When you are dealing with your healthcare, "trust" isn't just a buzzword.
It's everything.

We are incredibly proud to share that across our agency, Johnston Insurance and Make Medicare Work, we have received over 270 five-star reviews from people right here in our community.

What does that number actually mean?

✅ It means 270+ times we answered the phone when someone was confused.
✅ It means 270+ times we fixed a billing error, found a cheaper drug, or explained a scary letter.
✅ It means 270+ neighbors who sleep better at night knowing their coverage is correct.

We don't chase numbers; we chase solutions.

But we are deeply grateful that the numbers show we are doing something right.
Thank you for trusting us with your health.

🎂 CA INSIDER SECRET:

Did you know California has a special law that people in other states dream of? It’s called the "Birthday Rule."

If you have a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan, you have a 60-day window around your birthday every year to switch to a cheaper plan with the same benefits—without answering health questions.

Your rates went up? Use your birthday to fire your carrier.

We help hundreds of Californians lower their bill every year just by checking the calendar.

People ask us, "Why are you working for free right now?"

Because the alternative is that we shut off the phones, and you get stuck calling a 1-800 number.

You know the drill: You wait on hold for 45 minutes, talk to a stranger in a different time zone who reads from a script, and you get nowhere.

We refuse to let the "system" win by forcing you into that robotic loop. We are the buffer between you and the madness.

We are local, we are real, and we are staying put.

DM us "CARE" so we can keep giving you REAL, human support:

There is a big difference between a "broker" and a "partner."

A broker is transactional; they leave when the money stops flowing. A partner is relational; they stay until the storm passes.

We've been through some of the BIGGEST storms with our clients and that's why we are your partners.

We are lashed to the mast with you. We will weather this together.

DM us "CARE" and we'll be right there waiting with you:

I posted the other day asking for general support, and I promised to always be 100% real with this community.

So, here is the unvarnished truth: Currently, due to extensive bureaucratic red tape and political maneuvering, our agency is practically working for free.

Almost zero commissions are flowing.

It’s a scary thing to admit as a small business owner. It keeps me up at night. But here is what isn’t changing:

Our doors are open. Our phones are on. We are still answering your questions and solving your problems every single day.

Why? Because YOU MATTER MORE than their politics.

We aren't going to let the "system" punish you just because they are squeezing us. We are here for the long haul.

So continue to reach out to us with your questions and we'll help you just the same as if nothing changed. DM us "CARE" or visit our direct link here:

"My doctor stopped my physical therapy because he said I wasn't 'improving' anymore." STOP. If you hear this, you are likely being lied to. This is the biggest myth in Medicare.

It’s called the Jimmo v. Sebelius Settlement. Medicare cannot require you to "improve" to cover your therapy. They MUST cover it if the therapy is needed to simply maintain your condition or prevent you from getting worse.

So if you have Parkinson's, MS, or are recovering from a stroke, and they try to cut you off because you "plateaued"—tell them to check the Jimmo rules. You have the right to maintenance care.

Don't let them deny your care. If you're fighting a denial, book a free call with us. We know the rules they hope you don't.

Did your Telehealth benefits just expire?

Technically... yes. Federal telehealth protections lapsed on October 1st. 📉

But here is the update they didn't put on the nightly news: CMS just issued a "temporary waiver" allowing Medicare Advantage plans to keep offering video visits through the end of 2025.

Why does this matter?

It's a Band-Aid: This isn't permanent law; it's "enforcement discretion."

Traditional Medicare is Different: If you aren't on an Advantage plan, the rules for virtual visits are totally different right now.

🛡️ We Watch the Chaos So You Don't Have To. Legislative loopholes like this cause surprise bills. At Make Medicare Work, we monitor daily federal guidance to ensure our clients know exactly what is covered before they log on for a doctor's visit.

Don't guess with your coverage. Let us handle the fine print.

They were your neighbors in Valley Village and Winnetka. But behind the scenes, five locals were running a massive "Sham Hospice" ring that drained nearly $16,000,000 from Medicare.

How did they do it? They used real Medicare numbers (maybe even ones bought from spam callers) to bill for expensive end-of-life care that patients never needed and never received.

Why does this matter to YOU?

Identity Theft: If they have your number, they can wreak havoc on your medical record.

Higher Costs: Fraud like this is exactly why premiums and co-pays go up for honest seniors every year.

🛡️ How We Protect Our Clients: At Make Medicare Work, we don’t just sign you up and disappear. We teach our clients how to audit their Medicare Summary Notices (MSN) to spot these fake charges instantly. We verify that every provider in your network is legitimate.

Don't leave your medical identity vulnerable. Work with a local team that watches your back.

🚨 SHUTDOWN ALERT! They're telling you, "Don't panic! Your Social Security and Medicare checks are still coming."

And that's true. But here's the insider secret: the entire system that supports you is failing. The article [point to screen] admits "ancillary services" are being cut.

What does that mean? Need a Medicare card replacement? Suspended. Need a proof-of-income letter? Suspended. That popular Telehealth program you use? The article confirms its funding is disrupted.

And here’s the kick... just for California. The delayed cost-of-living increase is projected at 2.7%. But this article [point to screen] confirms CA inflation is 3.5%! You're still falling behind!

Don't call a hotline and wait 3 hours. Book a free call with us. We're open. Link in bio!

🚨 CA MEDICARE ALERT. I just read the new 2026 press release from Health Net and Wellcare, and you need to see what's between the lines.

First, they are making a massive push for D-SNPs. That’s for Californians who have both Medicare and Medi-Cal. They are "seamlessly transitioning" members, which is code for "automatic enrollment." If you're a dual-eligible, you must check that this new plan still covers your doctors.

Second, that "Wellcare Spendables" card with the extra money? They're changing the rules. They admit that extra benefits like groceries, gas, and utilities will now only be available to members with specific chronic health conditions. This is a huge cut for many healthy seniors who were using that benefit.

They're pushing "value-conscious" plans. That's a corporate buzzword for "small network" or "high co-pays."

Don't let them cut your benefits. Book your free 2026 review. We'll check your D-SNP status and see if you're losing your Spendables card. Link in bio.
