Success Stories: Maxine Horn, PAMedi (Formerly APPRISE) client
It is an incredibly valuable resource. Questions about insurance are so complex, that unless you have done a great deal of studying on your own it’s not likely that you’re going to be able to answer those questions without help.

Success Stories: Robbie Lisi, APPRISE client
When I first became eligible for Medicare, it seemed like an overwhelming process. It was a great comfort to know that I could reach out to to the APPRISE (now PAMedi) program and get the information I needed. It was a tremendous source of relief to know that I would be pointed in the right direction.
