Your Local Medicare Broker in Fitchburg, WI
Fitchburg is home base for me and for Red Sky Insurance Advisors — and if you want to sit across a table from someone who actually knows your Medicare options, I'm here for that.
Fitchburg's Independent Medicare Advisor
I've been helping Fitchburg residents sort through Medicare since 2017, and this community is where I live and work. As an independent Medicare insurance agent in Fitchburg, WI, I'm not tied to any single carrier. I work with 13 to 14 insurance companies and recommend the plan that fits your situation — not the one that pays me the most. Every consultation is free, and that's not a promotion. Federal rules require that premiums cost the same whether you enroll through me or go directly to the carrier. You get the guidance either way, so you might as well have someone in your corner.
Medicare Coverage Options — Find the Plan That Fits Your Life
Medicare isn't one-size-fits-all, and the right plan depends on your doctors, your prescriptions, and your budget. Here's where most people start.
Medicare Advantage (Part C)
All-in-one plans that often include dental, vision, and drug coverage — typically with lower premiums than a Supplement plan.
Medicare Supplement (Medigap)
Wisconsin structures Medigap differently than most states — a base plan plus optional riders. I'll help you understand exactly what you're buying.
Part D Prescription Drug Plans
The wrong drug plan can cost you hundreds more per year. I compare formularies and pharmacy networks so you're not overpaying for your medications.
Individual Health & ACA Coverage
For clients under 65 or those who need coverage outside of Medicare, I work with ACA Marketplace plans and individual health options.
More Ways I Can Help
Medicare is the core of what I do, but coverage gaps don't stop there. I also help clients fill in what Medicare doesn't cover.

Guide
New to Medicare? I've built a step-by-step guide to help you understand your timeline, your choices, and what to do first.
Dental, Vision & Hearing
Original Medicare covers very little here. Standalone dental, vision, and hearing plans can close that gap without changing your Medicare coverage.
Cancer & Hospital Indemnity
Supplemental coverage that pays cash benefits directly to you if you're hospitalized or diagnosed with a serious illness — a layer of protection many clients don't know exists.
Life
Insurance
Whether you're looking for final expense coverage or a simple term policy, I can help you find something that fits your situation.
Carriers I Work With
I'm not tied to any single insurance company. I hold contracts with more than a dozen carriers — including Anthem, Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Devoted Health, Dean Health Plan (Medica), Physicians Mutual, and others — so I can compare real options and recommend the plan that's right for you, not the one that's easiest to sell.
Medicare Plans Available to Fitchburg Residents
Fitchburg sits squarely within the Madison metro area, which means residents here have access to the same strong carrier landscape as the broader Dane County market. I help Fitchburg residents compare and enroll in:
- Medicare Advantage(Part C) — bundled coverage that often includes dental, vision, and prescription drugs
- Medicare Supplement/ Medigap — Wisconsin uses a base-plan-plus-riders structure that's unique to the state, and I know it well
- Part D Prescription Drug Plans — standalone drug coverage for those on Original Medicare
- Dental, Vision & Hearing plans — supplemental coverage Medicare largely leaves out
- Cancer and Hospital Indemnity plans — cash-benefit coverage for serious diagnosis or extended hospital stays
- Life Insurance and Short-Term Health Insurance — for households with coverage gaps outside of Medicare
Turning 65 Soon? Here's What Fitchburg Residents Need to Know
Medicare enrollment has firm deadlines, and missing them can mean gaps in coverage or permanent late-enrollment penalties. If you're approaching 65, the time to start comparing your options is three to six months before your birthday month — not the week before. I work with a lot of first-time Medicare enrollees in Fitchburg and across Dane County, and the biggest mistake I see is waiting too long. My Turning 65 Guide walks through the enrollment timeline, the differences between plan types, and what decisions you'll need to make before your coverage starts.
Already on Medicare? Annual Plan Reviews Are Part of the Job
Your Medicare plan should be reviewed every year during the Annual Enrollment Period. Carrier networks shift, drug formularies change, and premiums adjust — a plan that worked well last year may not be your best option this year. I offer annual plan reviews to every client I work with, at no charge. It's not an add-on or a sales call. It's just part of making sure your coverage still fits your life.
Questions Fitchburg Residents Ask About Medicare
Do I pay more to use a Medicare broker in Fitchburg instead of going directly to a carrier?
No. Federal rules require that Medicare plan premiums cost the same regardless of how you enroll. Working with me costs you nothing extra — and it means you have someone comparing options across multiple carriers on your behalf rather than hearing from just one.Can I meet with you in person in Fitchburg?
Yes, during Medicare's Annual Enrollment Period (October through November), my Fitchburg office is available for in-person consultations. Year-round, I'm available by phone or Zoom — whichever is easier for you.What Medicare plans are available to residents in Fitchburg, WI?
Fitchburg is part of the Madison metro area, so residents here have access to a solid range of Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, and Part D plans from multiple carriers. The exact options depend on your zip code and situation, which is why a personalized comparison is the best place to start.What's the difference between Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement in Wisconsin?
Medicare Advantage replaces Original Medicare with a bundled plan from a private carrier, often including drug coverage and extras like dental and vision. Medicare Supplement — called Medigap — works alongside Original Medicare to cover costs like copays and deductibles. Wisconsin has its own Medigap structure based on a standardized base plan with optional riders, which is different from most other states. I can walk you through both and help you figure out which approach fits your health needs and budget.I'm worried about Medicare scams. How do I know who to trust?
It's a real concern — Medicare fraud and scam calls targeting seniors are widespread. A legitimate Medicare broker will never pressure you, ask for your Medicare number unsolicited, or promise benefits that sound too good to be true. I've put together a dedicated resource on Medicare scams that covers the warning signs and how to verify who you're actually talking to.
