Amanda Brewton
Owner, Medicare Answers Now
Hi! I'm Amanda Brewton out of Cleveland, Ohio. If you're looking for a shiny, sugar-coated bio, you’re in the wrong place. I’m almost 6 feet of no-nonsense, straight-talking Medicare Yoda, but don’t let the rugged exterior fool you.
I deeply care about my clients, my agents, and this industry. For over 17 years and counting, I've been deep in the trenches of the Medicare world, having worked for the likes of Aetna and Anthem. This isn’t just my job, it's my passion.
Why? Because I believe everyone deserves clarity when it comes to their health coverage. That's why I've dedicated years to teaching and spreading knowledge across the country. Topics that I can talk about and teach? You name 'em – Ethics, Business Development, Sales, Marketing, and a ton of Continuing Education courses. Hell, they even named me “Educator of the Year” at my local NABIP Chapter. Not too shabby, right? I'm also the creator behind the industry leading conferences such as Ms. Medicare Conference, because women in this industry need to stand tall, network, learn, and take charge of their dreams. Let’s not forget about the men! "Medicare and Margaritas" – that’s right, who says you can’t mix business with mixed drinks? This is an industry learning event unlike any other! It's a deep dive into our field with a side of social networking and fun at the beach.
I’ve been a member of NABIP (National Association of Benefit and Insurance Professionals) since 2007 and worn many hats. Right now, I’m in the roles as National Membership Medicare Chair and I’m working with an elite group of my peers with the NABIP Medicare Advisory Group, working elbow-to-elbow with CMS and other various levels of legislature, ensuring the voices of agents like us don’t get drowned out. Alright, enough about me. If you're here, it’s because you want answers and clarity, not fluff. And that's precisely what you'll get.
Let’s go! Game on!
