Meet Deana - The Founder of MarksMethod Insurance

The Medicare Maven Meets Mindful Muscle

I’m Deana — founder of Marks Method, where I make Medicare simple, personal, and stress-free. I’ve always believed that service comes first. Medicare isn’t just about insurance—it’s about people, their stories, their families, and their peace of mind.

I’m passionate about helping people feel empowered in their healthcare choices, especially as they transition into new life chapters. I started MarksMethod Insurance because I saw how overwhelmed people felt when trying to understand Medicare. I wanted to change that. My approach is personal, patient, and transparent.

I’m here to guide you through every option and help you feel supported from our very first conversation.

But my mission doesn’t stop at Medicare.

I’m also committed to living a healthy, intentional

lifestyle — mind, body, and soul. Whether I’m breaking down Part B or breaking a sweat, I believe in doing it with purpose. Fitness keeps me focused, learning keeps me sharp, and helping others keeps me inspired. From educating at local events to one-on-one consultations, your health coverage matters—and so does the person helping you choose it.

The different parts of Medicare help cover specific services:

Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance): Part A covers inpatient hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some home health care.

Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance): Part B covers certain doctors' services, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services.

Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage): The Medicare Advantage program is also called Medicare Part C.

Medicare Part D (prescription drug coverage): Helps cover the cost of prescription drugs (including many recommended shots or vaccines).

Additionally, Supplements are available to help with costs not covered by Medicare:

Medicare Supplement insurance plans help pay your share of some of the healthcare costs that Original Medicare doesn't cover, like copayments, coinsurance and deductibles.

Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement are different types of Medicare coverage. You cannot have both at the same time. Medicare Advantage bundles Part A and B, often with Part D and other types of coverage.

Medicare Supplement is additional coverage you can buy only if you have Original Medicare Part A and B.

Not all plans are built the same, and premiums vary
Medicare Supplement Insurance is sometimes also called Medigap because it helps fill the gaps in coverage and provides additional benefits such as dental and vision care.
With a variety of plans available, you can customize your coverage to meet your specific needs and budget.

Need help understanding your options?

We know enrolling in Medicare can be a complicated and daunting process, but it doesn't have to be. Let us help you understand your options and choose the right one for you.

What is Original Medicare?

Original Medicare includes Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance). You pay for services as you get them. When you get services, you’ll pay a deductible at the start of each year, and you usually pay 20% of the cost of the Medicare-approved service, called coinsurance. If you want drug coverage, you can add a separate drug plan (Part D).

Original Medicare pays for much, but not all, of the cost for covered health care services and supplies. A Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policy can help pay some of the remaining health care costs, like copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. Some Medigap policies also cover services that Original Medicare doesn't cover, like emergency medical care when you travel outside the U.S.

What is Medicare Advantage?

Medicare Advantage is a Medicare-approved plan from a private company that offers an alternative to Original Medicare for your health and drug coverage. These “bundled” plans include Part A, Part B, and usually Part D.

Plans may offer some extra benefits that Original Medicare doesn’t cover — like vision, hearing, and dental services. Medicare Advantage Plans have yearly contracts with Medicare and must follow Medicare’s coverage rules. The plan must notify you about any changes before the start of the next enrollment year.
