About Us
WHO WE ARE
Introduction to who we are
King Medicare Specialist was founded on a simple goal: to help people in Athens, Alabama, and surrounding communities understand Medicare without confusion or pressure. For more than 15 years, we have built our reputation on honesty, education, and personal attention. Medicare can feel complicated when you first approach it—there are multiple parts, deadlines, and coverage choices that can change every year. Our role is to make that process clear, straightforward, and tailored to you.
At King Medicare Specialist, every client receives individual guidance from a licensed professional who listens first and explains every step. We believe seniors deserve support that feels personal, not corporate. Our office is locally owned and operated, which means when you call us, you reach real people in your community—not a call center.
We help our clients make informed decisions about Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement plans, prescription drug coverage, hospital indemnity, dental, vision, hearing, life insurance, and long-term care. No matter where you are in your Medicare journey—whether you are turning 65, preparing to retire, or simply reviewing your options—you can count on us for clear information and steady support.
Our Journey
Our story and values
King Medicare Specialist began with a desire to bridge the gap between complex insurance language and everyday understanding. Over the years, we have seen too many people enroll in plans that did not fit their health needs or budgets simply because no one took the time to explain the details. That is why education sits at the heart of everything we do.
Our founder and lead advisor, Lauri, established the agency after witnessing how confusing Medicare can be for individuals trying to handle enrollment on their own. She built King Medicare Specialist around values of clarity, compassion, and consistency. Every recommendation is based on what fits the client—not what benefits a carrier.
These guiding principles continue to shape our daily work:
Integrity
Every conversation is transparent, honest, and free of pressure.
Clarity
We explain each plan in plain language so you fully understand your choices.
Community
As local advisors, we value the people we serve and the trust they place in us.
Ongoing support
Medicare is not a one-time decision. We are here for you year after year to ensure your coverage stays aligned with your life.
Our community commitment
Being local means more than having an office in Athens. We participate in community education sessions, senior events, and informational workshops that teach residents about Medicare basics, timelines, and new plan updates. Our goal is to make Medicare knowledge accessible to everyone, not just our clients.
We understand that health insurance choices affect real lives. By empowering people with knowledge, we help protect families, savings, and peace of mind. Our mission extends beyond paperwork—it’s about helping our neighbors stay healthy, secure, and confident in their retirement years.

Why choose King Medicare Specialist
When you choose King Medicare Specialist, you partner with a team that understands both Medicare and the local healthcare landscape. We take time to learn about your priorities—your doctors, prescriptions, and financial comfort zone—before we ever suggest a plan. Our independence allows us to compare multiple carriers objectively and present you with clear, side-by-side options.
Many national companies advertise “Medicare help,” but few offer the local insight we bring. We know which hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies serve Athens-area residents and which plans provide the most practical access. Whether you prefer comprehensive Medicare Advantage coverage or the flexibility of a Medicare Supplement plan, we will outline the pros and cons so you can make an informed choice.
Our service continues well beyond enrollment. Each year, we assist clients with reviewing their coverage during the Annual Enrollment Period and address any questions or changes throughout the year. It is not just about signing up—it is about staying supported.
