Brian Krantz
Brian Krantz is the Founder and President of Plan Medicare and a licensed Medicare advisor with more than 15 years of experience helping clients understand Medicare and choose coverage with confidence. Licensed in all 50 states, Brian has helped thousands of Medicare beneficiaries compare Medicare Supplement plans, Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, and other health insurance options.
Brian is known for making Medicare easier to understand. He works closely with individuals, families, retirees, and financial professionals to help clients evaluate their doctors, prescriptions, budget, location, and long-term healthcare needs before choosing a plan.
Brian’s Medicare Expertise
Brian has spent thousands of hours helping clients navigate complex Medicare decisions, including:
- Original Medicare
- Medicare Supplement insurance, also known as Medigap
- Medicare Advantage plans
- Medicare Part D prescription drug plans
- Dental, vision, and additional coverage options
- Medicare enrollment when turning 65
- Medicare open enrollment and annual plan reviews
- Medicaid coordination
- Provider networks, copays, deductibles, and prescription drug coverage
- Medicare planning for retirees and high-net-worth individuals
- Medicare guidance for financial advisors and their clients
Brian’s goal is to help every client understand their options clearly so they can make informed decisions about their Medicare coverage.
Founder of Plan Medicare
Under Brian’s leadership, Plan Medicare has become a trusted independent Medicare advisory firm based in New York and serving clients nationwide. The agency helps people compare Medicare plan options, enroll in coverage, and review their plans each year to make sure their coverage continues to fit their needs.
Plan Medicare serves clients throughout New York, including New York City, Long Island, Nassau County, Suffolk County, and the surrounding areas, while also helping Medicare-eligible individuals across the United States.
Unlike a carrier, call center, or online quote marketplace, Plan Medicare provides personal Medicare guidance from licensed advisors. Clients do not have to rely on a generic 1-800 number or speak with someone who only understands one insurance company’s products. Brian and his team help clients compare available options and choose coverage based on their specific needs.
Brian Krantz’s Story
Brian has been a leader in making Medicare guidance more accessible and personal for New Yorkers. He opened one of Long Island’s first physical Medicare advisory locations, giving clients a place to receive in-person Medicare education and support.
Over the course of his career, Brian has personally helped more than 30,000 New York residents make important Medicare decisions. His experience working with Medicare beneficiaries, insurance carriers, and financial advisors has shaped his high-touch, concierge approach to Medicare planning.
Brian frequently works alongside fiduciary advisors, financial planners, and other professionals who want their clients to receive the same level of care, education, and white-glove service they expect from their broader financial planning relationship.
A Personal Approach to Medicare Planning
Brian works with each client on an individual basis. Before recommending coverage, he reviews the client’s doctors, prescription medications, budget, location, travel needs, and current health coverage. He compares available Medicare plans and explains how each option works, including provider networks, prescription coverage, premiums, copays, and out-of-pocket costs.
His approach is educational, not transactional. Brian takes the time to make sure clients understand what they are enrolling in, how their coverage works, and what they may need to review each year.
After enrollment, Brian and the Plan Medicare team continue to support clients through annual plan reviews and ongoing Medicare questions.
Medicare Advisor Serving New York and Clients Nationwide
Brian is based in New York and works with clients throughout New York City, Long Island, Nassau County, Suffolk County, and across the United States. As a licensed Medicare advisor in all 50 states, he helps clients compare Medicare options whether they are turning 65, retiring after 65, reviewing existing coverage, or helping a family member make an important Medicare decision.
Outside of Plan Medicare
Outside of his work as Founder and President of Plan Medicare, Brian lives on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with his wife and two children. He enjoys being part of the New York community and helping clients make confident, informed healthcare decisions during retirement.
