ABOUT US
We Built Meridian 65 for People Who Are Just Getting Started.
There is a particular kind of clarity that comes with this stage of life. You know what matters. You know how you want to spend your time, your energy, and your days. The noise of earlier decades has quieted and what remains is real.
Medicare eligibility arrives in the middle of all of that. And for most people, it arrives with a pile of confusing paperwork, competing advice, and a deadline that feels uncomfortably close.
Eileen and Don built Meridian 65 because they believe you deserve better than that. Medicare is not a burden to get through. Used well, it is the foundation that lets you live the way you intend to live, on your terms, with your health protected and your options understood.
That is the work we do. And we do it for everyone, without exception.
OUR FOUNDING STORY
Two Professionals. One Shared Conviction.
Eileen and Don came to Medicare the way most people do: through the people they love. They navigated the system on behalf of family members, managed the paperwork, asked the questions, made the calls, and learned firsthand how unnecessarily difficult the whole process can be.
What struck them both was not that Medicare was flawed. It is a meaningful and important program. What struck them was that most people had no real guide through it. No one who understood the details, asked the right questions, and cared about the outcome.
Meridian 65 is the answer to that gap. The name reflects the mission: a meridian is a point of clarity and direction. 65 is the moment it matters most.
We are a nationally licensed independent insurance agency contracted with multiple carriers. We are not tied to any single plan or company. Every recommendation we make is based entirely on what works for you.
MEET Eileen
She Has Lived This. That Is Why She Does This.
Eileen spent more than three decades in operations and regulatory compliance across highly regulated industries. She knows what it means to hold an organization to a standard that actually protects people, not just one that looks good on paper.
That experience shapes everything about how Meridian 65 operates. Medicare advisory work is governed by CMS regulations, federal guidelines, and carrier-specific requirements. Eileen makes sure every client interaction, every recommendation, and every piece of communication meets those standards without exception.
But the credential that matters most to Eileen is not professional. It is personal.
For over a decade, she navigated the Medicare system on behalf of her brother, who lives with a disability and depends on Medicare for his care. She also managed Medicare for both of her parents. She did not learn this from a manual. She learned it under real pressure, with real stakes, making sure the people she loves got the care they had earned.
She knows where the system trips people up. She knows the questions most people are afraid to ask. And she knows that getting coverage right is not a bureaucratic exercise. It is how you protect the life you are building.
That understanding is at the center of everything Meridian 65 does.
MEET DON
40 Years of Financial Expertise. Applied Where It Counts.
Don brings more than four decades of experience in financial services to Meridian 65. His career covered capital introduction, residential and commercial lending, and the full spectrum of real estate finance, including debt structuring, equity placement, and complex financial planning.
Most people do not think of Medicare as a financial decision. Don knows it is one of the most significant financial decisions of this stage of life. Premiums, out-of-pocket maximums, cost-sharing structures, and long-term coverage implications all affect what you can do with your money, how you plan for the unexpected, and how freely you can live.
Don translates that complexity into plain language. He has spent his career helping people navigate high-stakes financial decisions with clarity and confidence. At Meridian 65, he brings that same approach to helping clients understand exactly what their Medicare choices will cost them now and over time.
No pressure. No agenda. Just the information you need to make the right call.
