About Our Counselors

MMAP counselors are specialists trained in Medicare and Medicaid law and regulations, health insurance counseling and relevant insurance products.

Currently, MMAP has hundreds of highly trained and certified counselors. These dedicated and compassionate people, answer questions and act as guides through the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
