Medicare Agent on Long Island: Independent Help in Suffolk & Nassau
Greenlight Insurance Agency is a family-run, independent Medicare agency based on Long Island, NY. Since 2007 we have helped Long Islanders make sense of Medicare and pick coverage that fits their doctors, prescriptions, and budget.
Local help from people who know Long Island
Medicare decisions are personal, and they're local too. Which doctors you see, the hospitals near you, and whether you spend winters somewhere warmer all shape the right choice.
We live and work here, and we understand how Long Islanders use their healthcare. We meet by phone, by video, or in person, whichever is easiest for you.
Being independent means we don't work for one insurance company. We compare options from the insurers we represent and explain them in plain English, with no pressure.
Where we help on Long Island
We are Long Island based and work with clients all over Suffolk County and Nassau County. On the South Shore, that includes neighbors in West Islip, Babylon, West Babylon, Bay Shore, Islip, Brightwaters, Lindenhurst, Deer Park, and Brentwood.
Farther afield, we help people in Huntington, Smithtown, Patchogue, Hauppauge, and out to the East End. In Nassau we work with clients from Massapequa and Wantagh to Levittown, Hicksville, Garden City, and the North Shore.
If your town isn't listed, we can still help. Most reviews happen by phone or video.
What we help with
Turning 65
When to sign up for Parts A and B, how to avoid late penalties, and how to choose your coverage. See our turning 65 timeline.
Retiring and losing work coverage
Leaving an employer or union plan? We line up Medicare timing so you don't end up with a gap in coverage.
Annual Enrollment Period reviews
Every fall we check your drugs, doctors, and costs against next year's changes. Read about the AEP review.
Medicare Supplement (Medigap)
Plan G, High Deductible G, and Plan N, compared across insurers for your ZIP code. See Medigap in New York.
Medicare Advantage & Part D
A clear look at how these plans work and what to check before you choose: networks, drug lists, and out-of-pocket costs.
Other protection
Cancer insurance, critical illness coverage, and retirement planning conversations for people who want an extra layer of security.
Our help comes at no cost to you, and you are never obligated to enroll in anything.
Why New York's Medigap rules matter for Long Islanders
New York requires insurers that sell Medicare Supplement plans to accept applications year-round, and they can't charge more because of your health. Premiums also can't be based on your age.
That gives Long Islanders more flexibility than people in most states. If you already have a Medigap plan, it may be worth comparing what other insurers charge for the same plan in your area. Our New York Medigap guide explains how it works.
Meet Scott & Jordan
Scott Renert founded The Greenlight Insurance Agency in 2007. His son Jordan Renert now runs the agency alongside him. As a family business, we treat clients the way we would want our own parents treated. That means patient explanations, honest answers, and a phone that gets answered.
Many of our clients came to us through friends and family. You can read what our clients say or learn more about us.
