Hi, my name is Julianne Dickey and my company is called We Care Medicare. I am a Medicare insurance advocate here on the Central Coast and this is a little bit about what I do. I love this job for many reasons.

One is because I love people. I love listening to their stories and what they've done, who they care for, and what they're worried about. My mom used to say, "I don't collect stamps.

I collect people." And I finally understand what she means by that. Here's what I do for you. First, I explain how Medicare works, A, B, C, and D, and then all the local plans that are available to you.

We're going to start with your doctors, your medications, and your budget. No question is too small. No concern is too silly.

If you're turning 65 or new to Medicare or just confused at all the mail that you get, just give me a call. My guidance costs you nothing and paid directly by the insurance companies. Let's make Medicare make sense together.

In Julianne's words

What an advocate does for you.

Hi, I'm Julianne Dickey, We Care Medicare, your local insurance Medicare advocate. People ask me, what exactly is a Medicare insurance advocate? I'm licensed and I work for you, not the insurance companies.

I explain how Medicare works, Parts A, B, C, and D, and then how the local plans work for you. I compare plans using your doctors, your medications, and your budget. When something changes mid-year, like a doctor drops out of a plan, or maybe your medication goes to a pricier tier, you call me, not an 800 number.

And my guidance costs you nothing. I'm paid directly by the insurance companies. That's the whole job.

Call me and see. Let's make Medicare make sense together.

Nervous about making the call? You have nothing to worry about. Here's what actually happens.

We talk about you first, your doctors, your medications, what you're worried about. Plan names come later. I answer your questions in plain English, no jargon and no pressure.

You can decide later. Go home, think it over, call me back. We can meet at your kitchen table, over coffee or on Zoom or just over the phone, whatever's comfortable for you.

And it costs you nothing. Just say, Julianne, I have a Medicare question. That's it.

Let's make Medicare make sense together.

Julianne with her mother

A lesson from my mom

"I don't collect stamps. I collect people."

Hi, I'm Julianne. My mom always said, "I don't collect stamps. I collect people." She made time to listen and made people feel cared for. I carry that lesson into my work.

I'm a Cal Poly graduate and have called the Central Coast home for over 25 years. It's where I raised my family as a single mom and built my business.

Insurance can feel cold and confusing. I want our conversations to feel different. Your goals, worries, and questions come first. The plan names come later.

From architecture to insurance

My path started in architecture. Today, I help people understand Medicare and the insurance decisions that come with retirement. The work changed, but listening carefully and understanding how the pieces fit together stayed with me.

Over 13 years of Medicare experience have taught me that a plan comparison starts with a person. Your doctors, medications, budget, and plans for the future all matter.

Care that continues after enrollment

I wanted to bring warmth and support into the often cold environment of insurance. I stay in touch with my clients, respond promptly, and help them work through questions when they arise.

I know local provider networks, doctors, hospitals, and the insurance options associated with them. I can explain Parts A, B, C and D, compare Medicare Advantage and Supplement options, review prescriptions, and help you prepare for retirement insurance decisions.

Meet where you feel comfortable

I serve San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties, from Paso Robles to Lompoc. We can meet at your home, at an agreed location, over coffee, or online.

There is no fee for my Medicare guidance. Insurance companies pay me directly. You can ask questions and understand your options before deciding what to do.

Talk it through

Your questions belong here.

Julianne can help you understand how this applies to your own coverage and plans.
