Here's a preview of what to expect on the Medicare Advantage side next year. Carriers will continue to reduce "extra" benefits. Plans and carriers will exit some markets. But that open up opportunity for other carriers to come in and gain market share.

Americans enrolled in Medicare Advantage health plans should expect to see fewer extra benefits like gym memberships and vision and dental coverage next ​year, investors and industry experts say.

Sorry we have been radio silent of late! We have been nonstop! Between the end of March with the market disruption in Spartanburg, our travels for Dwayne's doctor visits, and a much needed vacation before surgery, there hasn't been a lot of free time to post!

Welcome to anyone following us from our ticket giveaways on 98.3 Fox Sports radio in Spartanburg. Congratulations to the winners! We hope you are enjoying Spartanburger baseball!

We wanted to take a moment to let our Tharpe Insurance Services, LLC family know that we are alive and well, and full speed ahead. Soon it will be time for us to go through our annual training cycle learning about all the changes for 2027, and getting ready to help our clients navigate those changes.

One thing in health insurance that doesn't change? Dana Tharpe and Dwayne Tharpe working hard to make sure we find the right fit for our clients!

We will be out of the office until after Dwayne's surgery later this month, thank you for all the love and understanding!

Last night we were honored to be part of the 8th Annual Spring Fundraiser for Carolina Adaptive Golf. Thanks to our friends Mike and Maggie, Josh Nadeau, and our son Orlando Hess-tharpe for spending the evening with us and raising money for a great local charity.

It was a great time and a super fun event!

We are leaving today for Washington, D.C. to advocate for our clients, and even those we havent had the privilege of working with yet.

Dana Tharpe and Dwayne Tharpe will be meeting with legislative staff to fight for your access to healthcare, to fight for affordability and common sense reforms to help drive down costs and protect your access to our guidance.

Carriers are increasingly using last minute compensation changes and other tactics to make it harder for you to access the plan that may be right for you. Pulling our compensation, taking plans off of enrollment platforms, changing our contracts in the middle of the enrollment season. Requiring paper applications.

We don't do this for the money, our hope is that you feel the love and passion we have for every person we encounter, whether you have need for what we offer, or if it is simply giving you the guidance to understand all of your options and sometimes the answer is the coverage you already have. At the same time we can't continue to do this without fair compensation from the carriers.

If you've used our services, please take a moment and share your story on this post, leave a comment for how we have impacted your life. Anything you feel we should pass along to our elected representatives so they understand your challenges with healthcare access and affordability. Those are the stories we take with us to connect those representatives with the people they represent.

Yesterday was bitter sweet as we said goodbye to our first office and moved everything to the new office. A huge thank you to everyone who reached out to offer help and to our family and friends who were able to do so! We are so lucky to have such a great circle of people in our lives. If you are reading this, you are one of those people for whom we are eternally grateful!

Just a reminder that even though we have physically moved out of our old office, we won't officially be in the new office until March 1. Much remains to be done before we are ready to open.

We are still working and always a phone call away!

We are excited to announce that we are relocating! We have signed the lease for our new office in the Montgomery Building in downtown Spartanburg. Please be patient with us as we transition to the new office. We are always just a phone call away, and we will be working during this time.

Tharpe Insurance Services, LLC offices will be closed for in person appointments for now. There was a small electrical fire above our office today and all of the water ended up in our offices. Everyone is okay, nobody was injured and that is the most important part. We will need some time for remediation of the water damage and will advise once we are able to be in the office again. In the meantime, we are still working and are only a phone call away. This will not stop us from serving our clients at all. We just wont be able to meet you at the office right now!
