Where do I start?

Between choosing your coverage type and insurance provider, there are a lot of choices to make. We believe education is the first step in your Medicare journey, which is why we offer monthly seminars–no cost and no obligation. These seminars will explain Advantage Plans, Supplemental Plans, RX coverage, and more. If you can’t make it to one of our seminars, let us know, and we can schedule a one-on-one meeting. You’ll also find helpful resources [link] here on our website.

What’s the catch? Nothing is really free, right?

There’s no catch. You don’t pay us anything. We hope that after attending a seminar, you’ll reach out–and if not, that’s okay too. We receive a commission from the insurance providers once you’ve selected your coverage and provider.

Am I going to be steered toward a plan with the biggest commission?

The commission we receive from our many insurance providers is the same, regardless of the plan you choose. We will help you find unbiased options that best suit your needs, and the final decision is completely up to you.

Upcoming Seminars

We hold free educational seminars all over the Kansas City metro area. These hour-long seminars will provide you with a basic understanding of the four parts of Medicare, how to enroll, when to enroll, the differences between Medicare Advantage plans and Medicare Supplement plans, the pros and cons of each, and how to avoid costly lifetime penalties. We’ll lift the fog that surrounds Medicare, and you’ll leave more confident than when you arrived. We look forward to meeting you at event near you.

Testimonials

From Our Clients

Don’t take our word for it: hear from the clients we’ve helped.

We simply could not have done this on our own. Lori has the heart of a teacher: she was able to walk us through the pluses and minuses of each plan, so I feel confident that with her counsel, we made the best decision possible. She’s personable and very knowledgeable, and I not only would–but have–recommended Lori to numerous friends who have also appreciated her services. As long as she’s available, she will be our Medicare counselor.

I first met Lori Hocker about six years ago–I happened to visit Hy-Vee when she had a Medicare kiosk there. I had become disabled from a car accident and needed to find supplemental Medicare insurance. Together we found a plan that I not only could afford, but worked best for my situation. Over the years, she has always kept me in mind when changes were being made to different plans and would call to let me know my options. This company–and Lori–is always knowledgeable, proactive, and protective of their clients. I always feel that they are about helping individuals; it’s never about the money.

I was nervous about retirement, but I was more nervous about navigating through the insurance minefield. When I met with Kirk Doris, I was thrilled to know someone was “there.” When I was having a hip replacement, my first call was to Kirk Doris. When I have a coverage question, Kirk has immediately answered my call. I have emailed Kirk far too late in the evening, assuming he will respond the next day. However, these emails have been responded to that evening. My appreciation of Medicare Simplified KC is what I call a big PHEW!!

My wife and I have been clients of Kirk Doris and Medicare Simplified KC since 2020, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the service, guidance, and professionalism. Like most people our age, we were completely confused by the complexities of Medicare–Kirk made the fog lift and has always been available to answer our questions. He knows his business and has earned our trust. We enthusiastically recommend Kirk and Medicare Simplified KC.
Mr. & Mrs. Lyle D.Independence, MO
As a 50-year casualty insurance agent, I know well the importance of great service. In my years of working with them, what truly sets Medicare Simplified KC apart is their commitment to going the extra mile. They genuinely care about their customers and build long-term relationships rooted in trust and satisfaction. I whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone looking for information on Medicare that prefers to be educated versus sold. Let them show you the way through the Medicare maze.

Working with Richard was a fantastic experience. His personalized approach and knowledge of Medicare options made the process straightforward and stress-free. Richard took the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I understood my choices and felt confident in my decision. He was very patient while I asked my questions and provided me with thorough answers–and has continued excellent service after my policy was issued. I highly recommend Richard for anyone needing expert Medicare guidance.
Diane T.Excelsior Springs, MO
For more than seven years, we have relied on Kirk Doris for assistance with our yearly Medicare enrollment decisions. The information he has provided us has always been in easy-to-understand terms, he’s never tried to guide or “up-sell” us, and we have always felt confident in his counsel. In fact, we have been so satisfied with his service that we have referred our friends to him as well. He’s knowledgeable, personable, and responsive. We highly recommend Medicare Simplified KC.
