WANT TO KNOW ABOUT

 

Senior Benefits Boston

Senior Benefits Boston was started in 2016 by Scott Maibor to focus exclusively on helping clients navigate the confusing world of Medicare and complimentary products. 

 

Scott started in Medicare when a Life Insurance colleague asked if he would be interested in assisting Medicare clients as a side-line to the other insurance products Scott was focused on at the time.  While initially reluctant (in fact Scott turned down the offer 3 times before giving in!), Scott finally agreed to help clients, in a limited geographic area (Boston's North Shore), with their Medicare.  

 

The "ah ha" moment came when Scott realized prospective clients were returning calls asking for help!  As surprising as this sounds, it almost never happens with the other types of Insruance that Scott had previously represented!

 

As the Boomers age onto Medicare, the number of people reaching Medicare age with questions and trepidation was overwhelming.  So many people, with so many questions, anxious for the professional guidance they are accustomed to in other areas of their lives (financial, legal, tax, etc.) but with  few places to turn.  

 

Over time, Scott built up his practice and reputation North of Boston, conducting workshops at libraries, community centers, religious & civic group meetings and online. 

 

Then Covid came and the world changed overnight.

 

Suddenly, what was the norm (in fact required!), meeting clients in person, was no longer allowed!

 

Workshops were banned!

 

This is when Scott realized that most of his clients were coming from 2 sources: referrals from previous clients and referrals from other professionals (Financial Planners, CPAs, Attorneys, etc.) looking for a partner to help with their clients' questions.  

 

Scott spend the beginning of the Covid lockdown rethinking how best to work remotely with clients, without sacrificing the level of service and attention to detail that clients expected but in a virtual world unrestrcited by geography. 

 

Scott now represents clients in 26 states and works with Individuals, Professional Advisors & Employers across the country with the goal of

"always maximizing coverage while reducing costs" while providing piece of mind.

 

As the Medicare Insurance industry evolves and compliance requirements change Senior Benefits Boston will adapt. 

 

One reaction to this change was the decision by Scott to have Senior Beneifts Boston begin utilizing a fee-based Medicare model with an obligation to act as a fiduciary in the best interest of our clients.

 

Scott lives with his wife north of Boston where he frequently records his "Medicare Missives from the Pond" on his morning walk.  They have 3 adult children and a cat.
