Independent agent Charles “Chuck” Lunsford compares plans from multiple carriers for you, at no added cost. Licensed in Florida since 1994.
A Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan pays most of what Original Medicare leaves you owing, and you can see any doctor in the country who accepts Medicare. Benefits are standardized by plan letter, but premiums for the same plan can differ a lot from one carrier to the next. We compare them for you.
Turning 65? Your best window to buy is your 6-month Medigap Open Enrollment Period, when insurers cannot turn you down for health reasons.

I’m Charles “Chuck” Lunsford, owner-agent of Southwest Florida Insurance and a Florida-licensed Life & Health agent since 1994. For more than 30 years I’ve helped families across Lee, Collier and Charlotte counties choose coverage that fits their health and their budget.
You work with me, not a call center: by phone, email, text, or in person by appointment, from the first call through every renewal.
I write coverage with United American, Globe Life and Epic Life, and through MCC Brokerage I have access to many more carriers. Carriers pay my commission, so my help adds no cost, and in most cases the premium is the same as buying direct.

Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans, life insurance (term, whole and universal), final expense insurance, individual health insurance, hospital indemnity plans and disability insurance, compared across multiple carriers.
No. Independent agents are paid by the insurance carrier, not the client, so there’s no added fee for our help. In most cases, the premium is the same as what you’d pay buying directly from the carrier.
We’re based in Fort Myers and serve clients across Lee, Collier and Charlotte counties, including Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Bonita Springs and Estero. We’re also licensed to help clients throughout Florida.
Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans are offered by private insurers and typically bundle hospital, medical, and often drug coverage into one plan with a network, often with a $0 premium. Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans work alongside Original Medicare to cover out-of-pocket costs like coinsurance and deductibles, usually for a monthly premium, but offer more flexibility to see any provider that accepts Medicare. Which one fits depends on your doctors, budget, and health needs. We sell Medicare Supplements, not Medicare Advantage, and we’re glad to talk through the trade-offs with you.
Most people can enroll during their Initial Enrollment Period, the 7-month window around their 65th birthday. After that, the Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 – December 7) lets you switch Medicare Advantage or Part D plans for the following year, and the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period (January 1 – March 31) allows a second change if you’re already in a Medicare Advantage plan.
