One of Maryland's premier Medicare insurance agency, Maryland Medicare Options, has announced their expansion and new company name amidst a dynamic Annual Enrollment season for 2026 Advantage Plans.
Found and CEO, Peter Palmiotto, explained "With the increased demand for our services, I felt it was critical that we expand our capcity to serve our clients. We've added two additional independent Medicare Brokers who work directly with me handling more of the day-to-day sales and customer support." Palmiotto, a Medicare Broker himself since 2011, further stated "We also felt the need to broaden our appeal with a new website and new corporate branding. We're happy to be launching East Coast Health Advisors, which will serve as our hub to develop not only our in-house sales team, but will handle recruiting and training of our sub-agents as we grow into a full-service Agency. Our long term goal is to offer our services to clients throughout the Mid-Atlantic region."
Mutiple nationwide Maryland Medicare Advantage Plans have announced their reduction or total exit from the State of Maryland affecting nearly 100,000 seniors in 2026. This represents almost 50% of all Medicare Advantage Plan users in Maryland, with plans termiating at the end of 2025. "While we don't like seeing people lose coverage, this presents a major opportunity for us to pick up a large portion of this business," said Palmiotto, further adding "We now have a much greater capbility to handle the call volume and enroll seniors in a new Advantage Plan for 2026."
While Maryand Medicare Options (MMO) was founded in 2020, it has served the local region well, enrolling more than 1,300 clients in just a few short years. Palmiotto clarified that the original brand isn't going anywhere, and will continue to be used for marketing in the local Maryland market. Clients should expect to see a combination of marketing from both Maryland Medicare Options and the newly launched East Coast Health Advisors for a few months into 2026, while they sunset marketing items from MMO over Q1 of 2026.
"We feel we're well positioned for fast growth throughout 2026 and are excited to improve our overall customer service. We're streamlining our service to our seniors, which I'm sure they'll appreciate," Palmiotto explained.
