Ronilin Weidauer, your Florida agent

Ronilin holds Florida insurance license #W690636 under National Producer Number 19427652, which you can verify with the Florida Department of Financial Services or through the NIPR. She works with Floridians statewide by phone and video, and every Medicare Advantage, Medigap or Part D enrollment from this site is written under her Florida licence.

Darin Weidauer, founder and author

A 22-year U.S. Air Force veteran who retired as an officer — and who spent Air Force years alongside the retirees now settled around MacDill, Eglin and Pensacola — Darin holds five master’s degrees, including an MBA and a Master’s in Dispute Resolution from Pepperdine University and a Master’s in Long-Term Care from the University of Southern California’s Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, where he became a credentialed gerontologist in 2014 — studying the human side of aging, not just the paperwork.

A former Professor of Aerospace Studies at Loyola Marymount University who has lectured at more than 50 colleges and universities, Darin now channels that teaching instinct into plain-English Medicare education: one-on-one reviews, no-cost community workshops, the free 295-page guide Retire With Confidence, and the pages on this site, every one of which he wrote or reviewed. He is also the founder of MyECOS360, an agency operating system for independent insurance agents, and the author of its training on insurance lead economics.

How we are paid, and what that means for you

ECOS Medicare Solutions is an independent agency: appointed with a number of Medicare Advantage, Medigap and Part D carriers in Florida, employed by none of them. When you enroll in a plan through us, the carrier pays us a commission. That commission comes out of the carrier’s filed rate — it is never added to your premium. You pay the same whether you enroll through us, through another agent, or directly with the insurer; going direct does not make a policy cheaper, and using us does not make it dearer.

We do not represent every plan sold in Florida, and we say so on every page. For a complete list, use Medicare.gov, 1-800-MEDICARE, or SHINE (1-800-963-5337), Florida’s free and independent counseling program.
