Who We Are

We’re Northern Michigan’s Independent Medicare Advisors — And We’re On Your Side

We started M1 Insurance Group because Medicare shouldn’t require a PhD to understand.

Most people approaching Medicare are overwhelmed before they even start. The mailers pile up, the TV ads conflict with each other, and the government guide reads like a legal document. We built M1 Insurance Group to be the resource northern Michigan residents actually need — a local, independent advisor who takes the time to explain your options honestly, without pressure and without a sales agenda.

What Sets M1 Insurance Group Apart

We Respond Fast

When you have a Medicare question, you shouldn’t have to wait days for an answer. We pick up the phone and respond to messages the same day — because your coverage timeline doesn’t wait.

Education Before Enrollment

We never rush you into a decision. Our process starts with understanding your situation, walking you through every option, and making sure you feel confident before you sign anything.

A Relationship, Not a Transaction

We stay your advisor long after enrollment day. Plan questions in March? Coverage change in July? New prescription in the fall? We’re here for all of it — year after year.

Your Medicare window opens 3 months before your birthday. Let’s make sure you’re ready.

Our Commitment to You

Local Expertise. Honest Advice. Long-Term Support.

We built M1 Insurance Group around three principles that guide every client conversation we have — from your first call to your annual plan review years down the road.

Our Simple Process

Getting the Right Medicare Plan Is Easier Than You Think

  • STEP 1
We Learn About You

We start with a simple conversation — your doctors, your prescriptions, your budget, and your priorities. No forms to fill out, no pressure. Just a real talk about what matters to you.

  • STEP 2
We Compare Every Option

Using what we learned, we run a side-by-side comparison of every Medicare plan available in your area. We look at premiums, out-of-pocket costs, drug coverage, and network — and we bring you the best options with a clear recommendation.

  • STEP 3
We Get You Enrolled — and Stay in Touch

Once you’ve chosen your plan, we handle the enrollment paperwork. And we don’t disappear after that. We check in every Annual Enrollment Period to make sure your plan still fits — and we’re always a phone call away if anything changes.

Carriers We Work With

As an independent agency, we’re appointed with all major Medicare carriers in Michigan — so we compare across the board to find what’s right for you.
