Advertising & consumer education

Coverage decisions are easier when nobody is rushing you.

Allowance Connection writes plain-English explainers about health and Medicare-related coverage, and runs advertising that puts interested readers in touch with licensed, independent insurance agents. Reading costs you nothing, and nothing on this site enrolls you in anything.

We publish, we advertise, we introduce — that is the whole list

allowanceconnection.com is a publishing and advertising business. We write general educational material about how coverage works, and we buy advertising that reaches people who want to talk the subject through with somebody licensed to discuss it. When a reader chooses to call a number or click through one of our ads, that reader is handed to an independent third party. From that moment forward, everything — the licensing, the quote, the application, the policy, the service after the sale — belongs to that third party, not to us.

Plain-English explainers

General background on Medicare Parts A through D, Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, and other health coverage ideas — written for people reading about it for the first time, not for the industry.

Advertising campaigns

Paid digital placements, clearly labeled as advertising, that reach consumers who have said they want a conversation about coverage options in their area.

A hand-off, not a sale

The agent or agency you reach is independent of us. They represent their own carriers, answer for their own conduct, and may not carry every plan sold where you live.

What happens after you click or call

  1. You read something here, or you see one of our ads somewhere else.
  2. If — and only if — you want to, you dial the number or follow the link.
  3. You reach a licensed insurance agent, agency, or marketing partner who is not us.
  4. They walk you through what they represent. You can hang up, say no, or take a week to think it over. Nothing is owed either way.

Things we will never do

Want the official, unbiased version?

Go straight to the source. Medicare.gov and 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227, TTY 1-877-486-2048) are free, available around the clock, and cover every option — including ones no advertiser will ever show you. Your local State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) offers free counseling with nothing to sell.

Who pays for this website

Not you. Allowance Connection is a for-profit advertising business paid by third-party advertisers, licensed agents and agencies, and marketing partners — typically when a reader clicks an ad, submits information, or places a call through one of our properties. That money can affect which partners appear on our pages and in what order, and we would rather say so on the front page than bury it. What it never does is change the price of any insurance product, or make us your agent, broker, or fiduciary. The complete disclosure lives on our Disclaimer page.
