Become an Independent Medicare Broker — On Your Terms
Maybe you’re working at a chain pharmacy where corporate rules prevent you from taking on additional roles. Or maybe you're ready to branch out and build something of your own. Either way, you don’t need permission to create opportunity. You already have the skills, the heart, and the healthcare experience. It’s time to apply those talents in a whole new way.
​
As a pharmacy tech, you’ve already proven you can study, pass exams, and care for patients. Becoming a licensed Medicare broker builds on those strengths—while giving you freedom, flexibility, and a new source of income. This path puts you in control.

If you’ve passed your pharmacy tech certification, you already have the discipline and drive to complete this journey. This isn’t harder—it’s just different. You’ll be learning a new skill set that builds directly on your existing strengths in healthcare, compliance, and patient communication.
