About Hallendine
Ruth Hallendine spent fourteen years in a Prescott hospital billing office. She saw what happens when people choose a plan from a postcard and only discover the network gap when it matters most.
In 2009, Ruth opened Hallendine Medicare Advisors to sit down with people before they choose, not after. The agency compares Medicare supplement, Medicare Advantage and drug plans from several insurance companies, begins with doctors and prescriptions, and comes back every fall to review what changed.
There is no charge for a meeting or a review. The insurance company pays us, and you pay the same premium whether you enroll through us, through the company, or through Medicare.gov.

Ruth ran the billing office at a Prescott hospital for fourteen years. After watching new retirees learn too late that a surgeon was outside their network, she started Hallendine in 2009 so people could make choices before they need care.
