Alan Hansen

Redding, CA

I visited Alan Parkman because I was having some issues with supplemental and part D, where I was directed to go before the lady really messed me up. Within a few minutes of explaining my issues, Mr. Parkman had the solution, gave me options to decide what was best, helped explain the pros and cons and finally settled on the best product. after choosing and not before, he told me he actually had the same product, and it was the best outcome. I was approved for part B, supplemental, Part G and Part D drugs or pharmacy. Thanks to the knowledge of Mr. Parkman and his patience explaining I am really comfortable with the outcome. I look forward to working with Mr. Parman in the future and creating a relationship that will hopefully grow, with all the changes in the medical field, Medicare and the government we need more people like Mr. Parkman to help guide us on this journey.

Robert Martin

Redding, CA

I met Alan and DeeAnn at a presentation they gave at the Dignity Health senior center. I knew right that I was in great hands and a year later I am now sure of it. They walked me through the steps and options and set me up with the right plan. The face-to-face meeting was exactly what I needed. Even now they are local and only a phone call away and they always return my calls if I need to talk to them. Their personal attention and caring way along with their vast knowledge of products and options have me giving them 5 stars. I highly recommend them to anyone needing assistance with their medical coverage. If there were more than 5 stars, I would have given them to Alan and DeeAnn.

Michael Vincelli

Redding, CA

We found Alan (via Nextdoor) at his information table in Walmart last year when our Advantage plan terminated coverage in Shasta County. He spent so much time helping us sort through our options and getting us enrolled in a new plan.

Fast forward to 2025 and de ja vu, once again our Advantage plan has terminated Shasta County coverage. And, once again, Alan’s knowledge, patience, and kindness got us through the confusing maze of Medicare supplement plans.

We also attended two of the informational meetings explaining Medicare changes that Alan and DeeAnn held.

Thank you both for such knowledgeable, personal service!

Kathy Chavez

Redding, CA

My wife Kimberly and I are very grateful for the assistance we have received from DeeAnn of NetCare California. We have had two Medicare plans cancelled in our Tehama county in the past 4 years and DeeAnn and Allen’s knowledge and efforts has been excellent. I highly recommend this team. Thanks.

Rick Vasquez

Gerber, CA

I had an absolutely exceptional experience with DeeAnn. From our very first conversation, she was incredibly patient and remarkably knowledgeable.

Navigating the ‘ins and outs’ of Medicare supplemental plans felt overwhelming at first, but Deeann broke everything down into clear, understandable terms. Her friendly and personable approach made a huge difference, making me feel comfortable asking questions and truly understanding my options.

Thanks to her guidance, I was able to make the best decision for my healthcare needs. She helped me select a plan that fits perfectly and is saving me a substantial amount of money.

I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I had the best experience and achieved the best possible result, all because of DeeAnn’s professional help and personal touch. I highly recommend her services!

Both my husband and I have chosen DeeAnn to be our guide in choosing a Medicare plan.

When we first met with her, we had no idea how Medicare worked and what the differences were between the various plans supplements. We came away with a clear understanding and were able to chose the plan that suited us best.

DeeAnn helped us sign up and has followed up with us as needed.

We appreciate all her work on our behalf and recommend her to others looking for a licensed agent.
