Meet Your Medicare Agent, Chris Vedral

Magnolia Senior Benefits is a independent insurance agency founded by Christopher Vedral.

Chris began his insurance career as a career life and health agent with MetLife in 1993 and this year marks his 28th year in the insurance industry. 

In his current role, Chris over sees the agency's day to day operations and focuses on both Medicare insurance plans which include Medicare Supplement (Medigap), Medicare Advantage, Part D prescription drug coverage and hospital indemnity as well as individual health insurance.

Chris received his Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice, graduating with honors and being awarded summa cum laude, from The City University of New York, John Jay College.

As an independent insurance agent specializing in the Medicare Insurance market, Chris provides solutions and alternatives for his clients, while putting their needs first, not for the insurance company. 

"On any given day, I provide free, unbiased advice and consultation to clients, mostly seniors who are frustrated and confused by all the different ads they read and commercials they see on TV. My goal is to build long term relationships by taking the time to explain the differences and pros and cons between things like Medicare Advantage vs a  Medicare Supplement(Medigap) Plans. Also, depending on an individual clients needs for prescription medications, I can locate and recommend a Part D drug plan, that is affordable and best fits their individual needs. Additionally, I offer advice and ways to help you save money on the rising cost of over-the-counter prescription drugs."

"I understand the challenges we are all faced with the Coronavirus pandemic. Therefore, my agency has the ability and technology to be completely virtual. Meaning, in addition to traditional in home and office appointments,  I offer virtual appointments by phone and video without leaving the safety and privacy of your own home." 

In his spare time and when he is not helping clients with their insurance needs, Chris enjoys time with his family by taking time to relax by taking trips to the beach, biking, going to the gym, reading and watching sports. During most of the summer months, Chris loves to grill and is a master of the barbecue  when having friends and family over. 

Chris' extended family includes his Yorkie Rosie and indoor cat Fitzgerald, both rescues from the SPCA.
