Amanda Brewton
Amanda Brewton, founder of the Cleveland-based Field Marketing Organization Medicare Answers Now, has built a career supporting insurance agents and advocating for Medicare beneficiaries. With a strong focus on education, mentorship, and advocacy, she wants to reshape how brokers approach the Medicare insurance sector. Brewton believes that successful brokers need to combine technical knowledge with empathy and communication skills.
Creator of 2 national conferences, Ms. Medicare in Cleveland and Medicare & Margaritas in Orange Beach, Alabama, have become vital platforms for networking and learning. Amanda is also the partner & creative director for the Agent Symposium at the Medicarians: The Future of Senior Health, Retirees, and AgeTech Conference in Las Vegas, which is the industry’s largest event with over 4,000 of the Who’s Who attending.
Over nearly 20 years as a member of NABIP and through two stints on the Medicare Advisory Group, where she is still a member, Brewton collaborated directly with policymakers to address industry concerns. Looking ahead, Brewton’s vision for the Medicare industry includes reshaping public perceptions of brokers and expanding access to resources for beneficiaries. “I want to change the stereotype of what a good insurance agent or broker is,” she says. “Right now, the beneficiaries don’t have enough help around to answer the questions they have concerning their healthcare needs. The way to do that is to have that help and that education come through the insurance broker.”
