Professional Profile
Don Rice & Associates, LLC is a full-service independent insurance agency specializing in the transition for seniors into Medicare, Retirement Benefits & Social Security Optimization. We believe in educating and navigating clients through these processes. If someone does not understand how Medicare works, what it covers or does not cover, it is difficult to for them to choose the right plans for their needs. Also, when is the best time for someone to opt in for their Social Security Retirement Benefits. Do you have an ex-spouse, deceased spouse, disabled children or adult children and not sure how this will affect your benefits? This too can be quite overwhelming. We assess, strategize and design multiple options in all areas for any one individual or couple.
