About Michael Gurr — Your Washington Medicare Advisor

I help Washington residents make sense of Medicare so they don't make expensive mistakes.

Michael Gurr, licensed Medicare advisor in Washington State

I'm Michael Gurr, a licensed Medicare specialist with Bankers Life, based in University Place. I work with people across Washington State who are approaching Medicare, turning 65, or already enrolled and trying to figure out if their plan still fits.

Medicare can feel like a maze. My job is to walk you through it in plain English so you can decide what's right for you.

How I work

Education first. I'd rather you understand Medicare than feel rushed into a plan. We go at your pace.

And I'm local. I live in Pierce County. I know the carriers, the networks, and the quirks of how things work in Washington.

Who I help

Washington residents, ages 60 to 75, in Western Washington — from Tacoma, University Place, Lakewood, Puyallup, and Gig Harbor to Federal Way, Auburn, Kent, and Olympia. Whether you're three months from your 65th birthday or three years into Medicare, you're in the right place.

What working with me looks like

  1. Quick 10-minute call to understand what's on your mind.
  2. We book a free Medicare Review appointment when you're ready.
  3. We walk through your specific situation — your doctors, your drugs, your budget.
  4. You decide what's next. No pressure either way.

My personal business philosophy

My goal is to offer solutions that meet your needs today and for the life of your retirement. I believe in building a personal relationship with you as my client, so I can better understand your retirement goals and help you get there with confidence and peace of mind.

Education

Bachelor's Degree and designations received from Pacific Lutheran University.

A little about me

Family: I have a fiancé, 3 sisters, and 5 step-siblings. My fiancée and I have a crazy puppy named Dublin!

Community involvement: High school football coach, youth football coach, FCA member, and WSCA member.

Fun fact: I played 4 years of college football at Pacific Lutheran University, and now coach high school football at my alma mater!

Frequently asked questions

Are you an independent advisor or tied to one company?
I'm a licensed advisor with Bankers Life, and I work with multiple Medicare carriers serving Washington. The plan I recommend depends on your situation, not a quota.
How long is the first conversation?
Usually 10 to 15 minutes. We get arms around your situation and figure out what kind of help is useful next. No pressure, no commitment.
Do you charge for your time?
No. There's no charge to talk, ask questions, or get a second opinion. I'm paid by a carrier only if you choose to enroll through me.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. I meet Washington clients in person around Pierce County, and I do phone or video calls anywhere in Washington State.
