About Paul

 

Paul Barrett

Paul Barrett is the founder of The Modern Medicare Agency and has specialized exclusively in Medicare insurance since 2007. Unlike many agents who offer multiple types of insurance, Paul made the decision nearly two decades ago to focus solely on helping Medicare beneficiaries understand their options and avoid costly mistakes.

Paul is an independent Medicare broker licensed in New York and dozens of other states, giving clients access to plans from many of the nation's leading insurance carriers. His approach is simple: educate first, recommend second. There are no fees for his services, and his goal is always to help clients find coverage that fits their doctors, medications, budget, and long-term needs.

Known for explaining Medicare in plain English, Paul has earned a reputation for honest guidance, year-round support, and putting clients' interests first. He is the author of Medicare Mastery Unlocked and regularly conducts educational seminars, webinars, and community workshops designed to help people make informed Medicare decisions.

I was feeling confused and frustrated about how to move forward with Medicare Part B after already having Part A, and Paul made the entire process seamless. He is cordial, professional, and clearly very knowledgeable about insurance and Medicare. He helped me understand the complexities, carefully walked me through my options, and guided me to the plan that was the best fit for me. I also ended up with a plan that costs significantly less than what I likely would have chosen on my own. I highly recommend Paul to anyone trying to determine the best Medicare option for their situation.

I had been dreading the whole Medicare process for months - it felt completely overwhelming. A neighbor recommended Paul Barrett at The Modern Medicare Agency, and I’m so glad she did. Paul took over an hour explaining all my options in plain English, never once made me feel rushed, and helped me choose a Medigap Plan G that fits my budget perfectly. He even flagged an IRMAA situation I had no idea about. I’m in Huntington and will be sending everyone I know straight to Paul. Absolutely the best Medicare broker on Long Island.

Paul Barrett at The Modern Medicare Agency saved me from making a very expensive Medicare mistake. I was about to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan that didn’t include my cardiologist. Paul caught it, explained why network restrictions matter, and helped me find the right Medigap supplement instead. The name really fits — this isn’t your grandfather’s insurance office. Everything is clear, modern, and client-first. As someone from Centerport who values personal service, I truly appreciated his approach. The Modern Medicare Agency is the only name I give when friends ask about Medicare.

Paul was wonderful to work with. He took time to listen to my wants and needs for my medicare advantage plan. He gave me options and compared the options. Gave me the pros and cons of each plan too. He also answers your calls and gets back to you in a timely manner. I highly recommend him.

Paul Barrett at The Modern Medicare Agency was absolutely incredible in helping my husband and me transition from my workplace medical insurance to Medicare. We were overwhelmed by the complexity of the process, but Paul made everything clear, simple, and stress-free. We are incredibly grateful for the support and expertise he provided during this phase of our lives—something we were initially very anxious about. His deep understanding of the system, combined with a clear and compassionate approach, made everything feel manageable. Paul tailored the process to each of us, recognizing that our healthcare situations are different. He understands that everyone’s healthcare needs vary—there’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to Medicare. He took the time to listen, explain our options in detail, and guide us toward a plan that truly fits our lifestyle and budget. If you're navigating Medicare for the first time and feeling unsure about where to start—especially if you're coming from employer coverage—we can't recommend him highly enough. Truly a five-star experience from start to finish!
