Parker Health Options: Here to Help

Most people would agree that having options can be a good thing. Who doesn’t want the freedom to choose their favorite pizza topping, movie, outfit, or beach? Sometimes, however, too many options can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to Medicare. As you approach Medicare-enrollment eligibility, you can be swamped by information in the form of emails, texts, phone calls, snail-mail fliers, infomercials, and targeted social media advertisements. Getting advice from an expert can make wading through this flood less stressful. Let Marit Parker and Parker Health Options be that expert for you.

Why Choose Marit Parker?

A second-generation Floridian, Marit Parker loves St. Pete. Born at St. Anthony’s Hospital and a graduate of Lakewood High School, Parker returned home after earning her degree from the University of Florida. Today she and her family (husband and 11-year old twins) have settled in Northeast St. Pete. Clients aren’t just numbers on an application form; they also are her neighbors. She enjoys meeting new clients and fostering long-term relationships because being a trusted community resource is a big reason she does what she does. With more than nine years of experience working with Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, and prescription-drug policies, she is an expert at explaining the intricacies of the system. Most importantly, Parker views her role as an educator. She understands how vital it is to understand your Medicare options. Helping people is why she undertook this career. Her best advice for anyone contemplating an insurance decision is to “find a trusted agent, even if it’s not me. It will serve you in the short and long term.”

She also makes the process easy. During the free personal consultation, she listens to your health story, including your past, current, and potential future health needs. She also will educate you on what Medicare does, and doesn’t, do, and make sure that you understand the potential costs and benefits of each option. Once Parker understands a client’s needs and goals, she offers her expert advice on “what is best for you.” She also guides clients through the insurance contract process and offers herself as a free resource to help people navigate questions and confusion.

Tina and her husband Brian visited St Pete for the first time in January of 2017. Four months later, they waved goodbye to Illinois and moved to their new forever home in the Sunshine City! They both believe it’s the best snap decision they ever made. Leaving her job as a university history professor was the toughest part of the relocation, but she is thoroughly enjoying having more time to write. Currently, in addition to her work with Green Bench Monthly, she is working on her third book (and first novel) and loving life in DTSP.
