Who is MedicareWire?
David Bynon
Chief Petty Officer David Bynon re-enlisting 15 September 2001.

Hello, my name is David Bynon.

I founded MedicareWire in 2011 after retiring from the Navy. I’ve made helping people like you my full-time retirement profession.

My goal is to help you see all the rates offered by insurance companies that sell Medigap policies in your area.

I am not an insurance agent.

My job is to make sure that you have the information you need to be comfortable with your plan decision. When it comes to choosing a Medigap plan, I want you to be able to see all rates and carriers before speaking with an agent.

To provide you with this free service, I need to ask you to provide your age, gender, zip code, and email address. I promise to keep your information secure. You can count on me not to share, sell, or otherwise divulge your information to anyone.

Yours in Better Medicare.

David Bynon
