Some ask why a 60- year old “Benefits Brokerage” in San Jose would get involved in Medicare. \u00a0We see it as a way of giving back to our community… \u00a0and we share the following business philosophy with every individual who asks for assistance:<\/p>\n

\u201cI will never tell you what to buy\u2026rather I will coach and teach you to the point that you can make a great decision for yourself\u2026that you would know the \u201cbest practices\u201d of choosing a great medicare plan\u2026 and that you could, if questioned, successfully defend your decision with your friends and family\u2026 Why do I do this?\u00a0 <\/span>I do this so that someday, if I get hit by lightning, you will be equipped to carry on fabulously for the rest of your days.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>I believe this is the right thing to do.”<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

“I had the opportunity to find Marc when I was searching for the best agent who takes care of the client’s needs especially the elderly like me at 72.<\/p>\n

Though I had done some research on the web on various Medicare plans, when I contacted him with specific questions, he was so enthusiastic and took the time to explain to me on the pros and cons of each option.<\/p>\n

Marc educated me on many fronts that I couldn’t find explicitly in the web.<\/p>\n

Over all my rating is 5 + Stars though 5 stars are the highest in Yelp. I have already recommended to my friends who are exploring Medicare options.<\/p>\n

He is very fast in his email responses, to the point and crystal clear in communications! I wish him all the best!” \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 [<\/span>Raj R. in San Jose]<\/p>\n

I highly recommend Marc and his firm for all your health insurance related needs !!\u00a0” \u00a0 \u00a0 [<\/span>Mohan S. in Santa Clara]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A. Francois Derendinger Insurance Agency\u2019s Marc Derendinger is the expert you need to meet with if you are in need of advice on Medicare Insurance Supplement Coverage. In business since 1968 providing insurance coverage and assistance, always with the customer 1st. You won<\/span>\u2019<\/span>t find a more caring and thorough agent. Marc is so good I suggested my grandmother and mother contact his agency before making any decisions on coverage to avoid a mistake that could cost hundreds a month. I can share that Marc has helped my clients and several have raved about his service.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We cannot say enough great things about Marc Derendinger. If you have any health care insurance needs, especially related to Medicare, Marc is your “go-to” person. Marc is extremely knowledgeable and provides excellent customer service. He takes care of his clients like they are his family. Recently, Marc helped me with some very difficult medicare health insurance issues for my dad even though my dad is not his client and does not even reside in the area.<\/p>\n

\"Newsletter<\/a><\/p>\n

Marc spent countless hours with our family untangling the Medicare mess and helping us navigate the process so that my dad would get the care he needed and was enrolled in a plan that was appropriate for my dad. Marc is a great listener, a wonderful resource and takes great care of all his clients. It’s not just a business for him but he truly does what he does to help people in our community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I just turned 65 and was looking for help maneuvering through all the regulations and choices involved in signing up for Medicare.\u00a0 Marc is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He\u2019s easy to talk with and it\u2019s clear that he had my best interest in mind. I left my meeting with him much better prepared and able to make the best decisions for my future. Plus I now have an insurance professional that I can call if I have more questions down the road.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Marc was enormously helpful as I had to deal with finding last minute insurance for my dad. He gave expert advice on Medicare and enrollment periods, was extremely empathetic and calming, and was patient with us as we ran into numerous roadblocks.\u00a0 We absolutely could not have navigated this without him \u2013 and now my dad is fully insured with everything we needed and we can finally focus on the important stuff. \u00a0So glad we found Marc! And I\u2019d recommend his services to anybody. Even if you\u2019re dealing with stuff completely unheard of (as we were), Marc gives sound advice and\u00a0<\/span>just the right amount of space.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are independent agents: \u00a0Medicare is ever-changing, so get someone in your corner<\/a>..there’s no extra cost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
