Independent Medicare guidance for Southeast Louisiana
Medicare is confusing. Congress invented it, after all.
You don't have to figure it out alone — and my help costs you nothing. I'm Dave Normand, a local, independent agent. Since 2010 I've helped Louisianans compare Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement and Part D options and pick the right plan for their needs and budget.
Before we can go over specific plans, Medicare requires a quick Scope of Appointment form. It's not a commitment—it just confirms which types of coverage you're open to discussing, so our conversation stays focused on what you actually want to know. It takes less than a minute.

How I look at the work
The same advice I gave my own parents.
My mom and dad are both on Medicare plans, and I'm the licensed agent of record for both of them. When it was their turn to choose, I sat at their kitchen table and walked them through it — plain language, no pressure, no jargon. That's exactly how I'll walk you through yours. I treat every client the way I'd want an agent to treat my mother or father. It's not a slogan; it's why my clients stay with me year after year.
Local and independent
Skip the toll-free number.
Call one of those 1-800 numbers on TV and you get whoever picks up — often an agent for a single company reading a script from a call center a thousand miles away, or some high-pressure sales guy in California (no offense) who'll push you to buy what's in his best interest — not yours. Call my number and you get me. I represent the top Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement carriers in Louisiana, so my advice starts with your doctors, your prescriptions and your budget — not a sales quota. And in most cases, I'll come to you.

How it works
Three simple steps.
- 1
Call me.
Start with your general Medicare questions — no forms required.
- 2
Confirm the topics.
When you're ready to talk specific plans, Medicare requires a short Scope of Appointment form. It isn't a commitment — it just confirms what we're allowed to discuss.
- 3
Compare and decide.
I explain the options available through me, we weigh them against your priorities, and you decide. No obligation, ever.
Talk with Dave
Start with a conversation.
General Medicare questions can begin with a phone call. Choose the local number for your area—each one reaches Dave directly. Home visits are how most of my clients meet with me — I come to you.
