARE?
Both have a place, and they do different jobs. Medicare.gov and 1-800-MEDICARE can list every plan sold in Pima County. We stick to a smaller lineup of carriers and do the legwork of matching your doctors, medications and budget to one of them.
| Working with Tucson Senior Insurance | 1-800-MEDICARE / Medicare.gov |
|---|---|
| One local advisor with your history who answers when you call back | A national call center where you rarely reach the same person twice |
| Checks your actual doctors at Banner, TMC and Northwest, plus your prescriptions, before recommending a plan | Can share general Medicare information and pull up plan details |
| Still available after you enroll, including if a claim gets denied | A different agent may pick up the phone each time you dial in |
| Lines up the carriers we represent against your Tucson ZIP code | Can list every plan sold in your area, without a recommendation |
| Meets face to face in Oro Valley, Marana, Sahuarita or your living room | Mostly a phone line, backed by the Medicare.gov self-service site |
We only sell plans from the carriers we represent, not every plan on the market. To see the full lineup, contact Medicare.gov, call 1-800-MEDICARE, or reach the Arizona State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP).

Medicare networks work differently block by block.

We meet clients from Casas Adobes to Vail, and we handle Medicare Annual Enrollment, October 15 through December 7, here in Tucson every single year.

Medicare help in Tucson, AZ: common questions
- When can I enroll in Medicare in Tucson, AZ?
- Your Initial Enrollment Period covers the three months before, the month of, and the three months after your 65th birthday. Annual Enrollment runs from October 15 through December 7, and a Special Enrollment Period can open up after a move to Rita Ranch or Green Valley, a retirement from Raytheon or the University of Arizona, or the loss of an employer plan.
- Does it cost anything to work with your agency?
- No, our Medicare help in Tucson, AZ costs you nothing. The insurance carriers we represent pay us directly, and your premium stays identical whether you sign up through us or go straight to the carrier.
- Medicare Advantage or a Medicare Supplement: which one fits me?
- It comes down to your doctors, how often you travel to see family outside Arizona, your prescriptions, and your budget. Many Green Valley retirees and Tucson snowbirds who split the year between states lean toward Medigap for the flexibility. We price both options from the carriers we represent before pointing you either way.
- Can you check whether my doctor is in network?
- Yes. Before we suggest a single plan, we check your providers against what we can offer, including Banner University Medical Center Tucson, TMC HealthCare, Northwest Medical Center, and independent Pima County clinics, and we run your medication list against every plan formulary we compare.
- Do you meet in person?
- We do home visits across Tucson, Oro Valley, Marana, Sahuarita, Green Valley, Vail, and the neighboring towns, and we handle everything over the phone too if that works better for you.
